I'm an engineer. And a union member. There's no way this story is true, you are going to have to source it. It's just not how things work, or ever worked. Our "culture," by the way, was the only one to put men on the moon. The domestic car industry was once notoriously poor, but this was a long...

Nothing wrong with posting a magazine opinion about a Mustang. CR isn't the best source but they do test scientifically and have impartiality. They bought their test car at least, not manufacturer supplied.

Every car company sells enough volume that if even a tiny percent have issues (and a *lot* of Mustangs are sold) there are enough complaints to fill a forum. You have enough cars and experience to know this. Get what you want, but do not pretend that Mustang transmissions have a special...

Have a Satechi brand suction cup mount for 5 years! It's awesome! Tough and had it in three cars, five phones. I had bought two of these mounts but permanently installed one (no suction cup, bolted arm to dash) in a car I later traded-in. Guy thought it was a nice mod. Was only about $10 anyway...

But it's hard not to say hi back to someone who is just being nice. It's just a little weird. I nod back but never initiate a wave or anything. I've had some drivers let me merge into traffic in a way they never did before. Probably the same people that have said "cool car" to me in person. The...

Fair enough. Those documents would be a score!

Just take it out altogether! Why bother with duct tape? Nothing but a couple plastic tabs holding it in once you've taken the intake side off and a PITA 10mm nut at the firewall. I got a kit from Steeda that included a cap and firewall hole plug so it looks factory clean. About $10 but don't...

Man I miss the auto hobby shop! They had parts washers and spring compressors, stuff you may not have at home. And a convenient waste oil drum. I was in a long time ago so glad to hear the hobby shops still exist.

Not being a jerk but do you have a source for this? Because if it is true that would explain the trend in the industry. But of course if the driving force is CAFE MPG maybe the tolerances were tightened in subsequent generations to accomodate the new thinner oil weight spec so there is no going...

Haha. Well, these days we call a 12.6 sluggish! Times have changed for sure. It isn't always about the tenths anyay, especially on the street. In the SS you can't even see out it's like a mail slot. And the Mustang auto is way faster anyway. Like around 12 flat. To each their own. I'm enjoying...

Car and Driver roll thier Mustangs onto the same scale used for every other car. Camaros and hypercars included. The Mustang is simply heavy. I believe C/D's scales over Ford or Chevy press materials. Different cars, different drivers, different days, different weather, different gas, different...

Forgot the Panther platform. That platform ended in 2011. Biggest steel wheel I could locate for a Crown Vic cop car was a 17". Bolt pattern and center bore are the same so I could use a Panther steel wheel (or another 17) if I knew they'd clear. Brake clearance is really the question. Hot Rod...

THIS. And a locking gas cap.

If that's true it is sad.

I want to put steel wheels on my Mustang. I like steel sometimes. The Camaro guys had an 18x7.5 STEEL wheel option available until 2014! I don't see Ford offering any and a 17" steel is unlikely to fit at all. So it really has to be an 18" So I did some looking. The Stock tire and rim on a...

That's that odd Canada rust. Kidding. Brake calipers will rust. They're steel. The rust must start where it will, but it should never impede the function of the caliper only it's cosmetic. But a lot of guys paint the calipers or cover them but it's a tough battle since they really take a beating.

2018 and pouring FI cleaner already? Beware of any pictures of piston tops "before" and "after." Take my word, yours still look like new after 12k miles.

I had a Maxima that I didn't even need to jack up to change the oil. Some Jeeps that were the same way. But this car is much more hassle. The only advice I'd give about having a shop or the dealer do the oil change is don't be afraid to watch them do the work. If you feel silly, tip the tech...

Tell you what, change it and send the old oil to me. I'll put it in my Mustang. Time to relax! Most people on these forums talking about oil change it way too early. But 10 miles is some kind of record.

I did like the strut kit. If only I was able to tig weld I would have welded the struts in place! Really Ford put the skinniest studs I've ever seen on such a big piece of metal like the hood.
