they definitely used the wrong holes. They ones on top are the pre-drilled correct holes. the ones below are just dimples where you would drill if you were in Europe. Your plate must be hanging low over the ridge of the bumper instead of flush against the car a little higher up. Just move...
NJ requires it as well. I drove my last car without one for 5 years without a problem, so for now I plan to leave it off. I see lots of performance cars in NJ without front plates, especially Corvettes.
I told my dealer not to put the front bracket on and thankfully they listened. When I picked up the car, I also noticed that there were NO dealer stickers or name plates on the car. I said to the sales guy "I like that you don't put stickers/name plates on the cars" and he said "we do put them...
Wow!! Anyone else find themselves cleaning the brake dust off the front wheels on a regular basis with the PP Brembos. The other day I looked at my car and the back wheels were two shades darker black then the front wheels. I know some people don't like the black wheels, but if the PP package...
Enjoy every minute of driving it. When I was your age, I had a 1977 Corolla that I bought for 1000 bucks. If I had your new ride at your age, I would be smiling all day every day!!! Have fun!!!
I do pretty well financially and yet it's always tough dropping any dollars on a car since it depreciates immediately the minute you drive it off the lot. ;-)
have you looked into taking it to a rim guy first. the can buff out a lot, powder coat etc. and make rims look like new. And it won't cost anywhere close to 900 bucks. I had a scraped rim on my old mustang and it was only $150. i would never go to insurance for that. I set my deductible at...
I find that my 15 GT moves in first just by letting off the clutch slowly. You can literally start tapping the throttle after you start moving. Also clutch releases pretty high up. I think a good way to get the feel of when the gear engages is to release the clutch very slowly in Reverse on a...
I saw this on youtube just now. In the windshield you can see a reflection of a sign that says SOLD VEHICLE. And these guys are using the line lock and driving it around. Is it owned by any of our members. It made me mad to see a sold LE having line lock used before the owner even gets into...
I agree. Not worth stretching to the point of stress just to buy a car, and low debt is a great feeling! I feel like if you buy a performance car for fun, like a vette or mustang GT, you should technically be able to buy it in cash. You can still finance because of the great rates, but know...
I work in NYC and own a home in NJ but I am married and in my 40s, proving Jimmy's theory. Also, earning 240k a year in the NY tri-state area does not make anyone a multi millionaire. It takes more than that in this area. Houses and apartments are very expensive. My property taxes are 16k...
You're young and you only live once. Sounds like you can afford it...so buy it and enjoy it! Worst case, if you lose your job or need the cash, you can sell the car. But my guess is you will just drive it, love it and enjoy it and be happy. Trust me, when you're 80 years old you won't look...
I hear ya! I considered it, but I got a great deal on my 2011 GT and investing what I owed on the car minus the interest I would be paying would likely not yield enough $'s to make that much of a difference in my life. So I decided to make the psychological investment of not owing any banks on...
