:yahoo: :woohoo: :wave: :woohoo: :yahoo:
So I was able to give her a bath and wash all that shipping grime off. I cringed when I had to use a drill to mount the front license plate bracket...but she didnt complain. Got a few mods in mind and I will have to wait till I get moved in my house before I start to purchase mods for her. Things I plan on adding; Front bug deflector, window guards, splash guards, backup camera and a front bullbar.

Ohh yea, here are a few pics of my baby dragon!

:kneel:

Here she is after getting her registered and out into the sun for a pic. Notice the clean frontend and lack of license plate

After a bath and found a spot to take a few more pics

I also thought about getting racing stripes painted on as well, maybe repainting the whole truck yellow with black stripes.....still debating on that

 

[mgkars]

Ok...stupid question here... :worry:

When I went to fuel up my Escape I noticed a Gas pump symbol on the fuel door that had a 91+ beneath it. Is this saying that I need to put higher octane fuel in?

I would look in the owners manual and verify fuel requirements. I'm gonna go out in a little while and take a look at mine. I don't recall seeing anything like that though.

Oh yeah. Tatsu looks great. Hope you get many years of enjoyment out of her.

Well I had already looked at the manual and of course it says 87 octane.....which was why I was confused when I saw the 91+ on the fuel door.

 

[Airmapper]

Looks great!

 

[jpark]

Looks great!

Doesn't Germany have requirements for amber rear signals and side repeater lamps?

I would be (and actually am) confused too. Not sure why that would be on the fuel door. US Escapes take regular unleaded. Is it possible they require a higher grade gas in Europe for one reason or another (like emissions)? I dunno... Just guessing here... :shrug:

 

[US MARINER 1]

WOW! it looks hot.

 

[KCCO_773]

Niiiiccccccceeeee..... What Kaserne is that? Kinda looks familiar.

Well the inspectors did not say anything about that when I registered my Escape so Im not entirely sure.

sweeeeet Rims, nice rigs

I love them! Those are factory rims too! Sports Appearance package for ya :thumb:

My Escape was built in America and shipped to Germany, Ill take a picture of the decal for you all.

The first picture was taken in the Mainz Kastel(hope I spelled it correctly) Vehicle depot and the last two were taken near the Waaf airfield.

 

[Onefastbike]

Congrats on the new ride.

Enjoy it and use it in good health!

 

[Katscan]

Here is the decal I am reffering to. Does the new 2.5 I-4 require higher octane fuel?

Now that's a fine looking machine you have there.
