Because Photoshop?

Wow, That's crazy! Our gas prices are fairly ridiculous, since our gas taxes are in the nations's top 5, but I am only seeing $.20 difference here between regular and premium. The Chevron in my neighborhood is $2.75 for premium right now, and $2.55 for regular. That spread has held...

With the understanding that Distance To Empty varies somewhat, depending on recent driving history - i.e. it's going to be more optimistic if you have been steady-state cruising at 60mph than if you have been horsing it around the autocross course all day. After a day of over 300 miles of...

I have actually had a similar conversation in the past. Once a customer of mine asked me to attend a meeting with one of his customers, who was unhappy with the quality of color that he was producing for her. She fashioned herself a "designer". During the course of the meeting, at one point...

Awesome - have you ever seen the "Luscious Pink" video? It really does an excellent job lampooning the color/emotion link, and the life experience of those of us who are responsible for producing colors to other people's standards... I went ahead and found the link - it might be worth a laugh...

It is interesting that you bring this up. I also work in color theory/reproduction. A few years ago I attended a seminar where one of the speakers worked for X-Rite Corp. He spoke at some length about having done consulting work for most of the major US and Japanese car manufacturers. He...

Well, crap - that is only about 6 or 7 miles. (I lived in Ballard back in the late 70s - near Holman Rd and 100th) Seems like it should be doable. Either Wednesday or Thursday evening would be best, I will be braving I-5 South Friday evening, for the 4-5 hour drive home....

I will be in Seattle for work next week - Wednesday through Friday. I will be working and staying in the north part of downtown, roughly Denney Way and Aurora. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, I would be happy to show it (off) to you. Depending on the weather, it might not be as clean...

Have you seen a Ruby Mustang in person? The color just seems to lay differently on the lines of this car vs the others that you mention. For me, it was very close to "Ruby Red or nothing".

Is this actually documented anywhere? I have seen it repeated over and over in these forums since well before the car was ever released, but I have never seen it published anywhere. Thanks!

Is this a peak number (i.e. the highest that you saw during the trip), or was that an average for the whole 50 miles? I ask because the first 50 miles of my drive yesterday was steady-state 60mph driving on more or less flat highways, and I never saw anywhere near that number - and I have...

I seriously doubt this. It is far more likely that it is tied to the front wheel speed sensors which are part of the ABS. If it were tied to the speedometer, it would measure the distance that the surface of the rear tires traveled during wheelspin - you could power-brake your way to a crazy...

I know that this has come up several times, in different formats, but I wanted to share my experience. I have a GT with the 50th appearance package, auto, and 3.55. I had to drive about 275 miles of interstate yesterday, with about half into a strong headwind. Today, I came home, with...

Happy to be of help. I joined MCA for $50 last summer, then also joined EAA in the fall when I learned of the additional $750 discount, so I was in $90. When I bought my car, X-Plan was about $2700 under MSRP ($40,891 vs $43,590). In addition, I was able to use the EAA $750 certificate and a...

There is a sticky one of the forums, but essentially, X-Plan is a fixed price discount program that Ford offers to employees of their suppliers and members of affiliated organizations. The 2 most popular organizations seem to be Mustang Club of America (often referred to here as MCA or...

I can only relate my own experience. I bought a 2006 Mustang in Redfire Metallic (slightly darker than Ruby, but similar color family). Several of my friends had reactions along the lines of "wow, you must like talking to cops!" I drove that car for 8 years and 10 months, put just shy of...

Nope! I got one on December 5, and apparently wasn't the first either. I was tooling along, minding my own business... I see the motorcycle cop pull out behind me with his lights on and think "ooh, I had better get out of his way - he is clearly after somebody!" I was completely surprised...

You regret Ruby???? http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=396444&postcount=602 I am seriously not sure that I would have bought a Mustang again if Ruby or something like it wasn't one of the options.

Finally got a break in the rain and got it clean. How could you *not* love this color????

Looked at another way - the $1595 "trim package" includes a 19" wheel option that would normally be $995, and the "premier trim" option, which lists at $395. So if you were going to get those two things anyway, all of the other stuff is only costing you $205. My original order included those...
