When the weather starts to get cold bordering on freezing and when they salt the roads, my GT is going to hybernate in my garage. Now I've never done that with a car. With my bike (86 Suzuki Intruder) I use a batter tender, run the fuel line dry and add sta-bil to what's left in the tank...

I've thought about taking my GT to the track on and off since I bought it. I really don't want to beat this car, that wouldn't be the point of going. But I'd like to know what it can do, how to maneuver/control it and what it's limits are. I figure if I pick out another set of...

Just picked it up from the notary today after waiting a month and a half for it. I love it! I'd like to get a frame for it but I want something that looks great on the car. 375316[/ATTACH]"] This one highlights going fast but I'm not sure it looks classy enough...

I usually use a tire iron to get wheels off but between swapping sets of snow tires and working on brakes/suspensions, I'm thinking about buying an impact wrench to make it significant quicker and easier to do. Which impact wrench do you use? Does brand/model matter or will the HF cheapie...

I keep a pretty close eye on my car in regard to damage. I just washed it Monday night. At that time, what I'm going to share wasn't visible. I just went out to my car, noticed a spot of bird crap and when I went to get the bottle of detail spray/cloth out of the trunk I noticed that right...

About 20mins. ago I was heading home from work. As I'm getting on the highway this dickhead in a Range Rover didn't yield from a side ramp and cut in front of me. It's happened before at that ramp...whatever, no big deal. In my mind I give them plenty of room as we head up the ramp so when we...

Part of the reason I pay under $400 a year for car insurance on my GT is that I don't drive it in the colder months. So I could care less how cold the shift knob gets and how long it takes to warm up in the colder months. Right now it's in the 90's and when I get in, all the aluminum parts...

I've never used them before and up until now I've been using the bigger cup holder to hold my phone. But I'd like to try using my phone for GPS nav in the future and I'd like a holder that works well in the S550 given the interior layout. Which do you use? Pics are always welcome and...

EDIT: Turns out it is the PREMIUM Maintenance Plan they are giving me! Last week the local Ford dealer/service replaced my rear driver's side window due to some faulty trim from the factory. Problem was it took two months for them to complete the job. I suspect it was due to the service...

Back in undergrad I put a ton of MP3's on a "DVD +R". There are a handfull of folders and then a few hundred MP3's. No videos or text docs or anything, just music. When I put it in the CD player it keeps spitting it back out. Any thoughts why this is? I could pretty easily just...

I found the exact replica of my car. Same color, model, trim, wheels...everything! But instead of it being the $1 Hot Wheels (variation) I have on my wall, it's made by Maisto and costs $25. I know nothing about Maisto but I think I might shop around and then pull the trigger on one. The...

My Mustang came with a defective window (trim) on the rear driver's side. I figured it'd be a quick strip and replacement of the trim but they need to completely replace the window. Worst customer service I've ever dealt with!! Took them 2 months to do/arrange the repair and that was after 3...

I see the trunk already has the 4 pegs for a cargo net. Which did you go with? Thanks -Emt1581

A few years ago when my dog was in the cargo area of my 02 Forester, he knocked the antenna wire away from the glass. At the time I bought some conductive epoxy/glue packet specifically made for the purpose of re-attaching disconnected radio antenna wires to glass windows that had the antenna...

The two main differences between the Husky and Weathertech matts seem to be 1) Weathertechs attachment is more precise via velcro and 2) Husky matts cover the dead pedal. However, in searching around online I saw of some claims that the Husky matts warped/became mishappen over time. Has this...

I was talking to another S550 GT owner this weekend. His is a base non-pp manual so I'm guessing 3.55 gearing. He said he planned to add a Whipple supercharger in the near future and then mentioned contemplating lower gearing. He also said that guys were destroying their cars with 3.73...

In the past few days I've noticed that my phone is no longer syncing to the car when I get in. But it started with me hitting the "listen" button to read a text aloud. I hit it a few times while an MP3 was being played and it did nothing. Now, it doesn't sync. What did I hit and how do I...

I've found 2-3 small rock chips in my paint. Two up front and then one on the rear bumper cover (that one confused me!). They look like little elongated bug smears but they aren't. At the same time I do have a tube of the OEM touch up paint and clear coat. However, before using it on...

I've never bought/used any fender covers when working under the hood because, to be honest, I could care less if my belt bucke/tools/etc. scratched my beaters. Not the case with my S550! I yell at a Ford service guy this week for touching his belt buckle to my car! What fender covers do...

...I switched from the tripometer to just the miles to empty screen! Might seem simple but it was screwing me up. I kept trying to get the most of out of my tank (in a car not built for economy!) and, in some sense, cringing when the mpg's went down. When I took it off the screen I could...
