So, I don't have a lot planned for this ride yet, but, in the spirit of trying to get more involved in this forum/community again....I will X-Post my purchase post from another forum then build on that.
the base to start building on this time is a 2011 Ford Taurus (not granny's ol Ford Taurus--that's fo sure.)
It is the "Limited" model--which is one step "down" from there twin Turbo SHO Model.
I got the 3.5L V6 engine with front wheel drive tied up to a 6 speed transmission with the optional manual Paddle shifters.
3.5-liter V6
263 horsepower @ 6250 rpm
249 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/28 FWD (Edit: I've found I can eek out 19-20 MPG in town with careful driving)
And more gadgets and toys inside than I know what to do with--but I think I will get used to Microsoft Sync software if I can just remind myself to use it.
(*Edit on the Sync Software: it plays VERY NICELY with my New Note 5. )
Here are some pictures right after I bought it.

I will try to get some pics of the Power installation, (wires, Dist Blocks, etc) and also what I have done so far to get my old Image Dynamics Servo Subwoofer system hooked up.
