Mine would click every time I turned on the AC, did it for years and I never could figure out where it was coming from. After it finally failed and was repaired, I never heard it again.

What was repaired and what "clicked". I had two subjects posted.

I wasn't at the mania events or any other in person events. I traded my 2000 V8 in on a 2006 Fusion back in 2005 which I'm about to trade in on 2013 Fusion.

I will never own another American car.
 
That is a bit of a pinhead statement to make. I said that back in 76 because of my Pinto about Ford. But in later years, Ford made some outstanding, revolutionary cars - the LS being one of the best. Was stupid to make that statement. I had a Datsun B-210 that was a miserable, hot, noisy rustbucket - swore off Japanese cars - things change, now have had several, still have a Lexus today.
 
Things change. I have very little faith in GM, but I don't say never.

Of course; I picked my handle with thought.
 
That said, since the LS is the only American car I've ever owned (my Eagle was built in Canada, to split hairs). I've owned nearly all foreign (is that word still OK?) cars over the years and am getting old enough that I'm not going to be buying many more cars of any kind. I buy and hold for 5-10+ years, and I don't see any American car today that I'd buy for myself or my wife, and don't see any on the horizon either. I occasionally point out to Allen that I'll be dead and gone before Lincoln builds another RWD car that can hold a candle to the LS, if they ever do.
 
It's sad that the only time I bought into the notion that an American car could compete with the Europeans, it ended up like this, but it did. They discontinued the manual transmission after 3 years, exactly when dozens (or more) improvements were made to solve teething problems. Then a few years later the whole experiment went down the glory hole.

There is a very strong rumor of a RWD coupe based on the mustang platform. I think it will take a couple of years if it is true but if it's executed as well as the MKC I think it will make the LS look like a Kia.

Are you guys able to close your air filter box all the way. I've never been able to get the bottom 3 teeth in slots.

#15500 of 15500 LLSOC - Cold Air Intake V8CAI 2000-2002 3.9 L by garthman

Anyone out there remember the V8 cold air intake system that Brian Gowning sold? Had it since 2003 and now the smog inspection stations are looking for a sticker that says it is approved. This system has no identification plate on it nor a sticker so, I'm now going to need one from the manufacturer to get past the smog b.s.
 
It's funny, after so many "passed" you would think the state would extend the testing for those who do.
