Been wanting to test drive a Plaid. Iām kinda afraid too, though, since Iām sure Iāll want one then. At least you can actually get a Plaid and not have to pay an obscene ADM. I recently contacted a dealer about a 21 GT500. They had a 3k ADM advertised. When I contacted them, the ADM went up...
They will pay for more than 10 days if the car is still in for repairs. Just takes some hell raising by the dealer with the esp f*ckers. You can get enhanced rental where theyāll pay $60 a day. Of course, I have it on my super duty, but I still ended up with a damn escape last time I had my it...
I feel your pain. Itās the same here. Our Raptor had the common cam phaser failure a few months ago. It took 3 weeks just to get an appointment for them to verify the concern and order the parts. It took another 5 weeks to actually get the appointment for the repair. They got pretty noisy by...
I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me. I had a relationship with a local dealer and was #1 for an MSRP allocation. The dealer was recently bought out, and nobody will even return my calls now. Iām one of the hand raisers at Granger, but unless several people drop out or Granger gets at...
Glad you had a good experience with them. I have sold multiple cars to Carvana and Carmax myself. I have submitted two Mustangs to Vroom, a 2012 GT and a 2018 GT vert, but the offers were extremely lowball. I got significantly more with Carmax. I sold my 2016 SHO and my 2006 F250 to Carvana...
Thanks for the reply, Zack. I was wondering how that would play out for the GT500 orders with the super tight availability. It really sucks that any orders had to be cancelled, but at least it looks like Ford is trying to make it right.
Zach, I have a question about the GT500s that got cancelled. Since you have very limited allocations, do the cancelled 21 GT500 orders take precedence for your 22 allocations? Or does Ford just roll the cancelled 21 allocations over to 22? What Iām wondering is say youāre getting 4 GT500...
Iām in line for an allocation but havenāt heard anything yet. Really crossing my fingers a couple people already found cars or back out for other reasons since my backup for an MSRP allocation went bye bye when my local dealer was bought out.
Noticed youāre in Houston. The wife and I will be...
Iām not sure what triggers the card. It must be the number of times your vehicle has been in for service, not the time. We just got the card for our 2019 F250. It was in about 5 times between the recalls for the steering stabilizer, headlights, seat belt pretensioners, and tailgate random...

I donāt have specific experience with a 2020 Mustang, but I have quite a bit with other Fords with the so called B&O system. In every case, if the amp looks like the one...
The TWK-88 is a great unit. Iāve used it and the D8 in several cars. The fix 86 has the automatic built in adjustment, though, so you kill 2 birds with one stone, and itās a simpler solution for most people. I know about the forscan hack. Iāve tried it on other Fords, but Iām not totally...
The 9 speaker system is analog. The ap4-fd21 intercepts the digital signal before it goes into the factory DSP/amp on the Sony, Revel, and some B&O applications. . For your application, I would highly recommend the JL Audio Fix 86. Itās a high quality line output converter and DSP in one unit...
The signal has to be converted back to analog in order to be amplified, even in the JL Vx amps. The biggest advantage to the optical connection is noise rejection. I have used this module in several Fords and changed over from analog RCAs to the optical connection in one. The noise floor was...
Kellys has been around since the early 80s but I think the one in Pasadena opened in the 90s. If youāre ever in the Houston area, I highly recommend trying it. There are locations all over.
Small world. My dad lives in La Porte. I stay at his house when working down there and drive through Deer Park nearly every day to pig out at Kellyās. Gotta love those monster chicken fried steaks.
My dad is from Jennings, and I have tons of family in Lake Charles, so I know Louisiana well too.
Good move. I wish I didnāt live here. My dad lives near
Houston and his plates are like 70 bucks a year, and no state income tax. Hopefully will be moving to Texas in the next year or so myself for work. Once we donāt get eaten alive in taxes, maybe weāll add a few more mustangs to the...
Kentucky is even worse. We have 6% sales tax, but we have to pay an ad valorem property tax every year. Our last bill was almost 2k for 3 cars. We have to pay that every year. And if you owned a vehicle on Jan 1 of the year and sold it Jan 2, you have to pay the whole years taxes. We sold our...
Grabber Lime wouldnāt be my first choice, but I could definitely live with it. I was seriously tempted to bid on that car though. I just remember sitting in a GT with Recaros at the dealer, and it felt like I was sitting on a couple 2x4s.
Weāre on several dealersā lists for a 22 allocation...
Lol. Donāt even have the creamsicle anymore. The wife picked that color. We sold it to make room for a GT500.
I really need to look into changing my handle.
