No, because I can never be sure of the future me, and they will be making spares long after I am dead.

Whatever...

I have a T-shirt an a sticker for the Mustang and the Jeep. Does that make me a member? Only two of my cars have been a manual. The F-250 and the '96 STS it replaced. Also I didn't realize how negative some people can get about our love for rowing through the gears. 🤷

Sam's or Costco have good batteries at unbeatable prices. Christ I sound like a commercial.

It happens...three times to my car. Now I buy glass replacement coverage after the first time.

I have one of these that is old enough to drink, and it has been used on everything from race cars to motorcycles. It has terminal clamps, or you can buy pig tails to make it a plug in setup. https://www.batterytender.com/products/battery-tender%C2%AE-plus-12v-1-25-amp-battery-charger

Just checked GasBuddy and it's $4.54 around here, but our Governor suspended the state gas tax for now.

I can't tell you the price around here now. I'll use GasBuddy to find the best deal, but I'm not driving out of my way to get it. At this point in my life the price of gas doesn't really matter.

Don't know what to tell you. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S has a TWR of 300, so they're kinda hard to begin with. They had a year of driving on them, so they were full tread and sat out in the UV cross linking the whole time. I don't have any experience with a tire on track that wasn't shaved...

If I ever get tired and bored with my S550, only then I will get a C8.

No. The CLUTCH master cylinder. For clarity's sake are you having problems with your brakes, or your clutch? Although with this model the brake master reservoir supplies fluid to both the brake and clutch master cylinders, beyond that they are two separate circuits.

$4.19 at Sam's, pretty much $4.25 to $4.35 anywhere else. These days I drive the mustang so infrequently I don't bother to check prices.

Swapped in a Steeda Tri-Ax short shifter that did not want to shift into after an hour or so of enthusiastic driving in the North GA mountains. Put the OEM unit back in and left it at that.

Buy one of these for life. https://www.schumacherelectric.com/products/battery-load-tester/ A good friend of mine has one for years, and with five cars/trucks I borrow it at least once a year

Around here it seems that even with the shipping cost they still end up cheaper. I also love the choice of manufacturers and pricing for any given part.
