This thread makes me feel lucky I've had mostly positive experiences with my dealer. They're a Roush dealer, so the techs aren't as likely to hot rod mine when they have blown Mustangs and F-150s coming through all day. Courtesy shuttle to drop you off and pick you up anywhere in town. They'll...

I'm not sure those symptoms are the battery. If it's turning over then stuttering or dying the battery already did it's job, and something else isn't right. While it's not impossible especially if it sat on the dealer lot, a 2019 shouldn't be dying already. I still have the factory battery on my...

The service interval is when they're worn. If you're a light braker you might get tens of thousands of miles out of a set. If you do a 3-day track weekend you'll probably go through a fresh set and into a second set. If they're worn down so that the groove disappears or the little metal tab...

Tire Rack says those tires have 7.2/32 when new. I'm not sure what the wear bars measure at, but if you're down to 2/32 or less, they're probably about done. And maybe you'll get away with 2/32 if it's dry, but if it rains, you'll be sitting in the paddock while the operator counts your money.

Unless you know the miles put on the car were hard, like track work, I'd just follow the owner's manual. And with that low of miles, you'll probably be looking at the time interval of the "x miles or y years" side of the equation. Also, I don't know how it works when you buy used, but are you...

I wouldn't expect a routine look around to be free unless it was negotiated when you bought the car. But the dealer by me does still offer free trips through the scratch and swirl machine and a vacuum every time you bring the car in, whether for routine maintenance, warranty repairs, or...

I will say because my Mustang is my DD, when I drive something else with an automatic, I try to put my left foot down only to realize there's nothing to do, and then I get nervous when I start it that it'll lurch because I don't have the clutch in.

Conti EC Sport in the summer and Blizzak LM-32 in the winter. Although this will probably be the last winter on this set, don't know if I'll get them again. They're good, but are they ever expensive.

If you don't want to spend $250 on a fitted one, here's one for $10. Also be careful near the stove because it's hot and be careful with scissors because they're sharp.

Has cleaning it held for you? I just came across this thread because my dealer called me back saying the MAF is f***ed. I have the PP2 and was parked for about 2 hours in the heavy rain we got from Olga last Saturday. Parked facing south, with the wind out of the northeast, perfect to inundate...

Not necessarily for the S550, but because of it, I bought these Mustang cufflinks. I own at least 3 other pairs of cufflinks, and wear French cuffs at most twice a year. So on average they get worn once every 2 years.

That's surprising that they didn't. My understanding is the dealer just takes pictures and submits them to Ford, and it's up to Ford to approve or deny the claim. If that's the case, I don't see how going to another dealer would help. But I had the hood corrosion issue last year - although mine...

Replaced the embarrassingly dirty paper filter with the Airaid blue model. We'll see how the butt dyno rates it tomorrow

Oil change light came on last week so I changed it today. Am I the only one who likes the smell of motor oil? Instead of Chanel No. 5, I would wear Pennzoil No. 5-20

I actually got one of these sets from Harbor Freight that includes SAE, metric, and Torx, but it still wasn't pleasant to use. I more or less hand-tightened the screw after putting the new filter in and called it good

Changed the cabin air filter. Old one was black and a bunch of crap fell off as I pulled it out, but what a massive pain to change. Whoever decided to put it behind some felt behind the glovebox and secure it with a torx bit should not be allowed to reproduce.

And that's why a detailer near me just had to work on this car after a guy "tried doing it themselves"

Man I should start a shop in your neck of the woods. A guy I trust near me is about $400 for IGL Quartz and $600 for Kenzo, plus about $400 for correction.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a27344417/2020-chevrolet-camaro-photos-info/ I think the sales race just got a lot closer. Cash is king, and Camaro having a the LT1 start at $35k will narrow the gap. They fixed the bowtie in the bumper too. Visibility will probably still be the big drawback.
