  1. Winter Storage

    Some of us live in very cold areas where max performance SUMMER tires just do not work... And we have winter beaters to drive. I have place at 6000' altitude that I have to climb steep and winding roads to get to... The Mustangs just don't do winter there. :)
  2. Weird MyColor message

    Just for grins, start it up & turn the lights on... Then try adjusting the colors. If all else fails, there's always the owner's manual. ;)
  3. A fast car does not make me a good driver

    Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. ;)
  4. Weird MyColor message

    Were your headlights, or at least running lights turned on? ;)
  5. She is here - Jennifer

    Jennifer is a beauty; congratulations. :)
  6. Winter Storage

    Best answer I can think of. ;) But... Though expensive, take a look at these: Since I haven't bought any of them yet (a little too expensive for molded plastic, I think), I have parked my cars on several layers of old carpet scraps. Seems to help. :)
  7. So I attempted to buy a Mustang today...

    My opinion: use Galpin for comparison shopping only. Never buy from them! I have a pretty good, personal reason.
  8. Am I making the wrong decision? STI to GT

    I would keep the Subaru 'till spring, then switch cars... You won't blow anything up by driving mellow. Subaru makes great cars 'till they're overly abused. BTW - "instant torque" isn't really what you need in nasty weather... ;)
  9. Starting in first gear

    PRACTICE makes perfect... Let the clutch out very slowly 'till you can sense it starting to grab, then slowly give throttle while letting the clutch out fully. After a while it'll be as simple as blinking.
  10. Mustangs Sitting on the Lot

    You all know that the best time to save $ on a new '15, will be around this time next year, in '15. These are still new cars and dealers aren't that concerned about them sitting there for a while... It's the '14s that they want to move out. NOW is the time to get the deal on one of them. These...
  11. Snow tires for the GT or buy a AWD beater?

    My vote is buy an AWD and a set of snow tires for that. You don't want to turn your new Mustang into a winter beater. If you don't mind driving cross country, there are plenty of non-rusted Subies, here in SoCal. I sort of like the Foresters (why yes, I am a male lesbian). :)
  12. That Classic Foxbody 5.0 sound

    My opinion: Without room for large mufflers near the front of the car and longish pipes after them, the exhaust probably won't ever sound like it did on the older cars. If you want that older sound, make room for mufflers near the front (like right under your front seats). I think that the...
  13. S550 aftermarket is gonna explode

    Exactly what ^ he said. Mustang has always been considered more or less to be one of the best American "hobby" cars, and sort of a blank canvas for enthusiastic artists. Aftermarket support has always been extremely strong for Mustang, and that's what helps to make it a perennial favorite.
  14. Anybody here willing to wait a couple years?

    While I'm one of those who is planning on keeping 'em for a while, I bought both my '08 Bullitt and '09 GT500KR at the end of the year; Bullitt in November and KR in December. Got a great price on each, and I couldn't have care less that they were already "a year old". It really didn't matter...
  15. Why is 2005 Mustang GT faster than 2015?

    I have a stock-ish '08 Bullitt (4.6 3V GT) and I seriously doubt that it'll run anywhere near what the newer Coyote Mustangs do (no, I haven't raced any). That said, it's still no slouch, mostly thanks to the factory 3.73 rear.
  16. Decisions...

    Is that a serious question? I think that nobody likes to make payments on a car, only to see that it's worth 1/2 as much by the time it's paid for. Some depreciate much faster than others; right? Thankfully my '09 KR didn't drop in value too much since I bought it (got it in late '09 - good...
  17. Decisions...

    My 2¢ - The 2015 is a new car for the model year, and with most new cars, some bugs will need squashing. 2014 was the most refined of the S197s, and a pretty darn good Mustang (though I'm partial to '05-'09 body). The 2014 can also be had at decent discounts now, making them a heck of a deal...
  18. Anniversary Cobra? (Shelby Cobra GT500)?

    No thank you, PLEASE. That thing above doesn't stand a chance. The Pinto was better looking.
  19. An Open Apology to Tony Alonso

    Very pretty car. Still prefer my Highland Green; guess I'll need to wait for the next Bullitt. :)
  20. Forged Pistons?

    Forged pistons are a bit tougher, but usually cost more to make, and are noisier while cold (they expand more, requiring greater bore clearance). I suspect that Ford will only use them in a "boosted" application. A refined NA engine isn't likely to have a forged piston; the average driver...
