love/hate
the LS is a gorgeous and comfortable car as long as you take care of it, no, spoil it,no, treat it the same you would your spouse or first born.yep thats it. I remember when I first brought my 02 home and pulling in. to a best buy to buy an ipod interface for it... someone asked if it was a rental... and later stated how nice of a car it was and that the silver with the chrome grille and rims looked sharp. I too had a "car love" feel to it. it saddens me to see this car to break all at once. my wife keeps asking why I keep putting money into it.... well, Although the car is designed by ford to self destruct at around 140k miles, it is MY lincoln and the time and effort I put into it is truly because of the joy driving it brought me.I remember the first time hearing the term "triptronic shift"...had no clue to what Iit was but it tripped the hell out of it.. or the first time I could have dumped a beta fish in my passenger door after it rained.. I was like" how the hell did all the rain manage to make it in MY car?!....it truly is a love/hate relationship... here she is, dented, beaten scratched, although the score is 10 to 3, me losing... those 3 wins have been worth it
