    Genicolor touch up paint pen

    I used a Genicolor touch up pen to cover up some light scratches that has taken the paint off and it worked pretty well. The color from the pen was very close to the original color and it does a good job of masking the scratches. It does dry fast though and you don't have much time to play with it.

    I think I remember reading somewhere that a 16" rim will rub some part of the brake components on 03+ expeditions and that's why the 03 came with 17" stock wheels. Is this true? On a related topic, I know 33" tires will rub on a stock 03 2WD, but I should be able to fit 33's without a lift on...

    Somehow I went past the speed limiter?

    I was driving on the freeway and I decided to do a little burst of speed to see how fast I could get from 70 to 100mph and somehow I ended up going a little over 105mph when the limiter is suppose to stop at 100.
