Kind of a basic question but is it OK to use just a good quality blue painter’s tape to mask off trim, badges, ridges etc. before polishing? Seems like it would be fine but I just wanted to make sure. Can only imagine that awful feeling if you started pulling up tape and…well, you know.

Accurate and timely communication makes the world go ‘round or brings it to a screeching halt. I‘m looking to buy a few things, maybe even at some point a new polisher or two and I’m getting some unexpected surprises. Like on a well thought of website ordering a particular polisher, waiting a...

I’ve got a new black Dark Horse that wasn’t at the dealership very long but seems to have spent it‘s time there on the showroom. Between that and clean up guys whose collective IQ didn’t bust three digits, the paint is in pretty foul shape. At least by my standards; lots of fine scratches...

I’ve stumbled on to this reading around but can’t find where Ford comes out and actually states it anywhere. I have a ‘23 Mach of each variety but in the M6 especially things happen so fast when you’re doing a pull that it’s honestly hard to keep a real critical eye on the tach and the road too...

I truly hate nannies! So I’m enjoying a spirited backroads romp in track mode in my 2023 M6 Mach 1 through N. GA today when I suddenly get the above message. I was probably a little close to the car ahead but I’ve been much closer before going much faster. I didn’t even have my foot on the gas...

I might be in the market for another Mach 1, preferably a 2021. Yeah, don’t ask! I‘ve been using cargurus, carfax, autotrader, carmax, etc. Pretty much all the usual suspects but so far all of them seem to have their quirks. Maybe that’s just how it’s gonna be. Just wondered what y’all’s...

I kinda doubt it, at least anything with it‘s own unique engine while invoking the Shelby legacy. Especially at the price point the GT350 was stickered at. If you think about it, the car was a bargain when new. To confirm that you only need look at the used market today, even as the GT500 market...

I guess the title says it all. I‘ve had some unavoidable surprise speed bumps pop up overnight and just thought I’d ask y’all’s experience before I tried going over one. Best I can measure these are a little over 2.5” but look taller to the eye. They’re nasty even in my wife’s Outback. My...

I mean if your current GT350/500 was badged as a “Mach 2“ and didn’t say Shelby anywhere on it, would it still be as special to you as it is? Let’s face it; regardless of what assembly line they went down, who blessed them, what registry they are or aren’t on or any other useless point...

So my wife and I are at Publix this afternoon. She’s trained herself to BOLO for nice looking S550s in the unlikely event I miss one. Well, we go by a clean dark gray coupe parked in the lot and I kinda just roll by it when she says “hey what’s that little emblem on the back?” I back up and sure...

This is kinda a mental exercise sort of thing so I get it if you aren’t bored enough to waste bandwidth on it. I’m determined to keep one manual S550 until they pry the cueball out of my right hand. And I have two A10 S550s in case that happens. I really love pretty much everything about this...

It couldn’t just be the $5/car they’d save. It just seems like it would have much simpler just to go square with 19x10/275s all around. My reason for wondering is that at some point I may look into custom wheels for my ‘23s and 19x10 opens up the choices and becomes rotatable I suppose. But I’m...

Sometimes I really wonder if it’s just me. Or maybe it’s just the mentality of true car guys. But I have a hard time being satisfied with what I have. An S550 GT is probably as perfect for most people as a street car gets. In fact, it’s probably more car than I and most have the ability to fully...

I’m considering taking the plunge on a seriously overpriced 12 mile 2022 HE GT500 with CFTP. It still has the plastic on the seats and mats, steering wheel condom still on, all window stickers, etc. etc. You know the drill; it was bought to flip. But if I grab it I’m not gonna just collect it...

In looking at the window stickers on a couple of 2022 GT500s I noticed the hp rating was absent up top with the engine description where you normally see it on other Mustangs. Seemed odd. They are all still the same 760 hp aren‘t they?

It’s actually not hypothetical for me. I’m fast running out of garage space. Truth be told I am out and I’ve got to do something soon to get my wife’s car back under roof. I’m currently hogging all 3 bays and she’s unhappily in the driveway. One answer is to build another garage but that’s...

For obvious reasons this would probably only apply if your Mustang is a toy or at least not a DD. I‘ve gotta admit it happens to me from time to time, but as much as I love classic muscle I always seem to snap out of it and come to my senses. I guess I’m just crazy about these Mustangs. Plus...

What got me to thinking about this was reading the performance related posts over at 7G after the embargo expired. The S650 guys are handling it pretty well but it’s easy to see they’re rightfully disappointed that the extra horsepower hasn’t made the ‘24s straight-line monsters. It’s early data...

So I’m tooling down the road today about to touch 300 miles on the odometer of my new 6MT 600a Mach 1. I’m in track mode and the car sounds like rolling thunder and is pulling really strong. People who don’t even know what it is are straining to gawk at it and my day is just pure joy. I mean...

And a few hours later I’m home with it. I do appreciate all of your help. Long boring story but turns out it was only 80 miles away where I bought my ’23 A10 Mach a couple months ago. It‘s an Oxford White 600a car which is fine by me. I’ve always liked the cloth interiors and I almost never use...
