Thank you to the OP for these photos. I appreciate your effort. I ride a street touring bike and do want to carry it in the back. I prefer to remove the front wheel, left pedal, saddle/seat post plus twist the handlebars/stem 90 degrees. I shove the bike in my existing cars with the rear wheel...

"Why would you have a bicycle if you already have a car? Bikes are for people too young or too poor to own a car." To the writer of the above comment - you are a dope. - ranchero -

I know the New York person on this site will belittle my suggestion and the fine state that will accept your registration but so what? Do some work. Your answer (for easy registration, lower sales tax obligation, and a title you may keep for a year or as long as you elect) is South Dakota. I...

Not me; I prefer Ford and have for decades. However it did substantially affect my wife - who makes her own decisions regarding cars. She specifically wanted a Ford - because of the bailout and an active, visceral hatred of O'Bama. She bought a new Explorer last summer.

I prefer "Guard" over "Ingot Silver". However for the exact reason the OP cites, I ordered the latter. I've had black cars and still have a "Highland Green Metallic" '08 Bullitt. In my life I have simply gotten tired of dust on clean cars and now generally want the color that is most compatible...

Three issues on which I wish to comment: 1) The time to clear a personal check seems correct; I would not question the dealership position on this issue. 2) However note no mention has been made of the MSO for the car. A dealer that had just a modicum of customer experience with a buyer...

Thanks for your comments regarding the wait I've had. My dealer makes its money from the sale of F series trucks; Mustangs are not too important so the allocation may be an issue. I'm going there Saturday and complain a bit. They've been good on other cars I've ordered in the past but yes...

I am tired of waiting but don't object to the "COTUS" site. I am at nine weeks after order for a coupe and still do not even have a VIN. I am starting to lose interest in the Mustang; the thrill is gone. I have ordered two Mercedes coupes (in 2000 and 2004) for delivery across the Atlantic...

Electric steering. Ford electric steering. I do not have my (ordered) '15 Mustang yet but I know what you are talking about. I have this situation on my '12 Focus with electric steering. I notice this issue at high speeds on straight freeways with no traffic - like out west where I live...

I have a coupe coming; I am planning to put my bike inside the car through the trunk (carefully) with the rear seat down. I will have to remove: front wheel; saddle/seat post; pedals. I will have to loosen & twist handlebars/stem 90 degrees or possibly pull the bars & stem out entirely. This is...

When I joined the EAA, back in 2007, one had to have been a member for at least six months until the member could get an Ford purchase X-plan PIN. I don't know if that minimum membership term still applies. I have used my EAA membership for X-plan PINs multiple times and this year it will be...

"To my guesstimation that means some Mustangs are as high as 80% from North America, some under 50%" Gee, I don't care at all where the parts originated. I want a great car - like the Fusion (most of which are assembled in Mexico) or the Focus (that was designed in Germany). I'm willing to...

I'd like to know from Ecobeast four drivers the following: 1) When cruising on the interstate at about 80mph, what rpm is the engine turning on the manual (probably same with the automatic)? My interstate driving is in states with 75 or 80 mph speed limits so when my I-4 is delivered I will...

"California where every little thing is scrutinized." Your government at work protecting and serving you. - ranchero -

I am not qualified to comment on paint or repair procedures. But I do want to comment on the dealership involved here. Delivery of the car to the customer in that condition is unacceptable. The car may have been damaged in shipping (if so how did the person prepping the car miss the damage?)...

Your government working to protect you. Suggestion: look into titling and registering car in South Dakota. Don't know if your government's police departments will ignore or be intrigued by South Dakota license plates (two - one on each end) and that is for you to decide. However many South...

Thanks for the replies. I am going in for an Explorer oil change; will see if I can get any info a VIN that has not yet been posted to my order tracking on "cotus". - ranchero -

I am sure this topic has been addressed by someone in the past but I have not found it and do not know the answer. Is there any period of time to normally expect between order date and assignment by Ford (as indicated on "cotus" system) of a VIN number? My order date was 7 November and I...

"Ranchero I busted that myth." Good work. You are to be commended. - ranchero -

Yes to HUD. I delivered a friend's Corvette from Wyoming to south of Tucson and found the (then new to me) HUD excellent and useful. Had it been available on the 2015 Mustang I now have ordered, I would have opted for it. To me, the HUD is of most use on highways and interstates at speed...
