  1. I Did a Bad Bad Thing !!

    It's the Tex Mex word for bee, wasp, hornet. Had that plate on my zinc yellow 2003 Terminator convertible.
  2. I Did a Bad Bad Thing !!

    Checked Alabama's vanity plate site and it looks like my screen name AVISPA is taken. Too bad. That car is perfect for it. I bet your wife likes it. It's a beauty!
  3. New or used

    That car was worth the drive!
  4. New or used

    Absolutely! I looked around for about a year until I found this 16 GT convertible on a Ford dealer used car lot. VMP charger and a whole bunch of other stuff already on the car. Not much more than a stock GT same year and mileage.
  5. Surging Issue

    If you can, try putting the stock tune back in. Mine does something similar, it blips about 50 RPM in 6th when the converter is supposed to be locked, at light part throttle. Have several different tunes, and the ones from VMP have the "surging" problem.
  6. RUST!!!!!!

    Maybe this will be helpful: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2014/03/12/a-conversion-guide-to-british-auto-terminology RUST, thankfully needs no translation. Good that Ford took care of it for you. So far no rust on the '16, and I'm in a beach town as well.
  7. How old are the "seniors" (over 65) on this forum?

    Yes. Yes we do. So do our old cars. Not that we don't like our S550s.
  8. Which Car(s) do you regret getting rid off

    1965 Corvette convertible. A mongrel, it was assembled too early in the model year to have been a real big block car, but it had a 427 in it. Used it for several years as the DD. Everything worked perfectly. Did some suspension mods on it so it felt almost like a modern car. Sold it way too...
  9. Back home in Florida

    Moved here from TX in 2019. Was decent the first couple of years. Now homeowners is 6x what I paid the first year. Doubled in 22, doubled again this year. It's my only complaint. Get much more top down time here than anywhere I lived in TX.
  10. Convert boot side cover panel

    Boot? That's not a boot. This is a boot. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mustang-Convertible-Top-Boot-Padded-with-Snaps-1967-Black-TMI/181640171092 Took forever to put those things on. A dozen or more snaps, and if it wasn't warm outside, all the more fun trying to stretch it over the top well...
  11. Lost power after 2nd gear pull, fan started blowing loud air even when engine is turned off

    Fan on after the ignition is shut off drives me batty. Have the same thing as the OP happen from time to time. Cycling the power on/off usually kills the fan. These damn cars eat batteries fast enough as it is. They don't need 15 Amp fan motors making things worse.
  12. Snow Stangs Thread: Picture Edition 📸

    Was feeling all down in the dumps from my new homeowners insurance bill (hurricane Ian did quite a job) thinking maybe FL wasn't such a good idea. Then you guys posted all these nice pics of .....something if I never see it again it'll be too soon!!! Lmao!! Thanks, guys you made my week!
  13. What is the Fastest Speed You Have Reached, and for How Long?

    Yeah, I gotta second that on the MKZ. Damn kid driving one o those being a smart a$$ pulling away from a light, driving the yellow Terminator. It had been Whippled already by that point. That damn SUV wasn't a cakewalk. A serious WTF from a Terminator owner. I had to look up the MKZ on line to...
  14. Modded Vert?

    650+ to the wheels (have a VMP 2.3 blowing about 12 to 12#) is a non issue for the chassis. Getting back tires to stick is another matter. Do the blower. Don't bother with E85 for mid 600s at the wheels. Makes a fuel availability problem you just don't need for what you want.
  15. What is the Fastest Speed You Have Reached, and for How Long?

    Right at 140 in my 65 vette convertible. Not for very long. The front bow on the top started lifting off the windshield header and it scared the $%#%! out of me. I meant to try again with the top down but never did.
  16. Why do I use dash cameras?

    I'm laffin my head off here, wondering if anyone else remembered MDC cops or what gonad busters the Dedham cops could be.:crackup:
  17. Why do I use dash cameras?

    I guess I could tell you a few 1970s vintage stories about my loud 66 Chevelle and my louder 69 Camaro being a regular target of MDC cops, Dedham cops and Registry cops, but that might be boring....lol
  18. Challenger outsold Mustang again. Worst Mustang sales ever.

    Not since the S197 came out, at least the way you meant it, advertising the car's performance.
  19. Saw a Mustang with a Montana plate today in Massachusetts

    Don't put tape over the LIVE FREE OR DIE slogan. Some guy tried that about 45 years ago and created quite a ruckus. Then again. Gov. Thompson jailed 1400 protestors at the site of the Seabrook power plant for trespassing. "What are you gonna do, arrest all of us?" "Yes." That and he arrested...
  20. Why would you buy a USED Mustang?

    Because the first owner takes it in the shorts on depreciation for one thong. For another, I bought the 16 with a VMP 2.3 already installed and tuned. Only paid what an unmodded 16 GT convertible would have cost. To summarize, you get value for a good price by buying used.
