Well, it's installed. Took about 10 minutes, was letting it update while I cleaned the car out from a cross country road trip. Patch notes just say "continuous software improvement"

3.4 is the much newer Sync for the newer APIMs, like going from windows 10 to windows 11. Ford won't officially let you upgrade the 15-17 cars to 3.4 because they say the APIM won't support it.

To my surprise Ford is telling me I have a new update ready for my 16 GT which is currently on 3.0.20204. 20204 was pushed in late 2020 and is the last update talked about in the Sync 3.0 master thread...

You'll see plenty of em trust me, here is a shot of a friends car from a few years ago, you can see all the tbirds in the background I'm normally over in the Marauder section

No time limit, many years ago before I spent the night out there I'd roll in around 11:30. FYI the discount on "gate n go", the showfield reg, ends in 2 days. Saves you about 7 dollars I believe. The supercoupe guys have a big turnout ever year, I know someone in that group.

Go walk the truck section and see all the bone stock 6G broncos and bone stock 5th and 6th gen Explorers you'll feel much better My car looked totally stock on the outside, plenty of others will as well. The Ranger I'm parked next to here was a friends lease

Honestly if you're bringing the Mustang just get a showfield pass and you won't have to worry about finding spectator parking. Its the easiest way to "find parking", just park on the showfield. I brought my Mustang a couple years (during the pandemic days), I just parked in the S550 stock class...

Are you going just as a spectator? I have never parked outside the show field but there are options all over including people letting you park on their front lawns for 10 bucks or so. If you're thinking of getting a hotel you better start looking like... right now, I'm willing to bet at least...

Well, BMW must realize how much sound adds to the overall experience since they've been piping in fake engine noise and adding exhaust crackles when in sport mode for years now.

Historically the police have always showed up when the meetups got HUGE and they'd clear people out. But that has been the case for years and years. AFAIK that is usually the night time meets as well, the Sunday day time meet I went to with my friend Yuichi was an older crowd. Never had any...

I don't know what the car scene is like down in Hiroshima as I never made it down that far, but plenty of Mustangs to be found up in Tokyo & Kanagawa. A friend of mine over there has owned a 03 cobra for well over a decade now, it replaced his JDM 97 cobra that got totaled. These are all back...

That is exactly what we did, I think her complementary maintenance was 4 years (they scaled it back for the 2016MY and have since reduced it more, brakes used to be part of complementary maintenance). At the time I had a friend working at the dealer so every 5000 miles it'd be serviced by the...

The B58 didn't get the nickname "God's engine" because it totally sucks. Just keep on top of routine maintenance and strong chances are it'll be totally fine. I'm not talking about doing 10-15k OCI's and nothing else either. My mother has a 2015 X5 (with the N55 which according to /r/bmw...

Just the sound? Not the God awful styling? Unless you're thinking of picking up an original M2 not the current one.

Oh trust me that part I at least know, nylock doesn't do much if the threads aren't in it. I actually just heard back from the owner of Cortex Filip who confirmed everything said here, so I followed up asking why the stud/nut combo I was sent is apparently short and not reaching the nylock...
