Do I have one for you guys. About 8 months ago my girlfriend's 2014 Ford Escape with +150k miles started to have a check engine light. Long story short, turns out the issue was the cat. She got them replaced by Bob's Cheap @S$ Car Repair (mostly joking, but not really). Firstly, they used a...

I got a letter in the mail today wanting me to bring my car in for them to fix something with the low pressure fuel line. Has anyone else received this? While I am not 100% opposed to take my car in for this - I just dont have the time to be without my car. So for now, I am going to do nothing -...

Hey all, I am just starting out looking into getting new wheels for my car. I really have only two requirements 1. They must be the same size that I have now. 2. The new wheels must be lighter weight than the stock OEM ones. I am having trouble confirming the things below. Are there any good...

Hello all. I installed an upgraded intercooler a few weeks ago and so far its working out pretty well I think. Makes a cool swirling noise between 5 inHG and 10 psi. Higher RPMs feel better. But it is a little hard to tell because it has been pretty cold outside since I installed it...

I found these things all over my garage today. Not sure exactly what they are. Most were just out in the open. Any ideas? *I put them on the glue trap in they hatch

I recently went on a road trip and thought why not post some of my pictures? You are welcome to post some of yours as well! Mine will be focusing on my car and other related topics. My vacation was pretty good. Went to Vegas and back. Zion was the highlight of the trip. Pretty fun except for...

I went on a 5k mile road trip over the past two weeks seeing difference cities and national parks. It was great...except for two problems I encounter with my ecoboost. I would like your opinion on what you think was happening. 1. About half way through my trip I arrive in Las Vegas on a +95...

I am sure this has been asked a million times. Do you think this tire can be patched? I'm going on a road trip soon - are patches safe for 8 hours of driving a day?

I was debating if this should go into the wheel or tires section or not...landed here because it is a more general question. Ford recommends that I run my stock Ecoboost tires (Eagle F1 Asymmetric all season) at 32psi - but I actually run mine at 33psi because it feels better on turn in. Fine...

Hello everyone, I am planning on doing a road trip out west to the mountains later this year. Going to be leaving form Missouri heading South West out to Las Vegas. Then north to Yellow Stone and back south to Denver. Colorado will be really exciting. I am planning on 1. riding my bike up...

With used car prices starting to drop I am now looking into buying a second car. Used Mx-5's seem to be becoming more reasonably priced. Back in 2017 when I was looking for a new car I ALMOST bought the MX5. But money was a little too tight for my liking at the time. I know its not...

I have owned three cars in my life. 1998 Mustang, 2017 Mustang and my current 2021 Mustang. My 98 mustang had constant problems losing coolant. Head gasket failure. Multiple hose failures. But it was to be expected as an old car. The 2017 never leaked - but she was also very young and...

I have been dealing with this issue with the i4... well since I bought it. But I don't believe that this is an engine issue per say. Randomly when accelerating from a stop out of a corner, the acceleration "lags" engine revs go up (slower than normal) and there is just no feeling of power. I...

Is there any way to lower my front seats further than they already are? Right now they are "slammed" as low as the stock settings will allow. But I still find my head rubbing on the roof a bit. Are there aftermarket rails that can drop me an inch or so? For context, I am 6'4" but my torso is...

I would like to start a discussion about this. I would love to know what you all think about it and what you think the future holds. I am bring this up because of the youtube video below. Personally, the first mod I did to my 2021 I pulled the Telematic fuse. Though, when I take the car in, I...

I am not shocked that there is another problem with this car - but here I am, yet another issue. This morning on my way to work I had two errors pop up. "Front Camera Fault - Service Required" and "pre-collision assist not available) Obviously the second one is directly caused by the camera...

Guys, I don’t want to get all sappy or whatever, but I feel like the v6 doesn’t get as much love as it should. I loved my 2017 Mustang. I loved the engine. The transmission. The S550 chassis is (still) a great platform. Damn I miss that car so much. What I wouldn’t do to have her back – she...

Hello everyone, I hope this is a simple question, and hope that the answer will help many other people. Does the 10R80 have a failsafe(s) built in - in the event that the transmission suddenly dies - Whether or not it is a mechanical, electrical, programing, or other issue, will the...

I thought this might be a fun topic. What are some of your rental car stories? Are they funny, sad, indifferent? Post below. Here are my two rental car stories: 1. Last year an off duty police officer totaled my 2017 Mustang. Traffic on the highway was stopped and this fool wasn't paying...

Do any of you have any tips or tricks for weight reduction? I am not looking to turn this into a race car, but she could stand to lose a few pounds. I want it to MOSTLY be a normal looking car on the inside. Currently planning on removing: -Back seats (partly for weight and to have a little...
