I grew up near the Greek church on Oakland Ave. I actually live off Atwood Ave now. Up near Rossi's tree farm.

- 2022 Mustang GT with Performance Package.
SEMPER FI!!!! Retired CWO4 here. Fellow Mustang owner! Been to Thailand numerous times, have enjoyed the local "flora and fauna" as they say!!Hi folks. I just got my 22 GT Premium. No performance pack as Thailand seems to have it's own version with has nothing to do with performance. It seems they ah "forgot" to change the specs until a months ago. I'm a long time expat or as some of the later comers to Thailand would say sexpat. I have family over in Lao. Divorced from Thai wife.
So far happy with the Stang, only have a bit over 400 km. so far. I'll be having the performance pkg. put on piece by piece as needed and magaride, the roads here are not exactly smooth. I have the largest speed shop in Udon, called Udorn during the American war in Lao, to do aftermarket parts. Hopefully next fall as it "cools" I'll have it ready for the strip. Trying to stay basically stock and also run ET. Yes Thailand has dragstrips. Bangkok has the largest. No racing now, too hot, over 100F for a couple of weeks. This will be my last go round at 78 and I want back in the game while I am still good to go.
Hope to run into you over there sometime!!

Hello to all!
Retired career LE, CJ, HRS professional. Worked for my State (MI) for 26 years, and contracted out to one or another division of DoS and DoD; in a variety of third world garden spots; on and off for 10 years after that.
1st car: 1969 SS396 Nova with the L78 solid lifter motor (because adjusting your valve lash every 2500mi is fun).
2nd car: 1970 SS454 Chevelle with the LS6 solid lifter motor (didn't learn much from the Nova experience).
Fast forward: Just traded my 2016 Focus RS in on Thursday 4/25/24, on a 2024 Red Tint Coat Mustang GT! I intended to order one through my local Ford Dealer but they told me build/delivery time was 6-8 months?!
So I bought the one they had on the lot. I was going to order the RTC color anyway so that was cool, and I like the 10 spd DTC more than I thought I would. Really bummed it didn't have the Recaros, and there's no CD player!
Hoping to pick some great Mustang tips and tricks from you folks!

Sure! Glad to help!
Honest officer! My foot slipped off the clutch (don't use if driving an auto!)
Say! Is that a Blackhawk gun belt? My cousin/son/uncle/niece uses one on their job with the fill in the blank PD/Sheriff's Dept. This is a distraction/diversion technique. You better be able to talk gear/uniform/gun smack like a Pro though.
Burst into tears and claim you're upset over death in the family /pet died/ the current prevalence of hunger in the world. World class acting skills required.
Urinate or vomit on yourself. DON'T! Get any on the officer!
Hi, Officer! Wiley Marmot said to tell you I'm a close personal friend of his!
Do you know who the I am?! Be cautious using this one as it's definitely a "Monopoly Response". e.g. Improperly employed; you'll go straight to jail, you won't pass go, and the only $200 involved will be you making bail (maybe)!

Recently retired, I’m thinking of getting an inexpensive steed for track days. 25 years ago I did numerous track days on two wheels, but maybe my bones are a little too brittle for that at age 69. 
Please do share your hints for cheap 4-wheel fun on asphalt in the vicinity of Charlotte, NC. My last 20 years have been totally consumed with career/wife, but I am free of both now
so am trying to get up to speed on what’s what in the pony car arena these days. Maybe I’m better off buying a beater Miata and running it at Carolina Motorsports Park? But I definitely prefer the sound of a throaty V8!
FWIW, I grew up on a farm in northeastern Pennsylvania, maintaining Farmall Ms, etc. and welding up a go kart frame to fit a Honda 160 at age 14. I worked as a boilermaker/welder for 10 years after high school and then went back to college to get my mechanical engineering degree. At Cornell, with honors.
Don’t worry, from my blue collar years I clearly remember rightfully cursing all the stupid crap that the engineers did! And from my white collar years, I can tell you that in most cases, management made the engineers do it!

Hello, about a month ago I purchased a black 2016 Mustang convertible base model V6. I've got a thread around here somewhere about upgrading the infotainment unit to an 8" Sync 3. It just needs to stop raining so I can start. There is also an impressive number of paint chips that will have to be dealt with. I don't think the prior owner took proper care of the car. It has what I assume to be an aftermarket exhaust system that is far too loud. I will have to see about taking that down a notch or two. This is my first Mustang, but not my first Ford. I've had 2 Fiesta STs and I also have a Lincoln.

Hello from ohio, picked up a 2017 GT basket case last September. Dealership was going to put it through auction I begged them not to an offered to buy it as is with Contingencies. Long story short it would not start and had no dummy codes stored for lazy techs at a very large dealership to figure out what was wrong. I Said as long as it passed a compression test I'd buy it. It passed with flying colors. So I paid practically nothing for the car. Walked across the street to O'reilly's grabbed a $37. Crank sensor walked back over popped it in 30 minutes later and it fired right up an I drove her home I got a boosted 5.0 for less than a fiesta because over paid techs at a new car dealership were too lazy to do basic diagnostics. I'm not even a mechanic I'm a body man lol. I heard the manager yell " you've got to be f@&king kidding me" when it started up. 
I've always loved mustangs I had a 92 fox body 5.0 as my first car that wish I never sold. This forum is full of a lot of great info that has saved me headaches. So thank you!

Hi Everyone,
My name is Mike. I've been lurking and learning over this past year. May 5th of 23, I got my hands on a 22 Ecoboost Prem with HPP package. Aside from tint and ceramic coat, I haven't dug into the mods yet, but I have some ideas that will eventually happen. When that happens, I will share accordingly and hope to offer up my own experiences as I go.

- Mustang Bullitt 2019 US model
Hi all,
Just got a 2019 Mustang Bullitt US model 2 weeks ago. Living in Europe, and already managed to set the radio to EU frequencies and get the EU navigation maps in Sync3. The car has only 20000 miles on it so not much I will have to work on.
I do still have 2 Ford Probes (1997 GT/24v and 1995 SE/16v) of which one I still use as a daily driver. Always worked on them myself and I guess for the Mustang will be the same.
This forum seems very useful with a lot of interesting posts!
Sincerely,
Wim
