Yeah, I am ok. Found out my airbags don't work though. Pretty sure I hit hard enough to make them work.

Definitely getting another Expedition. Considered a GM, but the seats don't fold down to a flat floor, and that is a deal breaker since I do use mine to haul stuff.

I don't have the room or the time to mess with it. If I did I probably could get back on the road.

Got an 06 Eddie Bauer edition. I can't believe how much the price of these things has dropped in 3 years.

wow. three dollar gas in the north. Today i paid 2.39 and that was up 19 cents from wed this week. As far as the president effecting gas prices, don't believe it. most of the movement if influenced by future traders in the commodities market. As far as my expedition i bought it used when gas hit 4.35 here. I am prepared to drive it until gas hits 7.50 a gallon. I switched from a gas miser that was rear-ended on the hwy by an 18 wheeler. 5 cars were totaled and i am the lucky one. One guy is still learning to walk again. So wrap my butt in some Detroit metal and let the tin cars buzz around with their cute little fart tubes. I am the one who will make it home alive since i drive it every day now.

I bought mine near the height of fuel prices, so I knew what to expect. Traded in an Explorer for it so I could tow my father's boat, and my mpg's aren't any worse than 0.5 mpg difference. Average just under 15, and get around 18 on the highway. Can't see getting rid of it as I need it to haul the family and the boat, and I can't afford a third vehicle to keep fuel prices down. Just sucking it up and rolling with the ebb and flow of the prices at the pump.

We keep ours in the garage. We take it out once a week for a 30-40 mile drive. We bought it for my 6yr old boy. We need to haul his toys around this coming summer. 14mpg, I don't this to be used as a grocery getter. We have minivan for that.

Nope. I drive it everyday. Lucky I don't live far from work and can stretch out a tank to about 10 days. BTW, it's not Bush's fault, it's the Democratic led Congress that will not let us drill for our own oil in our own Country. Did you know that China & Cuba are drilling for oil 50 miles off the cost of Cuba, which is just off Key West, yet we can't???:shootout:

not sure if BC Champion is still a user, but I wonder if he'd care to revise this statement, now that we allowed BP to do just that, off shore drilling.........As a result we now have, one of the worst ecological disasters in our lifetime, a slew of fisherman will be soon flat broke, money generated from tourism for the coastal states gone, an unchecked BP that was allowed to drill but at the same time had zero plans to address potential disaster like we're experiencing now, and not to mention the unknown long term effects of this nightmare to our earth......Democratics AND Republican have to share the blame for letting those greedy bastards operative with no impunity for DECADES (both dems and reps have held the oval office during this time).

Mine is a daily driver even though it cost more than my car..........I'd rather pay a little more in gas than to run up a bunch of miles on my baby, plus it just makes you tighten up your disposable cash...Think about money you just piss away daily because you can.........I'm about to hit 370k in about another week, on my way to 400k!!!!!!!!
