I took it to Cowles Ford in Woodbridge, VA. They gave it an oil change, marked the dip stick and put some dye in the oil to see if its leaking
anywhere. They told me to drive it for 200 miles and then return for a checkup.
I did that, returned and they checked it. No Leaks, Compression is...

I really Wanted the Dark Blue GT350 but by the time I got there it was sold. So I went back home to search. I will NEVER Pay ADM, It the Dealer don't budge on that I leave, no reason to waste my time with them.
A few days later the Dealer I have purchased 7 cars from contacted us and wanted...
I stopped Drag Racing, I am 55 and my reaction time sucks, I watched over the years when I used to cut .001 lights to now .300-.500; so I am now interested in the road course style driving now.
I drive like that normally so no change there..

But Radar Detectors are Illegal in Virginia..
The officer can take the device at his own discretion if he believes that he needs it as evidence.
And I have a TS Clearance and can't afford getting a reckless driving charge, I could loose my Clearance and my Job.
I was wondering if anyone is tracking the Engine Failures and the Builders Names?

Maybe a database with the following fields
Model Year:
Build Date:
Builders Name 1:
Builders Name 2:
Cause of Failure:
Oil Change by: Dealer / Self

I stopped Drag Racing my 05 3 years ago, it's so hard on the car, and to tell you the truth my reaction time is not what it used to be. I ran the Car at VIR once for a Toys for tots "Holiday Laps" and I had a blast, but the 05 was not built for road racing.
it was not bad, we have purchased all our cars from there.
they waved the ADM and we got it under MSRP..
