So, I just came across this, and my jaw hit the floor...

I can only guess at the money that has gone into this Excursion!

The Canadian dollar is hurting right now so it might not make sense to buy in the US right now with the exchange rate, but I still find it economical to make a run down to Calais Maine every once in awhile and pick up whatever I have had sent there. I find some US deals are just too good to pass up, also there are so many items that we Canucks just can't snag up here.

It beats those nutty forwarding companies that want an arm and a leg.

I have family just across the border and get most thing I want/need there, but the size weight make it unrealistic for my 65 year old aunt to handle.

I use mine to travel in search of snow a couple times per year, health permitting

Andy, I'm only messing with you, if I lived up north I'd be doing the same. As a spoiled only son, been garaging my rides since I was 16, parents would buy me a winter beater every year so I could garage my at the time muscle cars.

Rolled over 180,000 miles last night. Also a new windshield last week. It didn't survive this cold winter.

And slimey!

I shoulda taken some pictures. We got 2 inches of very wet snow this AM, now the sun is shining, 50 degrees and all the snow is gone. Not quite 90, but I'll take it for now......

Few more weeks and it will be time to take the EX out of hibernation.

Didn't do this today (few weeks ago), but made a world of difference. Hellwig rear stabilizer bar. The Ex drives so much better - no comparision to stock. By far the best upgrade to the Ex I have done to date - cannot believe they let these rigs leave the factory without a rear stabilizer bar.
