    5:52 I learned a tip from Roadkill Garage. Before you remove a hood, take a Sharpie and draw around plates on each side where the bolts attach. When reattaching the hood, simply realign the Sharpie circle to the bolt plates, and your hood should be aligned, avoiding the trial and error fittings.

    I had a '10, '14, and '16. The earlier models were beasts and I loved them. The 6.2 was always evident and powerful. The '14 was my favorite. It was a Premium with body colored trim instead of chrome and dual exhausts. Almost sporty. The '16 was great. All high tech and all, but so quiet and subdued. Capable and comfortable, just not as much fun.

    There is a lady that works a few shops down who would love to own an Escalade. I just recently detailed and polished out her 2011 Ford Escape, and after I got the black mold out that had accumulated in the rear carpets (where her child sits) she confided in me that it is her dream to own an Escalade. She was very sweet and actually took an interest in me for some odd reason, so I have been making sure her Escape looks as close to a "nice" Escape as you can get one to look since it will NEVER be an Escalade.
