  1. To Those With Infants

    My little one is three now, and my wife is around 5'9"-5'10". Back seat is fine sometimes, but I agree with Litfury, I wouldn't want to do it every day. To get my 3 year old in and out and for my wife to sit comfortably, we have to move the seat pretty far forward and back every time they...
  2. I don't want my car doors to auto-lock at >15mph

    It's like vaccinations or computer updates or any other advancement to modern society. Some people don't want things forced on them regardless if it's in their best interest. As long as a bad decision is only affecting the person making it, I'm more than happy to let them do 70 MPH on a...
  3. With all the mod happy people around here I was wondering.

    @OP I'm completely stock besides tint, so I'm in that boat. I have plenty of money to spend on mods, but like GTP said, I'm not going to get mods that could void the warranty. To me, that's just throwing away money if something did happen. And I didn't get an exhaust because my neighbors...
  4. "GT's" Magnetic PP GT Surprise Delivery!!!

    So you drug up an old thread to say that a year ago you only had a Mustang for a week? Looks more like a plug to get more people to your YouTube channel... but hey, whatever works eh? :D
  5. Former 335i owners, how do you like your cars?

    Unfortunately using a 2010 GT as a comparison to a 2015+ GT is apples and oranges. Better engine, more power, significantly better interior, suspension, everything. I had a 2012 GT and the 2015+ is leaps and bounds above that. Can't comment on the 335i though, but all these reliability...
  6. Automatic Transmission "Flat Spot"

    I've noticed this too, but when it's annoying me and I want it to stiffen up, move it into Sport or Sport+. It feels a lot more aggressive and the delay is gone. Sometimes I shift back and forth pretty often as I hit different areas of town that drive differently.
  7. Gas prices double overnight...

    For the most part... 30$+ is very attainable in a "normal" cost of living area with proper education and/or training. I make a good amount more than that with a bachelors degree. Along those lines, if gas doubled I wouldn't really care. What is more likely to make me trade this car in is...
  8. Shady dealer?

    To be fair, just using x plan eliminates most of these steps. If you want to haggle for another few hundred you can, but that's not worth it to me. I hate dealers and try to make it as simple as possible.
  9. Good MPG in a GT

    That is really a moot point... This thread is about excellent highway MPG in a GT. Not everyone has a mostly highway commute, so lifetime and highway MPG are irrelevant to the point at hand. I took a 2 hour trip on Tuesday and averaged 27-28 MPG between 70-75 MPH in an Auto GT, stock...
  10. Shady dealer?

    Same thing happened to me. I was approved through USAA at 2.89 I think, and the dealer offered me 2.6 through another local bank. Better deal is fine with me.... Long story short, most dealerships will do whatever they can to move the car immediately. Any that pulled that kind of thing on...
  11. Auto Transmission metal clanking sound

    From what I've heard, it's pretty common in the manual but I haven't heard people saying this about the auto. FWIW, mine is an auto and drives smooth. I've never had a single "clanking".
  12. Shop screwed up my seat...

    After it happened my car sat in an air conditioned garage most of the weekend, but after sitting out yesterday in the hot sun all day, it's almost completely back to normal. There's still a slight indention but I have a feeling that's going to work out in another day. The shop already told me...
  13. Shop screwed up my seat...

    I agree, and I originally intended to take it out myself. I had my two year old with me and he was yelping because he wanted to go play, so I was a bit distracted. When I handed the guy the keys and my wife was ready to pick me up, I was mostly thinking of getting the kid back home without him...
  14. Shop screwed up my seat...

    Should I do anything after that? Just slowly heat it with vinyl and it should return somewhat to normal?
  15. Shop screwed up my seat...

    Something like that. IIRC they are "leather trimmed" and the middle sections are vinyl material. They definitely don't feel like the leather on my old Audi. I could have hauled 100 pounds in the front seat without any blemishes in that car. That's what it looks like. Probably leaned on it...
  16. Shop screwed up my seat...

    So I finally decided it was time to get my windows tinted after putting it off for a while. I took it in on Friday with a car seat in the rear. I didn't think much of it, and just assumed they would be smart enough to remove the seat properly. I was wrong. I have a pretty thick bath towel...
  17. You know you drive a Mustang when...

    When it takes ten minutes to get a beer from your garage because you have to check out the curves on your S550. Happens to me alllll the time.
  18. Unexpected positive from owning an Ecoboost

    I've noticed an inverse relationship between truck height and intelligence. I understand some diesels are fast, but for every one that is, there is another 500 that just want to blow black smoke everywhere. At least around here, anyway.
  19. Unexpected positive from owning an Ecoboost

    I've had a few people try to race me in my GT... of course most of them were dumb rednecks in lifted diesel trucks.
  20. Fuel Economy and Driving Modes

    Purely conjecture, but I would assume given the same rate of acceleration and similar shift patterns that the difference becomes negligible--especially in the EB. I would think the Auto GT would see the biggest difference, and between normal driving in normal mode, and aggressive driving in...
