brucelinc Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I placed an order for a Continental in October and it was delivered yesterday. The streets are still messy here due to the recent snow and I got the car dirty on my test drive. I will take better pics when I get it cleaned up. Reserve series, 3.0 engine, tech package, Climate package, Revel, 30 way active motion seats. Ruby red/cappuccino. A younger guy was walking by as I snapped this pic and he said, "Those wheels are BAD ASS!" We will be taking a 600 mile round trip over the weekend so I should be able to decide if I actually like this car or not. So far, so good. All I have done so far is adjust all of the various seat, homelink and sync 3 settings to suit me and read the owners manual. First driving impressions are positive. The car is actually quicker than I recalled from earlier test drives. It is a quiet cruiser and very comfortable. A more thorough review will follow next week. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transitman Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nice, I sure hope you like it, it's a little late if you don't. Is that Apple Valley Ford/Lincoln in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nice, I sure hope you like it, it's a little late if you don't. Is that Apple Valley Ford/Lincoln in the background? North Country Ford/Lincoln in Coon Rapids. This is the 4th vehicle I have bought from them. Yep, too late to turn back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucelinc Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 Slogging through freezing rain, drizzle, snow and road salt is not exactly how I had hoped to break in my Conti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2b2 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Do you name your vehicles, Brucelinc? (or do your vehicles tell you their names, Brucelinc? ) Edited December 25, 2016 by 2b2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Slogging through freezing rain, drizzle, snow and road salt is not exactly how I had hoped to break in my Conti. That happened to me when I brought home my Raptor. It would have been nice to have it clean for more than 5 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Do you name your vehicles, Brucelinc? (or do your vehicles tell you their names, Brucelinc? ) LOL....guilty. I do name my cars. I have had Bubba, Midnight, Silver, Rocket and Bullet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I name mine after spacecraft or space programs. I traded in Virgin Galactic the very week the real one crashed and the current Mustang is Constellation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
