I wonder if the problem has been associated with certain c-max's Ie built between X date and Y date. And with a certain option code. or is it just dumb luck... my SEL which I've owned used since May and I have my ipod plugged into the usb port 100% of the time. and so far (knock wood) the vehicle has not even hesitated to start.

I called ford about 2 weeks ago. I bought my cmax used from a honda dealership. Ford claims I am due to receive a check... They also explained that tracking down the owners via vehcile registrations and such takes abit more time. My dilemma was that I purchased he car before the deadline in one state and was issued temp tags. but I was not able not register my car in my state until after i got the clear title, which was after the deadline. So I can understand the difficulty of following a paper trail for tens of thousands vehicles nationwide. They said if I don't get a check by the end of september to call them back. I'm not concerned. I have proof of ownership before the deadline, they have a case file already opened for me.

it'll buff out...

when it comes to modding cars no it does not ever stop... once you start...

jus.....not sure I understand your request to PM adair...

cool. I used to race an albacore dinghy out of WSM...if you ever need a "deckhand" let me know...

now you need to smoke the lenses and tint the windows...

could have easily made 600 miles.. what kind of cat do you have? do you sail at WSM?

the publix delis make a pretty mean sub too...

helluva deal... wish we had that up here. i got a 10 cent discount on fuel when I filled up today as a result of my grocery purchases... wish I could get fuel discounts based on the amount of beer i buy...:)

well made the 600 mile club 603 miles 48.9 mpg indicated 12.3 gallons indicated 365 ev 24mph average 13.3 pumped 45.3 mpg calculated

made it... 603 miles 13.3 gallons pumped

I like the wheels. much easier to clean than ours.. I like the lower grille recessed on the current model. but the more aero nose on the new one should help some though with the mpg.... looks like that they change the guages up a bit as well...

Yeah, my folks, who live in the villages woudl love it.. but not really inclined to do a job search and uproot the kid from high school and loose my tuition benefits for her college... :)

after living in orlando and kissimmee for 10 years...I loved the winters... yes the heat/humidity is a drag. but I'll take it over snow... I miss florida...

I have access to alldata which is an automotive OEM service and repair manual site... So no magic searching fingers...

noticed the last few cool mornings...even having the car garaged. the ICE running a bit longer to warm things up..

Paul, yeah I haven't done it yet.. made them for the prius..nice custom carbon fiber... not sure if i'm going to do it for the C-max or not..

starting to get the hang of the cmax mpg (hopefully looking at the first 600 mile tank) not looking forward to the less powerful fuel.. and all the other associated winter MPG killers...

one of the lucky ones...car is garaged at home, yeah I'm one of the anal retentive types that actually keeps TWO cars in a TWO car garage. And at work I'm in a parking garage as well. That being said. even if you stop at a shopping center and it happens to be nasty weather, rainy, windy, ect. its amazing how much leaf litter you pick up. why not something like a stainless steel mesh/screen http://www.twpinc.com/wire-mesh-material/stainless-steel or a perforated metal. http://www.pwsteel.com/petro_perforated_metal.html here is some weatherproof foam... http://www.foambymail.com/outdoor-foam-seats-and-cushions.html

ok now I feel like a idiot... never thought of that.. duh... well I'm halfway into a tank and showing 330 miles on the trip and 300 on the DTE maybe my first 600 tank...
