When my initial trial ran out back in June, I called to cancel and they offered me an "introductory offer" - 6 months for 29 bucks. That seemed like a pretty good deal, since I was averaging over 2,000 miles per month - a lot of it in places where tracking down a decent radio station was a minor...

I noticed on the way to a meeting today that I have hit 500 hours of drive time, since picking my car up on 11/25/2014. I have managed to not ever reset the Trip 2 display, so I have cumulative data from day one. I feel like this would be a good opportunity to share my long term impressions...

....Did a little figuring, and calculated that I have had the car 171 days, which works out to an average of a little over 70 miles for every single day that I have owned it. Subtract from that the 85 days during that time where I didn't drive it at all (parked at airport, etc).... That...

Driving up the Interstate to a meeting in Seattle. As I come into Olympia, the speed limit drops from 70 to 60 - and right at that spot, there is a State Patrol trooper on the right shoulder with a car pulled over. I check the speed on my GPS - 71, no sweat. I bump the cruise down to 62 and...

It really seems weird to me. I know that people are buying them, my local dealer has different ones every time I am there, but I am not seeing them on the street. I am not keeping track on purpose, but since I bought mine at Thanksgiving, I have only seen 5 on the road (not counting mine)...

Saw some smoke up ahead, on the other side of the freeway. Got a little closer and saw that it was a car hauler, and it looked like the brakes or tires on the driver's side of the trailer were on fire. You can see the flames in one of the pics. Got a little closer and noticed That it had a...

I wasn't sure where to put this, or even if it would be of use to anyone other than myself. I have noticed many times that someone would post a question, and the reply would be that the setting was available in the "Center Display". Well, there is a lot of stuff in the center display, so I...

Thought it might be fun to share our automotive evolution. My list is fairly extensive, but kind of pitiful, too. I limited it to the street-legal ones. Keep in mind that this spans from 1984 to now, in more or less chronological order. The motorcycles almost always overlapped one or more...

So, back in October, my dealer ordered my car for me. By the end of November it was clear that my car wasn't going to make it in by the end of the year, and I was going to lose out on some incentives as a result. Just before Thanksgiving, the dealer had a car on the lot which was similar to...

I know that this has come up several times, in different formats, but I wanted to share my experience. I have a GT with the 50th appearance package, auto, and 3.55. I had to drive about 275 miles of interstate yesterday, with about half into a strong headwind. Today, I came home, with...

Found a weird thing on my car this morning... I noticed that the passenger side wiper blade was not wiping near the top of the windshield, behind the rearview mirror. When I looked closely at it, I could see that the pin that the arm pivots on doesn't seem to be installed correctly. It...

Dropped it off this morning to get Formula One Pinnacle 30% on everything but the windshield. I drive too much to not keep stuff like that legal... Ought to look sweet over Ruby Red! :brokenheart:

So, I was following my wife home this evening, just after dark. When we got to the house, she asked me if I knew that the fog lights turn off while my turn signal is on? They don't both turn off.... Just the one on the turn signal side. So, if I am making a left turn, my right fog light is on...

So far, I am finding the outgoing sound quality on the BT phone link to be unusable at highway speeds. Has anyone found a way to make this better? Essentially it appears that road noise is flooding the outbound link, so I can hear my callers fine, but they either get road noise roar or sound...

Well, technically, not my car. But I bought it, so I guess it's my car now. A little background: My sales guy took the liberty of placing an order for me shortly after I told him that I was putting my current Mustang up for sale, back at the beginning of October. I sold my car on Halloween...

I know that there are a ton of these, so I will keep it brief. Today I went to my dealer to order a Ruby Red GT, and wound up looking at and driving a Guard V6. I had no intention of buying it, but my sales guy loves to go on test drives... I am coming from a 2006 V6 Premium which I bought...

Since I sold my 2006 on Friday, I figured it was time to place the order for the 2015. I have talked to my sales guy a couple of times about it since back in April or May, so he knew that I would be coming in at some point. When I got there today though, he wouldn't allow me to order a car...

Now that I have sold my 2006, I went to see my guy at Vancouver Ford today to start the ball rolling on a 2015. As luck would have it, they had one 2015 in stock - a V6 Guard with a manual transmission. It is a complete base model, with not a single option on it. X-Plan price is $23,662...

I am not sure how I feel! I wanted to sell my 2006 before ordering the new one, so I posted it on Craigslist. After almost 3 weeks of cranks and lowballers I got my asking price for it. It was a Redfire 2006 V6 Premium that I bought brand new on December 26, 2005. For almost 9 years I...
