The speed limit on the Blue Ridge Parkway is either 35 or 45mph, depending on what section you're driving. From what I've read, it used to be higher or at least a consistent 45mph limit, but I guess there were too many incidents where drivers went off the road when taking a turn too fast. I...
Silver MMD V Series stripes from AmericanMuscle.com on Deep Impact Blue. I installed them myself in a few hours using the included instructions, an Exacto knife, and my wife's hair dryer. :D They came out air bubble free and people are always shocked I didn't have them done by a shop. Even the...
Well, that's good to hear about the quality, because I'm finding it difficult to justify spending $450 for what is basically about five square feet of molded plastic.
Late last October, less than a month after I bought the car, I took a solo trip from Raleigh to Boone, NC so I could drive up and down the Blue Ridge Parkway. I have 3.31 gears and while traveling between 60-75mph, I got about 25 or 26mpg for the trip out there. Considerably less once I finally...
Well, I don't believe that the horse in your avatar is a real horse. I've never seen a grey and orange horse before. It must be Photoshopped! I call shenanigans!:lol:
This year marks the 20th anniversary of getting my driver's license. I've owned six vehicles in that time, including the S550 I have now. It easily blows away the five others in terms of fun factor and driving enjoyment. My first car, a used 1990 Nissan 240sx 5-speed hatchback comes closest, but...
Good to hear! There's a Northern Tool about two minutes from my office and they carry the XL35 in stock regularly. I picked it because of the great reviews and the fact it can get under lower cars with ease.
I was originally leaning towards silver wheels to match the stripes on my DIB, but black and graphite colored wheels are really starting to grow on me. Now I may go with black wheels and just redo the car with matching black stripes and a black spoiler. :shrug:
Thanks for the additional endorsement of the Steeda rails and especially the photos! I've got two 3-ton jack stands now, but in the next month or so I'm going to pick up another set as well as the Steeda rails and an Arcan XL35 3.5-ton jack. The $25 Wally World jack I've been using for five or...
Hi Kyle, thanks for the reply. There's no need for me to file a warranty claim though, because I've already returned both kits to American Muscle and they've issued me a full refund. I also purchased a cold air intake kit from a different company over the weekend. I hope Roush can get this...
Yep. I do this too. Got tired of the car honking at me when I park at the mailbox cluster in our neighborhood, so I just gently close the door all the way but don't make it latch. Then you can walk away without it chirping at you.
Just to add another option, I recommend Formula 88 cleaner/degreaser for oil spill clean-ups. It's available at Lowe's or Home Depot. Comes in a jet black 32oz spray bottle for about $3-4 or one gallon jug for like $8-9. I first used it about 10 years ago and never looked back. It's...
