There's a difference between "invoice" and what a dealer actually pays. So $4k off is a pretty good deal and yes, probably does include some "marketing incentives" from Ford to the dealer. With maybe more to come if sales continue to slide.

I have to drive across the lawn and then up a similar "cliff" onto the carport slab at my place. I have been doing it for 18 months now with zero issues. Just take it easy. I also have the 20-inch wheel/tire package. The tires don't even deflect when inflated properly. You are going to do this...

Depends on who you buy it from. I would for sure want to know who owned and drove it, and how they maintained it. If we are talking about Steve Acneface, I don't want his car since it's probably been run to 7,500 rpm 10 times a day since it was new. Maybe the oil has been changed but the clutch...

I'd start with polish. Then go to polishing compound. Then to rubbing compound if need be. ALWAYS use the least aggressive product that will get the job done. This is going to be a lot of work, I am afraid, and you may have some work ahead of you to get the remaining swirls out. Depending on...

It is dumb. The exhaust mode should be a sticky setting. Had they asked me to design it, I would have done a four-position rotary switch. Just leave it in the mode you want, or change it (click-click) whenever you like. But no. It has to be all high-tech and so much harder to use. Reason 347 why...

I can really relate to this. I have always driven my Mustangs daily. I drove my 2015 3,000 miles a month at times. But then I started working from home, and then retired in May, 2021. I ordered my 2021 GT in July and got it in October. In the 14 months since, I have put 2,000 miles on it! It...

This, and all of it. Best you can hope for is to recover the mechanical parts but they will need to be stripped and rebuilt to assure the salt is gone. None of the electronics can be trusted. None of the soft materials are any good. The body is toast. $40K sounds like a lot for what you might...

1. Lane keeping assist. Thankfully can be switched off. 2. Collision avoidance warning. Haven't found a way to shut that one off yet.

Might be easier to remove if you loosen the splitter screw.

Well, there weren't any hurricanes (or even big storms) in FL until the end of September, so I don't know about it being a hurricane vehicle. Sounds like a repo and maybe a dealer trade (did someone want a Bronco?) But that is a good price for Premium PP1. Probably related to not wanting to...

Microsoft Edge on my computer has now decided that Mustang7g.com is a mis-type of Mustang6g.com and must be a malicious site, so has blocked me from accessing it. No way, no how. God, I hate Microsoft.

It can be a whole lot of fun to drive a slow car fast. In my day I have owned a '75 Opel Manta, an '85 Camaro 2.8 V6 5-speed, a '78 Ford Fiesta, a '73 Fiat 124 Spider, and an '80 Mazda RX-7. None of those cars were fast. In fact, you could drive most of them flat out through urban traffic and no...

Seems to happen when I am trailing someone who turns right when I continue straight. I guess I get closer than the software thinks is prudent, but I am nowhere close to a collision. Been doing this for 50 years, so I am pretty sure of that.

Your point about price is well taken. I think the Dark Horse price is likely to be breath-taking. And then there will be the ADM.

Brutally honest? I think they look like tik-tak. The S197 crowd went crazy with scoops, louvers and vents, to the detriment of their cars. The S550 bunch hasn't been as bad. I mean, it's your car and you get to do you, but the S550 is a sleek design and IMO isn't helped by glued-on scoops and vents.

Cool air. What a concept. Here in Central FL we had three nights down in the 50s but now back in the 60s at night and 80s in daytime. Typical fall here. We may be wearing shorts and polos at Christmas, you never know.

Somehow I don't think my butt is calibrated well enough to notice an additional 8 hp on top of the 460 hp I have already.

Monterey is gorgeous. I have spent time there, and have ridden my bicycle up and down Highway 1 and across that bridge many times. If they are going to pay you enough to buy a house anywhere nearby, good for you. Recognize it is a VERY blue community and will be a different from much of the...

There are two parts to a CA emissions test. There's a two-part sniff on a dyno (1,500 and 2,500 rpm, to standards tighter than 49-state standards. You won't pass without catalytic converters that actually work and fuel curves that are near 14:1 at those RPMs. That's all pretty doable and lots of...

That's quite a lot of damage. For me, I wouldn't want it after it had been repaired and would want the payout. I'd never feel the same about it. And I'm not sure it will ever actually BE the same. Not to mention the big fat red mark on your Carfax.
