Same here in Broward County - no regrets. If it's not raining the top is down so I can properly hear the Roush exhaust. Garage kept which mitigates wear & tear. Too hot in August? Nope, just blast the A/C and ventilated seats and get some color on your face. Now we're getting into the...

Also, Tylenol for my back :wink: (actually lying on a concrete floor face up helps)

So just to confirm the physics, assuming the speedo is based on wheel rotational rate... At a given "actual speed" if the the tire diameter increases, the wheel is spinning slower compared to a smaller tire diameter, hence the speedo will read slower. Bigger tire = slower speedo read. Smaller...

Oil changed in my garage every 5K miles like clockwork on all my cars for 30 years, well over 100 times: Recurring costs: $32 for (2) 5-quart jugs of Kirkland 5W-30 full synthetic $12 for Motorcraft filter $3 Ford twist-on drain plug $1.16 per Miller Lite 16 oz can, ice cold...

C3 Corvette is the car I've lusted over since I was a kid - unobtanium for years now, especially the early high-HP ones. Always new I would get something powerful. Purchased my first Mustang in Oct 2018 for $30K - a mint '18 GT Premium Vert with a clean Carfax and 16K miles. Wise purchase at...

Scored this bargain 4 years back on sale at Lowes for $32. Strong at 600 CFM. I prefer corded - all I use it for is the car. https://www.worx.com/turbine-600-electric-leaf-blower-wg520.html .

Soulja4187, I am also in South FL and I concur that the NT555G2 is dangerous, especially in the rain. Mine are 50% worn on all 4 corners and pretty much done from a safety concern. With rain on the turnpike or 95, I am afraid to go over 60mph. Indy 500's next, and soon.

Best now by a long shot. The Dodge years were a dark and loathsome time. I won't even go into my wife and kids' cars. 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, driven '83-'89 1983 Mazda 626, driven '89-'90 1990 Mazda Protege, driven '90-'95 1995 Dodge Intrepid, driven '95-'05 2004 Infiniti G35, driven...

Agree on the Nitto 555 G2's in the rain on my '18 GT, 305 rears 285 fronts. Mine are 50% worn and scary dangerous in the rain. Nobody else is allowed to drive it. Regret buying them and will likely replace with Indy 500's.

Under 70 with the top down gives me the shivers. Heated seats to the rescue.

Love the delight on my kids' faces when I gun the Roush axle-back under a wide overpass with the top down. Don't love when my wife rolls her eyes in the same scenario.

Admittedly, I have some homework to do for determining if a downgrade is possible. I'll probably just learn to live with it, but having to stop the car to change albums/artists is stupid. Worst case I can always switch to Bluetooth-piped music sourced from my Plex server.

Thanks, but I already have my hands full with my future ex-wife. :facepalm:

I'm aware that I like Ford's 2018 infotainment software version better than their 2020 version and will be downgrading.

FYI, from cyanlabs.net I updated my 2018/Nav from 3.0.19205 to 3.4.20282. Got the new blue screen but don't notice any performance improvements to the interface. Bad thing is legal nannys got more intrusive, not letting me browse my USB/MP3 collection as freely while car is moving unlike...

Will check them out. Thanks, Grahame.

Thanks, ordered the 4-piston fronts.

Chris, thanks for the info and the driveby invite for a listen, but I'm a bit far away in the Fort Lauderdale area. From your description, I just have to decide if I want to test my neighbor's patience with the "new" sound :curse: but very tempting. Great idea on the bracketry for swapping...

Getting ready for my first brake pad replacement. The Powerstop Z26 front pads show part Z26-1784 for 4-piston or part Z26-1792 for 6-piston. For the rear pads, there is only one part Z26-1793. Short of a physical inspection, how do I determine which front brake pads fit my car? Is 6-piston...
