  1. 2015 5.0 on Fire literally

    Yowser, glad the OP escaped this okay but that whole situation is something that can stick with you for a long time. Since every other idiot on the planet has chimed in it must be time for this one to opine. FoMoCo is not the same as your friendly neighborhood Ford dealer, legally. Of...
  2. Rust on a brand new car?

    Yeah, that's not kosher. You have somewhere between 3-6 harsh, salty, northern winters worth of pitted rust on the rearend and the exhaust yet the exposed nuts and bolts on the rest of the undercarriage look nearly pristine. Not too mention that the rough surface of the trailing arms have...
  3. What is the S550?

    The two unmistakable and iconic design elements of a pony car are a long hood and short tail, combined with a two door body style, front engine, rear wheel drive and 2+2 seating. If an American car has these elements it is a Pony car...
  4. Potential purchase advise please, GT base vs PP

    You can join the Mustang Club of America for like $50 and have access to X plan pricing. It will bring you about the same discounts as you're seeing on the base models but the final price will depend upon options, of course. There is plenty of detail on how to use X plan on this forum and...
  5. How bad does a dark color really look if you don't wash it?

    Do buildings painted a dark color appear dirtier than those painted white? :doh: Does a bicycle painted a dark color appear dirtier than one painted white? :doh: Does a train car painted a dark color appear cleaner than those painted white? :doh: Does the sea air make the dark...
  6. How bad does a dark color really look if you don't wash it?

    Try an experiment - alternate wearing a pair of white underwear one day and a pair of black ones the next without washing either. After a month, turn each inside-out and see which one "shows the dirt" more.
  7. driver side blind spot. anyone else having issues?

    Yeah, right outside the Manhattan exit of the Lincoln Tunnel. It should be a tourist destination.
  8. negotiating leverage over dealer

    Ahh, the Miata sales team...
  9. negotiating leverage over dealer

    Umm, that doesn't sound like a mistake. It was probably a feeler and if I were you I wouldn't stand too close to that guy. :barf: :barf::barf::barf::barf::barf:
  10. This actually might be my first and last Ford

    Every dealership/repair shop in the country has a drop box for keys so that people can drop their cars off late at night or early in the morning. Most people who have issues with their car after it sits overnight are smart enough to take advantage of this feature. I'm sure the dealerships...
  11. Gas reserve

    Been going on since 1964... http://www.hulu.com/watch/114066
  12. Pics of car during assmebly

    Someone had posted pics of their 2015 Mustang being assembled a while ago and the thread was deleted toot sweet. It was pretty much the same situation the OP had going. If Ford service reps are getting paid to cruise the forums to look for issues to help customers with, you can bet they are...
  13. Car Wash with Hair Dryers

    That's awesome. I imagine that if they installed those in places where winter isn't so long they would be immensely popular until some global warming freak takes their Prius for its biannual wash.
  14. Lack of Advertising

    Besides what has already been pointed out (e.g. time of year and decline of TV adverts and rise of Internet), most TV auto advertising for the last 30 or so years has been regional rather national. I would think areas like Florida or southern California are seeing some ads. That being said, a...
  15. I can't register my CAR!

    I drove around Seattle with out of state plates for quite a while. Downtown and northwards the cops could have cared less. South of that they would get right behind me and tailgate for a bit before begging off.
  16. Is plain old Armor-All OK for the plastic in the interior?

    Armor All is a fantastic protectant for interior/exterior plastic although it can be a pain to apply without getting it everywhere. Your best bet is to pick up some nitrile gloves to wear and apply it with a small, very thin sponge. It is going to leave your plastic pieces shiny - they used to...
  17. Made Contact with a Deer Friday Night

    Yeah, I have deer strolling through my back yard daily - sometimes they'll even be in the front yard. Foxes, gray (and black) squirrels, raccoons, hawks, owls and the occasional golden eagle show up too. But I'm way out there... almost 600 feet from Washington, DC.
  18. Guys, talk some sense into me.

    Start at 11:20 if you can't wait. [ame=""]
  19. Finally! (FRPP Supplement Catalog)

    These are the "matte black" sold by Ford Racing as opposed to the "gloss black" which come on the PP cars.
