5 years ago I was in the market for a new car (well... "new" to me). I was looking at SHO's, but being on the taller side, VERY disappointed with the head room, especially since Taurus is supposed to be a mid-sized sedan. Sales guy told to go sit in a fusion, as the head room was actually a smidge better. He was right. Then as my research/shopping continued, I ran across AutoVlog & he test drove a Lincoln MKZ 3.0T AWD. I fell in love with the looks & performance, then found one near me with 29K miles for under $30K. Plus it didn't have a sunroof, which added some needed head room, and had the Driver's Package. 5 years later, I STILL love driving it! 400 HP & 400 torque. My wife says, "You drive differently since you got this car!" (aka FASTER, muhahahahahaha!)

Because you have to remove all of the outside seals to get to the seal that is leaking transmission fluid, it also means you lose PTU fluid.

I’m loving these SHO videos cause my 20 year old son owns a 2013 Lincoln MKS ecoboost (the same car but with more plush creature comforts). I did my due diligence when looking at it even took my ramps and crawled under the car in front of the seller. I’ve done the water pump on my 09 Lincoln MKZ 3.5L so no fear on dropping the cradle again. He’s about 115K on the ticker so I know we have about 30-40K left in the water pump. When that happens we’re going to do all these while you’re in there. The most interesting fact about this car, his insurance was cheaper with the Ecoboost than the NA 3.5, go figure.

I just bought a new Corvette, I have not beat on it, but I did once in the name of science, I tried out the launch control. I amazed myself, it ran a 2.8 0-60. It’s 3700 pounds, and 490 Hp.

One of your best videos yet! Seeing Papa D's expression when he realized that the car was his along with the best warranty in existence was some awesome stuff. Earlier in the video, I had a flashback from about 20 years ago when I broke a 12mm snap-on socket, taking out a 7.5 rear-end in a 1985 Mustang GT and replacing it with an 8.8. Coincidentally that Mustang is the same car that I was inspired to start working on again from watching your videos. I will be installing an upgraded clutch and pressure plate along with a rejetted Holley carburetor for better fuel economy in the primary yet more in the secondary for when I need a little more go for starters. I also have plans for a short throw shifter along with a 4 lug to 5 lug conversion and disc brakes added to the rear. Some 1.6 roller rocker arms are also in the works and an electric fan in place of the stock pulley driven fan. A work in progress that I am looking forward to. Thanks for all the great videos. You have given me some good ideas to work on from your previous builds and upgrades.

Who needs a warrantee? I am 56 and had 1 car for 2 years with a warrantee. I fix everything myself so a warrantee does not mean a lot. Sometimes it is easier to just fix something than to go through all the hassle of claiming a warrantee.

Why did you put Chad Kroger for It’s been a while.😂😂 that’s Aron Lewis 😂😂😂

[@jspaulding4106]

Kinda makes it funnier 😆😆

[@rickybobby5950]

So glad I got rid of my SHO before I got into the same money pit you did, Alex! I think the greatest service your channel does is show many of us cars we SHOULDN’T buy! 🤣 My 2005 E55 and 2001 E430 have both been rock solid reliable and I have driven both of them all over the country this year with little more than oil changes and tire balances!

40:12 I did a Pedal Commander on mine and it made a HUGE difference in the throttle response and Sport mode was absolutely insane with the 3 bar Livernois tune.

[@wreynolds275]

I remember ye olden days! So happy for you and your success, including being an awesome, nerdy, cool Dad!

[@icecremeSandcastles.]

Yes I remember the home garage days . Always knew you'd do well and you actually are a bloody good mechanic a dying trade I fear what with ev's on the rise and most new cars need fitters at best . At least that's where I see the UK headed. Love the vids Alex and greetings from Blackpool UK

[@defiant888]

Had a ‘89 SHO with a manual, and it’s the only car my got a speeding ticket in, that car was sooooo smooth.

[@briansolliday6166]

Bought a sho because of the burst video and absolutely love having g a four door sedan. The beretta was the dream of most of my school back in the day. You had a beretta you where top tier

[@totallybonkers]

Papa D is a lucky man. Getting a smooth riding 500hp sedan with a lifetime warranty for free. The SHO is a sweet vehicle. Congrats on the new ride Papa D. ❤

[@MartinD-r1f]

You’re a good man Alex. A rare thing indeed these days. Kudos to you. Been follow you since the very beginning and this is why

[@thatguyyarg]

lol at knuckle busting. I watch channels like yours to remind myself why I don’t want to work on my own cars any more. I’ve shredded my knuckles many times. Love your channel!

[@jayhuey1109]

You need to try out an Mercury Mountaineer 4.6 V8 AWD they come with around 275hp stock but the platform is rock solid add some boost and one of these would turn into a trackhawk earlier models have a 5.0v8 so possibly a new coyote swap would even be a nice upgrade or a eaton supercharger cause it could use another 100hp at least but it gets off the line fast with awd engaged and has 3rd row seating to take whole family with heated seats

[@SomebodysNephew]

Man, the day my business takes off to the point where I can afford to upgrade my car for fun will be the day. As a budget king you've inspired me to make the bracket that holds my cold air intake piping and the heat shield for it so i can atleast get cool intake noises since I have everything for it already just not a bracket or heat shield cutting master lol. Dremel shall be my friend. Thanks for the amazing content that has also been thoroughly educational on top of fun as well. You have way more fun working on cars than most other content creators I've seen. Thanks for the epic videos.

[@boerieza]

Dude your videos get me through my work-week. Seriously. Thank you for these videos. They are ridiculously entertaining.
