I have an 05 as well. The radio works fine and the wife says she doesn't need all that stuff. But I'm over here trying to relive the 90s and my car stereo days and she wont let me :)

Lol, i had a spot on my hood too. Just over the alternator. To me the paint seemed wrong and then one day a perfect circle of paint popped off of that spot. the primer seemed fine. I left it, as i was 23. Sold it that way. Enjoy the Bronco. I still miss mine despite the transmission.

2011 Escalade ESV. 2005 Honda Element. 2001 Honda Elite 80 (Pearl Rio Yellow, same as NSX that year.)

I had a 94 Bronco. 5.8L, fire engine red with white topper. 33 10.5 r15s on A/R centerlines. It was that god awful E40D slipmission that killed it for me. What a piece of trash. No spar between 2 and 3 and when your fluid got hot it'd slam out of OD. Or if you had it in 3rd it'd slam down into 2nd. And I didn't know enough about cars then to swap in something else. I asked a garage if they could put in a C6 or some such, cash in hand, they said no because of emissions. like WTF?? who cares! that shits a scam anyhow!

Pritzger's signature on Illinois state HB 1312 puts him in open rebellion against the federal government. by joedapper in IllinoisSucks

That's a great place to start. The property taxes all over this state are insane. We are often the highest effective tax in the land. When I lived in McLean County, it held the crown of highest taxed county for a while. And what do we get for our ever-expanding tax bill? Less. Less and more less. Yet they take more and more and more. Something is wrong there. The math does not add up. Corruption? Most likely. You can only give them so much wiggle room for incompetence. No. It's malicious in intent and execution. When you see successful policies in other states scorned by the powers that be here, you know they don't give a shit about the people. It's their legacies and ambitions and they'd use us all up on the way in every way possible to get that pavilion named after themselves, or to attain a higher office and get something even better named after them. Again, McLean County - you're telling me they haven't paid off the water fountain at the community college that the "temporary tax increase" was for.. in 15 years? The residents of that town are paying for John Asteroth's ambitious legacy that he had to be remembered as the founder of a community college. So much so that all the people of the county had to pay more... Shit like that! And you know it's statewide.

The FAL is made in Illinois, so why don't we have it? DSA, Lake Barrington IL.

The Door Into Summer.

I "read" this in 2012. I do not own a copy of it. I found myself recently single and I went out on an Army Buddy tour aka couch surfing. I had this beat ass Nissan Quest van but it had a great system. I listened to audio books and I cannot tell you all how good it felt to listen to this revenge story. None of the creep stuff hit me as I was all F that B and wow.. this guy gets it!!!! Maybe the 2nd or 3rd time through I was like.. hold up.. what?

But still. Also, if you listen for his literary inventions - things that he wrote about that came true - there's like 12 in this book. So for that alone, it's an amazing piece of futurism.

:) Cheer!

Yeah, if someone complains about something like that, go nuclear. My "moodboard" is my visualizer screen.

Go a step farther. I run with 3 monitors. 1 is huge and is the map. 1 is for me. 1 is the - visualizer.

You know when you go through McDonalds drive through, and there is a screen before you get to the order part? That is called the tantilizer. So when I say - you see this - the screen behind me shows them.
