2013 Lincoln MKS

Well it's been a few years since we've purchased a new vehicle. We started getting the itch for a new car. Luckily our lease on the Escape was up, so we started looking at all our options. Jake found an awesome deal on a 2013 Lincoln MKS. It is fully loaded with so many crazy cool features like:
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Massaging front seats (yes, bum and back massage!)
  • Heated and cooled front seats
  • 3.5L Twin Turbo (more hp than the Mustang we owned!)
  • All wheel drive
  • Panoramic moon roof
  • 10 speakers
  • Heated mirrors
  • Keyless entry
  • Remote start (great for Michigan winters)
  • Electronic shocks
  • Swivel headlights
  • Rain sensing wipers
  • Automatic high beams (I love this!  It will turn them on when I'm on a dark road, turn them off when oncoming traffic comes, then turn them back on when they pass!)
QUESTION: Which President is the least guilty?

ANSWER: Abe Lincoln.  He's in-a-cent!   hahaha!!!

Jake installed a trailer hitch on the back of the Lincoln.

Jake bought a bike rack that goes in the trailer hitch so his bike doesn't scratch his new car.

Jake realized that this full-size car can tow a small payload.  Luckily our friends have a small trailer that fits his dirt bike perfectly.  It pulls it like a champ.  Jake took his bike up north to ride a few weekends ago.  He said that he pulled into the parking lot and all these red necks with their big rigs looked at him like he was crazy.  But he was the only one driving home with air conditioned massage seats!  haha!

Best money we spent in Michigan was for our remote starter! We still own the car and we still use it. I am super jealous of your heated steering wheel. I always dreamed of having one when we lived up north. :-)

Also, y'all have owned a lot of cars! We've owned three:

2000 Plymouth Neon*
2001 Chrysler T&C
2015 Toyota Sienna*

Maybe we should be more like you and spend our money at the dealership instead of at the shop...

New cars are fun! This one sounds super fun to drive, but a tow hitch? Really? Sorry, but we always mock sedans with a tow hitch. I guess if it's got the power, you might as well...
