i was running late for work this morning, i drove the lincoln so fast that the wind pushed the grille out of place.....i noticed this morning when i got to work..........the speedo had stopped for quite some time, when i slowed down for my exit, 80 mph felt like i was cruising lol....just thought i'd pass this on to you guys.......your grille might move at high speeds hehe
