Here's a new story about American Muscle. On Sunday morning, I saw a Reddit thread about Power Stop brake kits being priced super low. It looked like a blowout or like they were clearing inventory to no longer sell the kits. I purchased a Z26 front/rear kit for a S550 with Performance Package...

I didn't realize that. The Voodoo and Predator aren't DI? JR

I did mine when I replaced my leaking composite valve covers with the GT500 aluminum valve covers. I figured I'd dump the new parts in there while I had things apart, anyway. It's not a hard job, just a bear. I can't speak for anything related to DI, but the clearance for bolts at the rear of...

My 2006 and 2016 both did/do this. Even my Bronco does it from time to time. Ford quabity! JR

I used to take my first car, a 1988 Mercury Topaz, over to the big parking lot at Camp Evans in Wall Township, so I could do backwards donuts and handbrake turns? JR

Honestly, you're going to have a hard time getting rid of these. Most people just throw them out when they replace them with aftermarket lugs. Perhaps the locks have some value, but the OEM lugs are just pot metal with a shiny cover that deforms and causes issues. JR

All Mustang OEM spoilers have the same bolt holes. JR

Yup. Easily removed with some quick detailer or rubbing alcohol. JR

Goof Off or Goo Gone. Easy peasy. Joe

Lug nut covers??? JR

+1 for the Pilot Sport 4S. I've had them on my car for a couple years, and they're pretty great in all conditions, other than below 40 degrees. JR

My dude is headed back to forged steel wagon wheels which totally didn't have a wooden spoke that could fail. Or horses that could die. Or leather straps that could split. Or..."oh nevermind, it be pointless." JR

And that's why we build processes to ensure reality is injected into the systems during the development process. That said, it's usually the good idea fairies that cause reality to wane in a system or development cycle, then engineers recommend solutions to give the good idea fairies what they...

That's fine. The systems I'm responsible for have never been successfully exploited. Attacked yes, but no data has been exfiltrated, and we've suffered no DoS attacks. Based on your response, I assume you probably wouldn't take the advice of an automotive engineer, because there are recalls? JR

Thanks! I should also mention that I've been a cybersecurity engineer for over 15 years, specializing in defensive cyber and risk assessment. JR

My Next x Yale lock makes a noise when it's unlocked via the app. Could an attacker disable that sound via their "hack"? Yes, probably. But I also have cameras in the area that would show "forced" entry and automatically send data to the cloud, so I have a detective feature that backs up my...

My GT/PP is coming up on 8 years old, and has almost 60k miles. It's a Gen II Coyote with MT-82, and I have it sorted to where the suspension is very predictable. I absolutely LOVE the looks of it, and honestly believe the S550 is the BEST looking Mustang ever built, to include the 1969-1970...

I have Next x Yale on my front door, and it's been two years since I installed it. I just changed the batteries for the first time. Super happy with it, and it works well with my Nest doorbell/cam, Nest Protects, and Nest thermostats. Joe

I paid $800 for a set of take offs about 4 years ago. JR
