  1. How popular would a 2018 version of an "LX 5.0" be today?

    the fox body hatches actually were heavier than the notchbacks. one of the reasons highway patrols used notch backs. but that weight savings was actually minimal, probably less than 100 lbs.
  2. How is an accident reported to CarFax?

    I stopped looking at carfax years ago after the wife's lexus was sideswiped taking out every panel except the front fender. dealer fixed it under our insurance. sold it years later with a clean carfax. right there and then, knew carfax was pretty much useless.
  3. Do you change your own oil?

    I do all of my oil/maintenance on all of my equipment: cars, log splitter, mower, tractor, motorcycles etc. rather than looking at it as a required chore I see it as a owner's responsibility and bonding time with my equipment so I know them like the back of my hand. each maintenance session is...
  4. S550 Body Style Opinions

    To me, the S550 has always had a similar feel as the 1969 mustangs. both look, low, and mean. Add a few modern touches and there you have it.
  5. Resale value....ouch

    I think most performance specific cars are terrible for resale. Pretty much why I'm driving my GT like I stole it. would hate to try to sell it in 5 years and never have enjoyed it just to get a 1-2 thousand more in value.
  6. Are these panel gaps acceptable

    If I didn't see my mustang roll of the delivery truck myself, I would have thought the thing was impounded, taken apart to check for drugs and put back together for a police auction. although, I've owned worse. my 09 G8 GT front fascia started drooping so much that what was a 1/8 inch body...
  7. How many miles on your new car when you picked it up?

    less than 2 miles, watched it get unloaded off the truck. then put 10 miles on it for a test drive before signing.
  8. Grill Fog Lights

    the quality of the final product is awesome! I personally like the lights. I would PAY for that option. or if you're willing to start production.....
  9. My 15GT is ruined :( Go for a GT350 or boosted GT?

    I say GT350. BUT.... playing devils advocate.... I'll probably get flamed, banned, etc.... maybe consider a non-mustang? I love my mustang GT but considering the great American naturally aspirated V8s are pretty much a dying breed, maybe try driving a different car before they are no longer...
  10. Top In Town Gear

    I think 4th/5th around town. I have the Performance Pack and even at 65 mph 6th feels a little tough. 70+ and 6th starts feeling right.
  11. What did you buy on Black Friday

    a new Campbell Hausfeld CE7050 2 stage compressor for my shop. In the middle of a frame off 67 chevelle restoration and my old compressor crapped out. I feel so decadent. Last Christmas, I got a Mustang GT. Merry Christmas to me....
  12. Got pulled over today, amusing story

    California plates stay on the car for the lifetime of the car. That was a weird concept for me being originally from NY. there, I moved my plates from car to car. I must be assimilating to left coast culture because now the plates staying on the car makes total sense to me....
  13. Got pulled over today, amusing story

    I'm sure the reason he pulled me over was because I'm in a Mustang with an exhaust. BUT not intentionally instead, subconsciously. He even commented on "really nice car!" So my meaning, if I were in beige Camry, I probably would have gone un-noticed. You have to admit, there is probably more...
  14. Got pulled over today, amusing story

    Its probably more common than not. Just the first time it happened to me in 30 years of driving, I thought it was funny. Can't get mad at that stuff. For what the LEOs do for the community on a daily basis, you gotta let them have a few oopsies here and there.
  15. Got pulled over today, amusing story

    So I was coming home from work this morning and there's a Sherriff cruiser behind me. He's following me for a few miles, I'm at or alittle over the speed limit, keeping up with traffic. he then pulls me over and asks if I know why he pulled me over. I say no I do not. I'm told my registration...
  16. Got rear ended today

    there should be a swift and harsh punishment for uninsured dirt bags. I doubt the rear ender will cough up any money but anyway, I hope it all works out in the end. I did just that, moved out of the city. unfortunately, not far enough. over the last 5 years, the city has moved out to find...
  17. Tuning illegal in California

    I had a retailer sell me a tuner in 2010. so in 2014, when I got a new vehicle, tried to get a tuner over the internet, same retailer. No longer ships tuners to California. tried several other web retailers, no go. So I contacted the tuner company directly and they sold me one through their...
  18. GT is gone and I couldnt be happier

    If you are one of the lucky ones who has a great dealer service department, then this is my question too. but if it's been anything like my dealings with warrantee issues, it's not fear, it's frustration. it's not just ford either, its imports and other US makes. I used to take my vehicles in...
  19. GT is gone and I couldnt be happier

    it was a 2007 Tundra 5.7 V8 4x4 with a 4.30 rear end, first year for the BIG tundras. when it worked, it towed and hauled like nobody's business. I bought it because my previous 4 runner and Tacoma were pretty near perfect and I needed a full size truck. New off the dealer lot so not a beat up...
  20. Pretty disappointed with new 17 GT buy

    I'm sure I'll get flamed for this by someone but why is it that American brands all have a noticeable decreased quality in fit and finish? it's anecdotal but my mustang has random rattles too, the front fender doesn't line up with the door, rear bumper also has a poor fit, almost as if it's...
