you know you drive an Excursion when.....

Thought about this thread yesterday... you know you drive an Excursion when you get out the stepladder to scrape the snow off your windshield. Living in NC, I don't have much occasion to deal with snow. This weekend is the first time I've ever had snow since I bought my Ex a few years ago. Went out to scrape the snow off the windshield. Wasn't really thinking about it until I walked up to the side of the Ex, stopped, and realized I wasn't going to be able to reach much of it standing on the ground.

Luckily I've never had my F250 gell on me, however the cold knocked the heck out of my batteries last week. Temp was in the single digits and I didn't get it in the garage. They just wouldn't spin the engine quick enough to fire it up.

When you have to go to 6 different repair shops to find one with an alignment rack powerful enough to lift your Excursion!!!
2 firestone stores, (first one claimed lift broke when they tried to lift it) Discount tire, Sears, then 2 Pep boys stores. first store directed me to their main ....store a few miles away, in downtown LA that had a rack big enough to do the alignment..... 2nd Firestone store I actually stood next to the tech as he tried to raise the rack... it budged one side a bit and that was all she wrote...

Had that happen to me. Had a Civic rear end me and I my trailer hitch and 2" ball totaled it. Not a scratch on my X, but I had the hitch checked out to be safe.....

When your mechanic does not want to get under your Excursion while on the lift......it went up a lot slower than normal he said! I had my front sway bar end bushings/rods replaced while it was being state inspected today....eliminating that bumping sound at 73,000 miles. They were due. The best news....my rotors and brakes pads are like new! I've put on about 3,000 miles since I purchased my Ex. and I wasn't sure what we would find today. I knew the tires were new and they must have changed the rotors and brakes also. A great day for me and the Ex....how often can you say that?, Mike.
