Yes, but how much is hard to say due to all the wind. I would guess an inch or two.

N.E.S.T. is having it's next GTG at the shop January 23rd. Only catch is ya gotta have a 7.3 but so long as you do you're welcome.
Hmmm, I should go to my Ford parts guy and get some 7.3 placards for my van maybe if they don't look under the hood I can get in on the GTG.

Seeing though that the dealership had yet to start working on my van I wonder if it will be ready for any January GTG.

Hi there Ken.

Nothing much here at work.

I had a nice weekend, not too much of that white fluffy stuff.

I don't really know what you're referring to. The Explorer is still considered a SUV.

Ken:

As I understand it true SUV's are built on a truck frame, while crossovers are unibody construction (car based).

In re-reading this 8-hot-cars-class-of-2000: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance I guess the Explorer will become a crossover.

Sorry

I had heard that they were going to make rather drastic changes in the Explorer for the 2011 MY...hopefully it will stimulate sales!!!
