In the words of the late great Johnnie Taylor “It’s cheaper to keep her”. Good girl friends/wives are worth more than any car.

Thanks!

I have an area of wear on the side bolster of the driver’s seat near the seat bottom. It has not worn through but the black color is worn off. I think this actually vinyl and was going to dye it and cover the area with some vinyl repair. I’ll use leather dye if it’s leather. Where does seat...

Thanks, I believe that’s it. I’ll stop by on my way home today

I noticed a piece of plastic trim on the driver’s side front undercarriage hanging down yesterday. It seems to be a hinged part which I am assuming is for access. It doesn’t drag on the ground but I want to reattach it. I don’t have a lift or ramps to really get a good look at it but I can feel...

Yes, after I start it I can shut it off and restart and it starts normally. Even after it sits all day at work, starts fine in the afternoon/evening. Just seems to be sitting overnight or for a few days if I don't drive it when I'm on vacation or using my wife's car.

The battery is a duralast from autozone. When I get in the car, I depress the brake, then push the starter button. I don't wait a specific time, but I haven't changed my routine. The delay is in the motor catching and starting, not the time before it starts cranking. It is not long but...

Not voltmeter, gauge on dash prior to actually starting.

The battery reads 11.5v before starting. It takes about 1 second to start, not long, but longer than it used to.

Thanks, but I had the plugs replaced at the 60k service.

My 2015 GT convertible with 77k miles has been taking longer to start in the mornings. I live in AL and the car is in my garage all night so I don't think it is the cold weather. It has always started, but it used to start almost instantly when the starter button was pushed, now it takes a few...

I have run mine through all sorts of car washes at least twice a month since I bought it in 2015. No leaks or damage to the top or antenna. There are fine scratches on the clear coat, but you have to look in the right light to notice it. I’ll take those over the dirt any day.

I think ICE cars will eventually become like fine mechanical watches. Most people will be totally happy with the cheaper and reliable quartz watch/EV, but there will be a smaller but dedicated group who will appreciate the engineering and precision of a finely made machine and will continue to...

The front seat valance (trim part on the lower side of the seat)on my 2015 GT premium convertible broke without any apparent cause. I heard a rattle from the floor when I went over a bump and when I got out the front of the valence was loose. It was easy to replace but I don’t know what caused...

When I bought my GT in May of 2015 , I was concerned about using 87 octane although that is what the owners manual and the gas door sticker said was all that was needed. So I did an extensive experiment running the car on all three grades (87, 89 and 91) that are available where I live. I ran...

I can’t tell for sure from your pic but it looks like they are detached. When they both are out it looks normal (maybe even better). i noticed min because only one came loose and it was asymmetrical. When they are attached the window vibrations are greatly reduced.

The support struts should be visible where they attach to the window. If the both have come loose it will look normal but the window is not supported properly and will vibrate excessively.

Check the support bracket on either side of the rear window. They were a problem for some early convertibles (like mine). They fall out of the attachment to the window and the rear window vibrates a lot with the side windows down. I had mine fixed by the dealer when my car was under warranty.

55k on my '15. AC fixed a couple of years ago, ok now. Hood replaced due to corrosion on leading edge at 50k, convertible top struts repaired within the first year, no trouble since. It is my DD and occasional trip car.
