Random pleasures

.....I like how I can shut off the engine and the transmission dial will rotate to Park on its own.

Didn’t know that!

At work I drive a Fusion Hybrid with rotary shifter, it does the same thing. My 2013 MKZ push button transmission also did that. It's a safety feature of the new electronic transmissions.

The ST will also put the transmission in park when you open the driver's door

Yes both turning off the engine and opening the door will put the transmission in park both on Lincoln's push button shifter and Ford's rotary shifter. I imagine other brands do the same for safety reasons. Remember in the old days, before keyless push button start, you could not take your key out of the ignition until the shifter was put in park!

I believe most electronic shifters will do that automatically as a safety feature.

How FordPass has a location on your vehicle at all times. Much like a high-end LoJack.

Yesterday, I had some fun with a Warlock Hemi. I think I pissed him off. Behind him in on-ramp, pulled onto empty 495's three north-bound lanes. At about 45 mph, he stomped on it - I did also. At 95, the snow on my roof flew off and engulfed him about 10 car lengths behind. Kinda dusted him..... At 115 he lifted, but he was waaaaay back there.

This is exactly my kind of "life's little pleasures". And one of the many reasons I love my ST.

We have to take what we can get these days! I'm sitting in my front passenger seat with the sunroof open drinking my cold brew in the Dunkin parking lot! Ah the good life!

Just got this today from Zazzle - $16. (any picture you want) I'm not sure I like it. I think I'd rather have cover for the whole section.
