Looking for a full coverage Ford Warranty? Check out Flood Ford - seriously!

When you buy a new vehicle nowadays, there are so many bells and whistles that are just amazing - but also VERY expensive to fix.  With our new car purchases, we usually get an extended warranty beyond the standard 3-yrs/36k miles - why?  Because we usually own our vehicles beyond those time-frames and/or miles...

Sure you can use your dealer that you purchase from, or shop around - I found this site is a full coverage Ford/Mercury/Lincoln dealer that offers excellent pricing!

Just put in your Make, Model, Year and the numbers are updated for you.  They offer $0, $50, $100 and $200 deductible plans up to 8 years and 150k miles!!

Trust me, the prices are fantastic!

The guys at America's tire were nice enough to put the chrome lugs on, and ordered black ones and will swap them out for me when they come in.  Here are pics mounted!

The black lugs will look awesome once they come in!

Nice flush look with the little bit more offset!

and now - with the right colored lug nuts :)

Visiting the Concours d'Elegance - August 2018

My wife and I love to visit Monterey, CA each year for our anniversary - but this year, we happened to visit the same week of the Concours d'Elegance!  So here are the pics!  Let's start with a Raptor (actually it's an F-150 converted) with the Gulf Livery - our '17 Avalanche in the background :)

     

and now the super FUN pics!!
