I use Armor All Extreme Tire Foam. The foaming action does a good job of getting any residual brake dust off, and it leaves a good shine (the non-Extreme tire form is not shiny at all). The can says to just spray it and let it sit, but I feel like I'd use half a can to get an even coat (maybe...
That seems about right. Levittown lists them at $122, Tasca Parts at $119, so everyone's in the same ballpark. "Retail" on the Ford Parts site is always ridiculous. The PP pads are over $300 retail, but right around $200 from Levittown, White Bear Lake, etc.
I guess I'm lucky the worst that happened to me on an oil change is I forgot to open the vent hole on my drain pan and by the time I realized it the force of opening it spilled oil everywhere (at least I was parked in maintenance's spot and not my own so they didn't know who did it). Of course...
A couple years ago I drove our foursome to a golf course 45 minutes away. 4 bags in the trunk and 4 adults in the cabin. I'm pretty sure the clubs were more comfortable than the 2 guys in the back seat, though.
Huh. Glad I read that. I would have never known that funnel is in with the tire inflator kit. Also, if anyone from Ford is reading, the S550 has been out for 4 years, can we get a locking gas cap that fits?
I'd be a fan of the 3.5 TT. I had an Expedition Max Platinum as a rental while my Mustang was getting the hood replaced (corrosion), and for having to move a bus, it was a really good engine. Plus they're getting 450 hp out of it in the Raptor and 640 in the GT, so it's versatile enough they...
When you sign up, you self-select your run group (Advanced, Intermediate, Novice). You don't necessarily have to sign up for novice your first time if you do have a lot of track time under your belt, but they typically say to go down a group your first time at a new track. I think they say they...
Assuming this is like any other MVP event, if you're in the novice group, there will be sign up sheets for each instructor wherever they hold the drivers' meeting. You're welcome to sign up with instructors for any and all run sessions. MVP is brand-agnostic; you'll probably see a lot of E36 and...
I don't know what FedEx is doing right now. I got a free photobook from Google so I made it of Cars & Coffee photos from last year. It shipped on Tuesday the 8th from Oregon, and is expected to arrive the 18th. You could practically walk it here in 10 days. The tracking shows on Friday it went...
I won a free day with MVP last year, so i have to use that this year. But I probably won't do NCM since that's 2 weeks before I'm running a marathon. I'll probably only run 1 event this year since I'm looking to buy a house and that'll eat a lot of savings.
Check under your hood and right along the front edge for any paint bubbling or other signs of corrosion. I first noticed it in August, brought it in in September (and got a replacement approved by Ford), and by last week when the body shop was able to take it, it had almost doubled in size.
I...
I log my maintenance on owner.ford.com. Unless their boss specifically tells them to be a stickler (at which point I'd probably find a different dealer) I'm willing to bet a service advisor looking into an issue would see it was done and not dig deeper.
I disagree with the person who suggested TrackDecals.com. I ordered cling numbers from them, and it took almost a month to receive them (they arrived a day before I left town for a track day). And judging by the reviews on their Facebook page, I'm not the only one. I can't speak to the quality...
AFAIK the dealer here in Champaign still has #25 and is asking $149k. 2 hour drive to save $100k. Also being Chicago-born, I feel inclined to say Bob ROOOOOOHR-man
