My job requires me to drive between Houston, Dallas, Austin Beaumont and San Antonio at least once a month. I used to fly SWA but then security and delays got to be too much of a hassle so I opted to expense out the mileage and drive it. That's a lot of hours in a car so I opt to drive something...

A friend of mine was passing through the Alamo city and spotted Merc getting pulled over by a plain silver V6. It has non-exempt plates and an abbreviated lighting package. Unmarked cars are not specifically illegal in Texas but they aren't exactly legal either. They fall in to the category of...

A Ford dealer installed these wheel spacers and now I want to take them off. The lugs were on so tight I suspect they must have put loctite on them I highly doubt the wheel stud would have held to the pressure I was having to apply to remove them. I was concerned enough about rounding the lugs I...

My Mustang is officially out of warranty so I'm taking over the service and maintenance. I got the manual but it doesn't have service intervals. I've looked around on here looking for a maintenance checklist with service intervals. Does anyone have anything like that? Or point me to a...

If there is a large truck or SUV sitting next to me at a stoplight and blocking my view of the cross street, I'm going to wait until the Truck/SUV goes before I go. I'm not pulling out blind into an intersection so don't lay on the horn like I'm asleep or something. If I could nudge ahead...

I've run around two ladders and a couch since I've owned this car but got hit by road debris today. Got nailed by what appeared to be the lid of an igloo ice chest that flew out of the bed off a pickup truck. Think I can wet sand this out? The headlight has a crack so I'm considering just...

A friend tells me they have three. Targeting night time traffic enforcement around high accident areas of the city. They appear to be base GTs. http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/news/crime-and-courts/2017-06-03/lubbock-police-purchase-ford-mustangs-ensure-traffic

Rural town South of Houston had a cop posted just behind one of those speed signs. Nothing more embarrassing than trying to explain to a cop you weren't speeding when you just passed the sign that said you were speeding. He had his window down so I'm guessing he was post checking with Lidar...

We just got word there is a strong possibility of heavy hail here at our office and my Mustang is sitting out in the parking lot exposed to the elements. I'd considered taking a sick day when the news said bad storms were coming through today but then I thought "stop being a ***** and go to...

I thought this was kind of cool, two of HPD Camaro's working the SW freeway bagged an AMG Mercedes. I've never seen Houston PD running these bitches together. [ame]

I don't like sending my car out to get detailed by other people, it's a job I've traditionally done myself because A. I like to do it B. I do a better job. C. It's free when I do it. Up until last year I worked close to home and could take the metro to work but now that they moved us...

I was running rabbit for a friend of mine for some high speed runs last weekend then afterwards we stopped for a bite and he commented on the burning clutch smell that was coming from my car. I figured that was normal if your run a vehicle at top speed. He said, he doesn't think it is normal...

A couple of months ago I was at a patio bar and the valets reverse parked me and a friends S550 Mustang in front of the bar. Some dude walking down the street stopped and snapped a pic of our two cars parked side by side. Then today during lunch I saw a guy walking out to his car stop and...

I was in Austin earlier this week and a Moto cop pulled next to me at a stop light and beeped his siren at me. I looked over and he just smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I assume he's a fellow S550 owner so cheers to that dude.

I didn't see a thread on this subject so I figured I would post here for future searches. My car wouldn't start a few weeks ago. It was acting like the clutch pedal sensor was bad. It would refuse to start and display the "depress clutch" message even when the clutch was all the way in until...

I found a few threads on the subject but nothing specific to Texas. Post any fun routes you've either encountered or know about already. I went to Enchanted Rock Saturday which puts me on one of my favorite roads HWY 965 but of course on a Saturday it was a little crowded but still had...

Install of ALP's parking sensors. ALP comes with a CPU you have to stash somewhere out of site, a controller, a dash light and four sensors. http://i.imgur.com/CeF9f0B.jpg I removed the following inside panels: Rear truck panel Passenger rear quarter panel Passenger lower door sill...

Adam Corolla's latest cinema automobilistico finally has a trailer. Looks good! [ame]

I got this nasty crack on my windshield I'd like to get fixed. The rates I'm getting on this are around $450 to $600. Does this sound consistent with what you guys are getting?
