A question for the forum moderators: Would you please tell us why DougS550 got banned?
There have been more than a few account bans recently.
Please tell us why.
Thank you...
So many suspension videos talk about one or maybe two parts and then show only those parts, while holding in the hand, or very limited view under the car.
This is a great video because of its completeness. It shows the entire rear subframe (minus shocks and springs).
Here the subframe is out...
I am curious to learn what people here think about this, specifically as it applies to the Mustang: daily driving, autocross, track.
I have copied a few key highlights from this Motor Trend article https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/modp-1104-the-bump-stops-here/
The bump stop is probably the...
This article on Autoblog started me thinking. What are the best driving roads for a Mustang in your state (not just scenic, but curvy)?

I do not know many in Michigan but one of the best is M-119 from Harbor Springs to Cross...

I am working on a simple Google Sheets calculator for ride frequency. I found a simple formula here:

I am not going to buy a GT500, but I was just looking at the Ford web site for GT500's within 50 miles and found 12 of them, including a few Track Pack models. I thought these were all sold out?
Anyone looking to buy but can't find one near you?
I found this article from Autoblog to be very educational.

Here are some simple, yet effective instructions from a professional, in what he says will be a series of articles. His work for Autoblog speaks for itself. I visit Autoblog almost every day, I think it is a great website.

I have seen really low prices at Costco for the last few weeks. This explains why.
..............Q4-2019 .... Q4-2018 Change....... 2019 ......... 2018...... Change
Mustang 17,124 ..... 14,223 ..... 20.4% ....... 72,489 ..... 75,842 .... -4.4%
Fourth-quarter numbers are surprising to me. Also a year-over-year decline of 4.4% seams ok, not bad but still not good.

I like it for my car, I just was probably not going to pay for it after the two-year included service.

Some news for people interested in the new 10 speed automatic transmission.
"The Dearborn automaker said it will invest $1.4 billion and create or retain 500 jobs at its Livonia Transmission Plant for the development of a new 10-speed transmission that will debut on the 2017 F-150 Raptor."...
I spoke to a few of my engineer friends over the last few weeks about the 10R80 transmission. This is the 10 speed rear wheel drive automatic transmission project Ford is collaborating with GM on.
As of now, the plan is it be on the 2017 Mustang, and the 2017 F150.
