Yeah, they don't FILTER it or anything. Cause they are in business to ruin the paint on all of their customer's cars so they don't ever come back again. I bet they just dump a bag of sand in the drain on mornings where they don't get a couple of filthy SUVs first thing in the morning. It's a...

I have an auto GT with 3.55 gears, with 5,600 miles so far. I probably drive 75-80% freeway overall. I usually see 300-350 miles between fill-ups

Yep, got mine when the car was only 10 days old. I thought that I was going 45 in a 45 zone, but I had apparently missed a sign where the limit dropped to 25 for a construction zone. The cop told me that I was going 47 in a 25 zone - with the construction penalty, I would be looking at a $520...

You know the nice thing about the high road? There's almost no traffic.

Same with mine - I showed them the card (which I still have), but they looked me up in their system. This looks just like the one that I had (which expired 12/1/14), but as I mentioned above, the dealership already knew about it. It would be nice if you could just hand them around like a...

Funny story - In the mid-1980s I worked as an auto mechanic at a shop which was attached to a parts store owned by the same asshole I worked for. One day I went up to the parts counter to to pick up something for a repair that I was working on, and had to wait behind the counter for a minute...

That's right - I forget that we're neighbors. My sister lives in Ridgefield, too. She is off of 179th out west of the fairgrounds. We should get together sometime.

Thanks, we actually lived out west in Randallstown, but we were pretty poor at the time and lived in some pretty crappy apartments. I think we got to experience much of the....ambiance.... that Baltimore has to offer, though. Our car was broken into several times, some of the apartments in our...

That Frantic is an incredibly versatile ball - it's still my go-to. I have had 2 other new balls since that one, but I keep going back to it.

From my (somewhat limited) research, A/Z plan is the lowest, it is for current/retired employees of Ford. D plan is apparently $100 higher, and is for employees of Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealerships. Information on some Ford websites indicates that A/Z pricing is the best price available. X...

I have a GT Premium Auto with 3.55 and I definitely don't have the Strut Tower Brace. I would have to go look to see if I have the others. You are talking about the one that attaches to the firewall and extends to the strut tower by the battery?

I can appreciate that some people like it, and I certainly wouldn't argue with their choice. I just can't understand WHY they like it. When I go there, all I see is a filthy crowded stinking cesspit, populated with people who would cut out their own tongue with a rusty spoon before they would...

No, I had it right. I don't even really like to visit there. I have good friends who grew up there, and have mostly moved away now. I once broke up with a girlfriend because she wanted to move to Queens and I wanted to move to damn near anywhere BUT New York.

Keep in mind that there is more to it than just transmission choice. The GT has 3 different axle ratios, and I think the V6 and EB each have 2. So you have to include that in your comparison. My GT Auto with 3.55 will not be comparable to a GT Manual with 3.31 or 3.73.

Apparently Jimmy is in Manhattan and sees some traffic that is ridiculous in typical New York fashion. Years ago, I was in Manhattan at about 9:00 on a Sunday morning, and spent about 40 minutes waiting to cross a single intersection. It was completely gridlocked, with cars blocking the...

What cracks me up is when I am sitting in the dealer's service department and hear the guy at the desk telling a customer: "If your owner's manual indicates a service interval, like 30,000 miles, then you should have us change it then. If it says 'Service not Required', we recommend changing it...

I get a "Fuel is Low" display on my center display when the Distance to Empty hits about 40 miles (actually, it is almost always at 38 miles, but I don't know what that is based on). I have to dismiss this notification with the left-side OK button on the steering wheel. At the same time, the...
