What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[samd1351]

Welp, ZL1 Addons tow hook installation. Weekend went from Plan A to Plan F in a hurry. But finally got a chance to make an attempt to install the tow hook.

The car is in desperate need of a wash, I know. Full write up, with pics, coming tomorrow.

It depends upon how much he likes or does not like his neighbors...

I live in a very quiet neighborhood. The axle back alone is going to get me some dirty looks

Nah, my neighborhood is like that too, but since I don't do cold starts in the early morning, nobody is bothered at all

My neighbors haven't said anything yet. I try not to cold start too early if I can help it

They're all good people, for the most part, so I doubt it will be an issue.
I leave at 7:30am which isn't that bad,. Most people are up by then I would think
Still, I dont want to push my luck

I parked next to a genuine only 1 out of 50 in the world(!) McLaren something, but it's 'NOT a P1', says the license plate.

Put 14 gallons of 93 and 2 of E85 into the tank and then proceeded to burn it all off.

Drove in a SW direction from Plains VA on curvy 2-lane, went across the ridge on US33 and then back up US340 to Luray where the real fun started. Route 675 north out of Luray, over the mountain and then follow the valley on 678 to 55. Since it was late in the day (6pm) I had the road mostly to myself. My previous foray on that road was mid-morning and southbound some months ago and I was 'forced' to pass dawdling motorcycle riders on the double. It's not a road to drive fast on but there is a natural rhythm and those Hardley's riders didn't know how to corner worth a damn.

Resonator delete next?

We call that the full circle

Some don't same as the jap riders, leaning opposite of the curve. Afraid to get into it, the other half of the fun (most).

Saturday was the 1st annual National California Special Mustang Day. I spent the day with my friends from the CSWMC at the Mustang Owners Museum. Great day, & great people. For those familiar with the MOM, they have survived Covid and are doing well. Owners Mischelle & Steve Hall hosted the event and did a great job. If you have a moment, please look them up as they need our support. https://www.mustangownersmuseum.com/

6R80 trans fluid/filter. Messy job, so I thought goto dealer ... $677 (cdn) 2 hours they said at $177/hr plus materials and taxes. Local transmission shop 50min, and $235 all-in.
Nice to find an honest shop, and $95 and hour is pricy enough, but seriously $177?!! at a Ford dealership. ow

Our co just picked up a used Mercedes and the salesman was saying their rates here in Toronto are $200/hr. Insane.

120-130$ is a typical dealership rate in Ontario BMW/Infiniti/Ford. Even Indy shops are $100+.
