We've been in the mid-40's the past week or so and it's trying its best to melt this damn snow. I can find Sonya now, but behind her is still a freaking lot of snowplow berm. Probably won't be until another week passes before I find a way to get her out of the spot she's in. LOL
Red is just as buried across the street in the other spot I use. That big snow put 30 inches behind him and then the plows filled it in more and made it like concrete. One way or another he comes out this weekend. I hope.
I think today is the day since it's beautiful blue sky, currently, in the high 30s, this might be the day I go out and finish the Edge. Pull off the bra, put in the new headlight bulbs, add the door rain guards, add the air cleaner mount plate (just came in), and pull a wheel to make 100% sure that the hub centers on the Mustang rims will go over the hubs on the edge. The damn books show them the same but another shows a 1 mm difference. Hmm??? Trying it today anyway. If they fit, then I'll go have the rubber-mounted on them with the correct sensors. Time to get rid of the piles of stuff and make it more manageable. I finally found the floor in my extra bedroom. Nothing but car/truck stuff, everywhere. I must be a freakin' hoarder.
At least the Edge got the Sport taillights installed. LOL. 5 minutes, both sides done. My kind of job. LOL Best part was the price. Free. Gotta love that pricing.

I sure wish we had that much snow. We've already had a couple of fires.
I too am a hoarder, and I approve of your message, AK. I'm hoping to be able to get some things done Saturday afternoon. The Eight Nine has new headlights, taillights, carpet, door seals.... and it really needs a bath too!
I have a full set of extra GT 07 Mustang wheels that should look fairly close to the ones currently on the Edge. I'm going to use these with the Ford logo caps, not the Mustang emblem. Offset is -2 difference, so that's basically 3/64th of an inch. Don't see any problem there. Width will be the big deal but 1/2 inch shouldn't make a lot of difference. May have to swap the steering bumper cushion to the ones for 20inch wheels, but that's easy enough to do. I'll know later today. LOL
I tried putting those S197 wheels that I have on Frankie. The offset was waaaaay too far off. They'll probably end up on one of the Escapes again. I liked them on the 06 a lot.
These trucks especially. Due to the fact they last so long mechanically with simple maintenance. Too bad they're not rust proof. We would see a lot more of them here the rust belt.
