We have a '07 and an '08 MMH. The '07 was standard AWD. The '08 could be bought with either FWD or AWD. The Tax Credit is higher for the FWD! Mike Michael...
Not to mention that multiple patents can be an effective way to thwart attempts to reverse engineer. Including ours. I think we are left with sufficient...
If you read or post 100 patents, 99 of them will not be used in real life. Now, if you only read 25 patents, there's a 4-to-1 chance none of them were used in...
John, can you give any written documents to back up your claims about the patent? I produce something written, but you never do. Instead, you just make claims...
Gary, please calm down. Same thing applies to light bulbs. Look up 100 light bulb patents, and 99 won't be built. Nothing personal should be taken, as nothing...
I admit I am short - which is why I remove the back seat head rests so I can see. (I rarely have back seat passengers.) Other than sticking them on the back...
I just took delivery on my 2008 Escape Hybrid (AWD) this past Friday. I traded in my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (53,000 Miles), which was purchased by trading in...

Is there a Shop Manual available for the transmission? I'm assuming that the days of a step-by-step of how to do it are long past <sad>, what reference would a...
"Your car is strange. When you're driving it, the engine shuts itself off sometimes. When it's parked, the engine starts by itself sometimes." True! I do...
Ford has done this for years now. Something they picked up from Mazda? I thought the Midwest Region got different deals because they were close to the factory?...
... My sympathy to you Dennis. I did that long commute for almost a year in Boston traffic. I don't think I would have been able to do it in my old Taurus. The...
Another approach would be whether data from the OBD system can be used to isolate spin rates of mg1 & mg2 or power shunted to/from the battery to the mg's. We...
... Thank you for the corroboration, Sue. When we tried to buy a 5-door Focus with the PZEV engine a few years ago, it wasn't available in our region, though...
... It was the case with Ford and their Focus three or so years ago. I couldn't order the PZEV engine in a 5-door Focus in Wisconsin (but, I did find a dealer...
... In my case, I could see the computer screen as the salesman tried or order up the car I was asking for. Again, just an anecdote, but something definitely...
... If you look back in history, Terry, you'll see a period of time where the PZEV engine was indeed available "nationwide" in the 5-door Focus, per Ford's web...
... Sorry, that's not entirely correct. MOST makers don't make their SULEV models available outside the six states that have adopted CARB regulations. That's...

OK. I can finally comment with certainty about MY contribution to this discussion. Recall that I stated (below) that our MMH was a FWD, but at the time I...
Thanks for posting Reed. Your Mercury will operate as FWD under most conditions. Power is only sent to the rear, if the front begins to slip. So most of the...
Thanks for the clarification, Reed. ... I tend toward the latter.. Passengers who ride with me for any distance comment on the smooth ride. I think of the big...
