About “#Babys Ride”
The wife and I bought the car as transportation for our daughter. Hince the name "Babys Ride".
The Lincoln LS was designed by Jaguar. It shares the same platform with the Jaguar S-Type. The S-Type did get the larger 4.0 supercharge v8. Unfortunately, it is impossible to swap the S-Type motor into the LS. Jaguar designed the LS electronics to make it impossible.
In the last year, I have landed 7 sponsors for the car:
Dunlop tires
Street FX Colorstorm LED underbody light kits
Gina window tint
Power Stop brakes
Stoner Detailing Products
RAZZI Ground Effects
Extreme Deminsions
I won my class('95-Present Hardtop Conservative) in World of Wheels St Louis '06. I took second in NOPI St Louis '06 and took first NOPI St Louis '07. Win "Best of Show" at Ball4Real St Louis '07.

About “LHS”
I looked high and low before deciding on the LHS as the perfect car for me. I test drove practically everything under the sun, from tricked out Subarus to Cadillacs, and nothing else compared. The Chrysler LHS has it all; style, power, handling (yes, it's impressive even on a car this size), reliability, luxury, and comfort. The factory Infinity stereo comes with component speakers and 360 watts. I've improved on that so far with an upgrade to Infinity 6010CS speakers and I'm about to install an Infinity Perfect 10 subwoofer with an Audiobahn 1800E amp. I've looked at aftermarket wheels, but I simply haven't found anything I like as much as the stock chrome Razorstar rims. I regularly receive compliments on gthe wheel, as well as the Sikkens paint in dark garnet red pearlcoat.
Yes, I know there's a fish-eye in the paint. That's since been dealt with, but this picture does show the richness of the paint.
The cold air intake is meant for perfomance, not looks. It's wrapped in heat reflective insulation.
This pic is just for kicks. The trunk on this car is enormous, I call it a 4 Hoffa trunk. I fit all this oak firewood into the trunk then averaged 80-90+ mph for over 200 miles and the car felt stable and strong the whole trip.
