  1. How do your store your service history?

    I keep hardcopies in a folder, but Mrs updates a quick spreadsheet with the "what, when and how much." The spreadsheet is quicker to search when you want to look up something. We have three cars, two of which are over 10 yrs old, so this helps keep things straight.
  2. What’s this thing?

    Here's a link the the class action suit against GM sharing their information to Lexis Nexis Risk Mgt who then shares it with insurance companies. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/03/14/business/chicco-vs-gm-lexisnexis.html?searchResultPosition=1 I read an article that Ford and others...
  3. First Mustang (Help needed)

    If this is your first V8, your biggest concern should be avoiding being a YouTube star for not being able to handle the power. There's plenty of power (and fun). Test it incrementally, and on dry pavement.
  4. First time putting a car away for winter, what is needed?

    Maybe don't pack it away. I live in NoVA. Winters here have been pretty mild. I drive my convertible daily throughout the year, but I have all-season tires. They say there might be some snow this year, in which case you might want to stay off the roads while they're salting and brining.
  5. People flashing lights at nighttime.

    maybe the opposite? I see way too many people driving around in the dark with their lights off and don't know it. I'll try to signal to them by turning my lights off and on (not flash). The fact that dashes are continually lit and most cars have some sort of day-time headlight keeps people...
  6. Anyone regret buying a ragtop vs a coupe?

    No regrets. I've had convertibles most of my life as daily drivers. When it's hot I blast the A/C and vented seats. When it's cold I blast the heat and turn on the heated seats. My MGB didn't have either, so I suffered for the 20 yrs I drove that. Windows stay DOWN. I guess it depends on...
  7. Do you think an acorn did this? Dimple on top of trunk

    I live in Virginia. Looks like an acorn to me. I've been lucky with my Mustang, but my other car has several such dings on the roof.
  8. What to do with my mustang ecoboost. Young driver needs help.

    As a former 17 yr old, keep the car stock. There's already enough power and performance for anything you need to do. Plus, you need to develop some experience and judgement and survive the next couple of years. (I totaled a '69 442 at age 17, so I speak from experience.) Also, try to do some...
  9. KN air filter in stock air box

    I used a K&N filter. I intend to keep the car, so thought the math would work for me over disposable filters.
  10. Wheel downsizing

    My 2019 GT convertible came OEM with 235/50/18 on each corner. I don't aim for potholes, but I don't fear them either.
  11. Won't be driving the Mach 1 for a very long time.

    Hey. How's recovery going?
  12. Not sure what I think about this?? Mid engine Mustang?

    I'd like to see the Mustang get smaller and lighter. Maybe about the size of the early 90s BMWs. Tight yet still with a semi functional rear seat.
  13. Transport mountain bike

    The Saris rack fits most cars and easily clears spoilers and such. The bad part is the rack depends on resting the weight on the bumper or some other flat spot, so you will eventually scratch that surface. That's why I installed a hitch. https://saris.com/products/bones-2-bike
  14. Tire recommendations

    My GT convertible is a daily driver. Mostly cruising with a few "jack rabbit starts". No racing. No track. Stock 18" wheels. My OEM all-season Pirellis made it almost 30K. They were loud and not very good in the wet. I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle Sports. Much better in the wet and...
  15. Using Maps/Sync3?

    I use android auto a lot with google maps. I've had issues trying to find the local store if my location settings on my phone are turned are off. The phone needs to be connected to the car via cable. I have had good success with pushing the prompt button on the wheel (the button on the upper...
  16. mirror mount dash cam kit

    Another guy on this forum has used the Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (link to Amazon) to tap into the power at the mirror...
  17. Planning a road trip, need advice

    I want to get out that way. At the risk of highjacking this thread, I'm interested in comments on Route 50 in that area. I'm in Virginia. I've been tempted to drive the length of 50 across the country. I've done some snooping on Google street view through portions of eastern and central CO...
  18. AI generated image of a Mustang

    none of these AI-generated cars show a driver! have the AI assumed they've taken over entirely and these are all autonomous vehicles?! Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
  19. Old guy Mustang questions.

    I've driven my 2019 GT convertible across country twice. No one NEEDs a V8, but you'll love the sound. I have the standard exhaust and love the sound (I think the active exhaust would have been too much for me). Gas mileage will take a HUGE hit if you drive 80 mph with the top down. I drove...
  20. My complicated relationship with the clay bar

    For tar, I've had good luck with lemon oil (the "food grade" kind at grocery and beauty supply stores) and a cloth rag.
