I don't promise not to react in the future, but I will promise to think a little longer about it before I do. Deal?
Ah, Come on Ginnna, if more people thought before they posted, some of the humor would leave the site!

Re: Force and the Excursion

The SUVs are not hauled, they are driven race to race to shop to where ever, and at least 3 of them haul trailers behind them. More than likely over 120,000 mile on each of them.

Re: Force and the Excursion

Even though this is somewhat of a dumb thread here is the straight scoop.
The JFR support vehicles are replaced every two years and rack up about 45,000 miles per year. The new ones just arrived at the Yorba Linda shop and they are the long version of the Expedition.
