The Aviator is the New Lincoln line for 2003. It basically is the Lincoln model of the Mercury Mountaineer and the Ford Explorer. It comes with a 302 HP V8 quad captain chairs and a third row. It basically is a Mini-me of the Navigator. Here is another pic.

Your Aviator looks good, and I hear the inside is even better...

I was going to do switches... But there is too much maintenance. I am not into that, and also I don't want to have to deal with any leaks, or hoses coming off.

Especially if I am with a girl... Hehehe. It would have been a tight quick set-up but oh well... Eibachs will have to do.

Hey, if you're making big bucks why not? I was looking into the Volvo XC90 until I found out that if I put 10 grand down, the payments were 1100/mo. That's ridiculous, I don't have the salary to be able to cover it. It's almost half my mortgage payment. You get into this questioning, Volvo SUV is sweet, but $1100/mo? Brand-new Camry would be $265/mo putting 10 grand down. How does one justify the extra 835/mo? Easy, if you're making big bucks you just do it.
