What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Stage_3]

I started on my 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Car was black and looked wet.

I miss those cars. Pretty bad ass.

Mine was gone way too early. I got rear ended in 2004 at 50mph while stopped on highway. I was behind an accident and managed to stop and avoid it but knuckle head behind me wasn’t paying attention. Hit me square in trunk and pushed me against divider and into car in fro of me.

Wow! What the hell is that on the front right, the hood?

Front bumper was ripped off so police threw it on hood to get off road. Had my foot on brake and was getting ready to pull around accident. I looked in rear view and this guy was barreling down on me. No time to do anything but brace and hold for impact. I had a car’s length between me and car in front. He hit so hard it drove GTP nose down and under rear bunt of car in front. Airbag didn’t even go off. Luckily I walked away but dipstick was taken away in ambulance.

Productive evening after work. Had a bit of energy so used it well. Learned last week cabin filters should be changed yearly. Haven’t changed mine yet and have had the car 2.5 years so it was due. Had a K&N air filter in it since near new and wanted to change to AFE and as you can see, it was time or maybe passed time for that as well. Also finally got a torque wrench and checked my lug nuts. None of them moved so I apparently I tighten them plenty. And then washed the week of daily driving off. Got a decent shot with the last bit of sun kissing that beautiful Ruby Red.

They have reusable cabin filters as well .mustang looks great by the way!

I mean. I usually swap out the cleanable filters too instead of cleaning them. But the dry one this time might meet my air compressor, who knows. Hopefully before it needs cleaning I’ll be throwing on the power pack kit from Ford Performance anyway. Link to reusable cabin filter? Thank you! I love the color in the sun!

Switched out the crap stock lugs for some Gorilla lugs. Much better.

Nope think the Ford lug is a much classier piece. Like the peek in the crown, and the definition of the lug points. Those gorillas are just plane & lack styling .

We have a yearly property tax on cars here in SC as well. My 19' GT/CS is $324 for 2022. My wife's new Volvo is $563. Even when added to my homes property tax I'm still paying 1/10 of what I paid in NJ. In addition sales tax on cars is capped at $500.

Wait, what?!? Annual “property tax” on cars? How is that justifiable? Does the tax go down as the car depreciates? What if you keep the car for 10-20 years - you’d be paying more in “car taxes” than what the car was worth. Explain more please…. I’ve never heard of that, so I’m intrigued to know more.

Here you go...also you can order them at O'Reilly auto parts https://www.americanmuscle.com/k-n-cabin-air-filter-1518.html?utm_content=Intake - Replacement Filter|K&N&T5_Var4=405188&utm_source=google-pla&utm_medium=shopping&T5_Var2=shopping&utm_campaign=AMM+Mustang+Vehicle+Medium+RLSA&T5_Var3=blue&intl=0&dialogtech=ppc&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvaeJBhCvARIsABgTDM5XA0DMofixLaf15wjWjts0wLglc2r9xccTDUt1ibZWctfUT7I_PaAaAgNLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Sucks that happened. However, I can't help but wonder if that red toolbox has the "ultimate set of tools".

justifiable? RU kidding me? You pay annual property tax on your house, and the tax amount (if not rates) goes up every year or so does it not? Cars are durable consumer goods and thus property. And what gov't ever said No to the opportunity to abrogate to itself YOUR wealth at every contrived opportunity?

Yes the assessed value of the car goes down every year. FFX county "generously" reduced my faxes by about a third on my 2020 F150 so the bill is only $1300 instead of $1700. The bill for the Camaro for 6mo worth of ownership was only $400. And the Mustang would normally be 1200/yr but they were feeling magnanimous this year and it's only $800. I've got the stack of bills literally sitting beside me.

Note the 'local registration fee' is a total fraud. It has nothing to do with my car being registered with the State-level DMV or paying for plates. Some quick napkin math shows the county is assessing 4.5% annually.
