(okay a little more reminiscing over these ladies he he)

Facelift was partially for crash regulations (pedestrian struck), esp in Europe. The '18 refresh was also a pretty significant one considering there were upgrades & updates across the board; engine, trans, suspension, and a few new toys. And that leads into the strategy of keeping the product...

These cars push 40-50 grand easy.... the service treatment is absolute garbage considering. Now Ford has people cross shopping luxury cars that offer a far better ownership experience with warranty work, such as myself. They can't push upmarket like this and expect to treat them like crap

Yeah i was the most forgiving and easy person to work with and got walked on up and down. Y'all wonder why people come in pissed off its because we get taken advantage of regularly, throughout the sales price and then again any time for service. Ford Service is garbage. We can say so brands have...

The car broke down 110 miles from home, and instead of towing it that distance I just brought it to a nearby ford dealer. I initially thought it was warranty, i didnt realize a rock from a month ago would have done that Thats why I didnt make a fuss of it. And even with the most recent dealer...

probably depends on dealer allocation as well, I would imagine. October is a long ways out though!

oh yea, this happened driving to autozone tonight, the lower bumper panel that attaches to the grille they replaced popped out and dragged all over the pavement! Literally nothing they had the car for the second month was fixed, not even the grille! Happened tonight, prompting me to share my my...

4 dealership visits for repair or warranty work, on 3 brand new fords. Very telling experiences: 1) '12 Focus (new gen), Warranty trim and panel issues, entertained every little thing I requested although some of the trim replaced still had big gaps lol. I laughed and just said screwit they...

Worked for a mechanic that always did so in the air. He was super picky and I never saw ppl doing it otherwise unless it was sloppy. Def take your word for it if hasn't been an issue that many times. I never use an impact it's once in a while so it's by hand. & i don't need to check the manual...

Im a car nerd I dont care haha offend away How do you tighten the front wheels? Please dont tell me you put it on the ground first haha

To the OP: I did light mechanic work for a few years and managed to mess things up here and there. I have been 'modding' cars since I was a teenager and I love it. Here are some insights: - Invest in a nice pair of Mechainx gloves that are tight/form fitting and have all the rubber padding...

koons is solid to compare prices too, big high volume dealer brand. They always post steep ass 'Koons' discounts. I have bought 2-3 cars from there where their advertised price was not that far off from my A-plan discount. Cowles Ford in VA is another big high volume outfit that tends to...

you need longer lug spikes, like 6"

sorry im a downer haha

hundred it isnt That is a crucial upgrade from the Bullitt, and over PP GT's. Mach 1 is a special car, otherwise a PP2 GT with a tremec makes the Mach 1 nothing but a PP3; slight suspension/wheel upgrades & some styling. Mach 1 is basically the 'optional Tremec' package in the GT lineup Im...
