What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[GMONSTAH]

Costco and Sams club is only place I fill my ecobost up, its literally like 80-90c cheaper than any other gas station for 93 fuel. 87 is like 5-10cents cheaper. not as much savings, but I wouldn't of tuned my Ecoboost without Sams club 5 mins down road honestly.

Yup, it’s almost unbelievable, and it actually justifies the membership fee. My only complaint is they don’t have paper towel dispensers by the pumps like QT, but those savings gotta come from somewhere I suppose...

Keep meaning to post a few things, so I'll just drop them all at once. Did these over the past few months!

1) I covered the rear deck child-seat anchor plates with carpet, to stop them reflecting on the rear windscreen:

It's not as noticeable in this photo as it really was, but it was annoying to have the top portion of my rearview cut off by these little guys.

The plates are really easy to pop out, but a little trickier to re-install. I bought the carpet (similar to that used on Sub boxes, etc), and applied it to the plate using spray adhesive. I still have plenty of the carpet left, if anyone wants to give it a go.

After re-install, the color just wasn't dark enough, despite looking like it would be when it arrived! Easily remedied with a thick Sharpie.

Sun will likely even it out eventually, but it's holding steady so far.

No more glare! Apart from the wing, I get my whole rearview back. Woohoo!

2) Made a custom Kydex magnetic phone mount for the radio faceplate.

My old sticky magnet mount worked okay, but the ever-changing weather down here in southeast VA led to hot days loosing the adhesive, and cold days firming up the tape, and I was over it.

So, I disassembled the mount, tossed the ball-clamp, and cut a piece of kydex to start forming. I've had a Recaro bezel waiting to go in, so I used that to form a perfect fit. Did a bunch of trimming, sanding, and used the heatgun to do some last-minute adjustments.

Easily the sturdiest phone mount I've ever had! Held in only by friction.

Had to borrow the wife's phone to take a pic, but couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Dog tax. =)

Sorry, too late. Costco is Top Tier gas and has been tested at full octane at stations across the nation. Their gas is also the freshest as they turn over their tanks faster than anyone else out there.
OK, I’m done now.

okay so note to self, I guess Costco is one of the ’good’ 93’s. I have a membership, I guess I just thought they had cheap gas due to cheap additives when really it’s just cheap because they make up for it with membership fees and the fact that they sell just about everything and they’re expecting the customer to do ALL of their shopping there.

you buy a 12-roll inside, and then put a roll in your back seat. that's all it's useful for anyway. My F150 runs on '93 tune so yeah I'm totally going to go to Costco. Membership pays for itself in 2 or 3 months in just gas purchase.

okay will do. Didn’t mean to ruffle feathers.

I am curious though as to why you see many dyno pulls pulling timing, then finding out they filled up at XYZ, then they add some type of octane booster and things magically get back to normal/where it should be. ??

Because they added octane booster.

Sams isn’t top tier but it’s good enough for me. Never had an issue

just ordered mishi rad.... it’s lifetime warranty, so meh. Even if I have to change one day. No big deal.

In high school one of my friends would play Dust in the Wind behind me on a classical guitar as I walked through the hallways. It was my traveling music. No one ever bothered us or asked if we were where we were supposed to be. The staff would close their eyes for a moment, and then the moment would be gone. We would pass before their eyes, a curiosity.
