Default New Pig in the Stable

Picked up my Lincoln Navigator yesterday. Its a sweet ride and I like it.

**Notice the Bronco and C4 993 still take priority in the garage!!!

This is my 3rd vehicle I have found and purchased in my underware in the past 5 years. In this occassion, I did test drive this one before I signed the check yesterday.

White SUVs are faster, right?

Between getting emissions done on the Bronco, fixing a tail light on the Explorer ( I did that one) , getting a full detail on the Explorer today, mowing the lawn and run a few errands, I havent even really driven it beside from Orem, UT (BYU territory) to home base--about 25 miles.

My girlfriend took it out today and went out and about. She figured out how to program her seat position. I figured out the combination to the keyless entry and how to pop the hood--which I had to break out the users guide for that one.

And yes, it does ride nicely. We are going to Vegas for Turkey Day and Disneyland for a couple of days over the holiday. Im going to start exploring the 4 corners region (UT, NM, AZ, CO) a little more by vehicle so its the main reason why I purchased it----comfortable regional road trips. Its an outdoor playground out here in this neck of the US. Of course a few trips will be in the C4 but the Navi will be a much more comfortable ride, especially with a 3 year old.

That would be the ultimate ski hauler, (although I saw a 997 with a ski rack on, go by yesterday). And you live in the middle of some great ski country.

Enjoy

I dunno about white Navigators ... but white GT3's are faster.

Very nice ... enjoy!

Now if gas would keep coming down that would great. I noticed in some areas of AR, its like $2.50 a gallon. Its all relative but cant complain about paying less for gas.

Utah STILL has one of the highest prices in the nation--with the exception of AK, HI, and CA. SOFA KING WE TODD DID.....I say.

Good choice. We had the exact same vehicle.

On the subject of white. My wife decided to widen the garage door opening with her blue Escalade this weekend. Now it is a blue and white Escalade. In this case, it WILL likely buff right out.
