Traffic was opening up on my way to the office this morning and I accidentally shifted into 6th instead of 4th. It didn't lug too bad and I was at around 1k rpm by the time I looked down at the tach, but it got me wondering. I'm really not too worried about lugging, just kind of curious...

Scheduled to bring my car in this Saturday for one last round of free service covered under warranty before my car hits 36k miles. Already have them looking at the A/C (which seems busted again, compressor has already been replaced) and the window switch rattle in the driver's-side door (which...

What do you do with your Mustang that you would never openly admit to? (i.e. something you'd never freely tell another car enthusiast, especially in person) It's okay, this is a safe place. I'll go first. During the summer, I'll take my car through gas station car washes... Two reasons...

Living in Florida has MANY benefits for someone that grew up in Pittsburgh, but one big downside about living here is the driving experience. Aside from awful FL drivers (don't get me started), the flat and straight roads are starting to wear on me. As it is, I can only really have fun in my car...

Tired of my wheel-gap, looking to get a set of SR lowering springs from AM. Would love to do the install myself if at all possible. I've done plenty of work on my own cars in the past (carb rebuilds, clutch hydraulics, exhausts, etc.) and I have a garage full of tools, just need to buy a...

Went to back out of my driveway this morning and instead of the feed from the rear-view camera showing up on the screen, it flickered for a second and went blank. After about 10 seconds, a message came up that said "Camera unavailable. Please talk to your dealer" Looks like I'll be calling...

Leaving the gym this morning, turned my car on and a "Service AdvanceTrac" message came up on the gauge cluster screen and the Stability Control light was lit up (it's like the Trac Off light but without the word "off). Car has 26k miles and the only mod is the exhaust. Obviously, this...

About 2 weeks ago, my engine started making a slight whining noise. It usually starts a minute or two after startup and is present during idle. It's loud enough to hear from inside the car with the windows up and seems to increase in intensity (not "loudness" necessarily) with engine revs. I...

I was thinking about how much I mostly despise any chrome on a car and it got me itching to replace the stock emblems on my car. Does anyone make replacement badges in brush aluminum? I did a quick search and all I could find were black emblems (AM and CJPP). While those look great, I...

I was thinking about this the other day. I live in a pretty large apartment complex but as far as I can tell, only one other person drives an S550. A woman many buildings away from mine has a DIB EcoBoost w/ Performance Pack, which makes me the only one with a GT. I kind of wish I had a...

I live in an apartment complex with way too many speedbumps. Living all the way in the back, I have to drive over at least 6 of them every time I leave or come home. I am starting to wonder if this will prematurely wear out my shocks. Some details: I've found that driving over them at...

I just got a letter from Ford saying there is a map update available for my car and it costs $149. I find the price pretty laughable and would never consider it after only owning the car for just over a year, but would consider it in the future if it actually has some tangible benefits. As of...

Don't know if anyone has heard about this yet. American Muscle is giving away a 2017 Ford Raptor and an "850+hp" Mustang along with some other goodies. Here's what you get: Mustang Whipple supercharged 5.0, 725+ RWHP Built for street/track RTR Tech 7 wheels, drag wheel/tire package...

Back in January I installed Flowmaster Outlaw axle-back mufflers on my car. I was looking for something in my storage closet today and realized my stock mufflers were just taking up space and I want to get rid of them. Am I able to sell them? Would anybody have a reason to buy them? Or are...

Did anyone else have to replace their stock windshield wipers sooner than normal? Mine were dry-rotted and nearly useless after less than 5 months so I stopped into Advance to get a new pair. When I looked up the sizes they only had two brands available so I went with the Valeo's, the more...
