Except they shut off when the door closes

I got mine today, they're completely pointless, but they are bling-a-licious. :banvictory: It took them a while, they had my car most of the day yesterday, because I was at work when they finished I just had them hold it overnight and picked it up this morning. But it took over 5-6 hours. It involved removing the headliner and pulling up the carpet to run the wiring down the A frames, glad I had them do it. My Ford service place did it for $300, but I saw someone else got theirs done for $280 on another forum, your mileage may vary.

I would have bought the Energi if not for the trunk.

My wife and I have had Sirius for many years recently we cut back to just her radio, and I pay the $3 extra for the streaming, it works out well. We'll probably just let the free subscription in my car lapse and continue doing that.

I sure fricken hope so.

1st commute through LA traffic, I got 47.9 mpg on my way to work, and 35.5 on my way home. Avg for the whole 70 mile roundtrip commute 41.7 mpg. That was basically driving as I normally did in my GMC jimmy. still at 31.1 lifetime mpg since I picked it up though. It's been covered in brush fire ashes the last few days, so I bought a California duster.

rear Middle seatbelt buckle was missing and turned out to be inside the seatbelt mechanism

I've been using the Sirius Internet android app, you can download the whole Howard Stern show with no commercials. The App just added Applink support, now if Ford would just add it to MFT. Since the live channels are streaming from the internet each channel is pre buffered 5 hours, so when you switch to a station you can go back 5 hours. Pretty Amazing! I had the app before I got the car, so I'll probably let the car subscription lapse after 6 months and continue to use the app.

As an FYI, this adapter did not fit. 45 cents wasted!!!

Finally got my HyTi today, after waiting 3 weeks for a seatbelt repair, I get there, and I sh*t you not, the rear middle seatbelt buckle was missing!! :doh: :rant: :rant2: The manager must have seen a look on my face because he told the salesman, to pull a Fusion from the lot with a charcoal interior and swap out the belt, I said, "Where was this line of thinking 3 weeks ago?!!?" So they go to swap it out and discover that the buckle was inside the top of the seat, they must have closed it up inside when they replaced the bad one. Needless to say, they knocked off $3000 and will be giving me several free fill ups over the next couple months. In the end, I finally have my car and they did give me quite a bit to make me happy. Will post pics tomorrow.

Delivered.... finally.

It's a 2.0 Ecoboost Titanium, it has the same rims and it has the dual integrated exhausts.

That's really cool!

I'm more scared it will only shrink certain parts.

Good news is I got my 2013 Ruby Red Ford Fusion Bad news is, it's pictured below. Not as roomy as one would hope.

As is, before or after the air conditioner screeches like a banshee? :)

Might I suggest an addition? http://www.amazon.com/Greenlight-Sterling-Metallic-Die-Cast-Vehicle/dp/B008FXRG2Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369640567&sr=8-2&keywords=ford+fusion just model a tiny Mr Fusion on top of it to explain why a modern car is in that time period.

Speaking as someone whose car has showed up but is sitting in the service lot waiting for a fix, I would be burning the dealership down if I had paid for it ahead of time. And I'd hate to see how unmotivated they'd be if they already had my money. It's been 3 weeks, and at least a new lie every couple days, and it's still waiting on a magical part, that's so rare that it's in every fusion sitting on their lot, and every fusion being produced in Mexico.

If you want to just play with the basics without turning on the car you can try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ford.avatar&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mb3JkLmF2YXRhciJd it emulates the MFT interface on an android tablet.
