What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[GT Pony]

The oil I got, this change, also isn't sold in an even 10 qts. I had to get 12, 1 qt bottles. Tedious.

What happened to 5 qt jugs of oil? What oil are you using that doesn't come in 5 qt jugs?

Blizzaks went on today! They ride very nice in cold temperatures.

Didn't do anything to the car today but in the garage added in Megadeth's - Rust In Peace tin sign to my garage wall.

You mean other than you?

I wanted Brittany so was forced to buy 200A which meant I paid for automatic climate control (yawn) and MyColor, 8" screen other vastly overpriced and silly crap.

Decided to do something different this winter since I hate letting this car sit for 5 months. Ordered some Blizzak WS90 in 235/50/18 for my stock wheels. Now I can drive the car any time I damn well please. Yeah, I'll still have my beater, but now I don't have to faff with covers, trickle chargers, or rodent repellents. Will fluid film the underbody to avoid any potential for corrosion (even though the climate here and outside storage makes rust pretty unlikely).

Not to knock anyone who stores for winter since I've done it two years in a row now, but I'm kinda happy to reach a point where I stopped caring. Given the way the world seems to be heading, the more time behind the wheel of this fun beast, the better.

I got that same size of Blizzaks on inexpensive wheels from Tire Rack and they are awesome in snow and on slick surfaces. I, too, just drive my car all winter. I switch to my WeatherTech mats and keep my convertible top up most of the time.

As I have previously admitted, I am a barbarian, but I run my car through a soft-cloth wash every now and then in the winter and spring for the "chassis bath.". I've never had issues with rust. These cars are too fun to just put away for months at a time.

Your first mistake was buying anything from Kankakee IL. /ducks

simple, you buy yourself a 5 gallon pail with a good quality top and equipped with a stanard 2" bung hole, then use a very sharp knife and slice the top off your 1 qt containers and dump them into the 5 gallon pail. Cover. Roll it out and use a transfer pump to put it into crank-case.

PS. hire teen next door for $2/hr to dump all your 1 qt containers into said pail.
Or join the herd and just buy 5qt jugs of the name brands like every other person in CONUS.

I live an hour from Kankakee so... lol. I think their actual factory is in Manteno, IL.

Some of their oil is actually sold in a 5 gallon pail (just not this one). I don't want to load up on oil I'm not sure I'm going to commit to, so the 12 qt option it was. I've never used a "boutique" oil and figured I'd try something new. I've been stalking bitog for years and have never seen an oil so universally praised by its members.

Just got some ET Street Fronts to replace the Sportsman Fronts I ran. Saving weight

Looks like my repair is getting a little closer

It would appear that these aren’t the easiest of things to get hold of in the U.K. … :

So in preparation, I’ve bagged, labelled and boxed the first lot of parts for dropping with the tech ready for rebuild :

• Steeda subframe support bushes.
• Steeda alignment dowels.
• Steeda diff bush inserts.
• 12.9 grade bolts.
• Stainless bolt sleeves.
• J&M rear camber brackets.
• Stainless flange head bolts (for the diff cover).

Itching to get it back …

But rapidly loosing the nice weather …

Anniversary present from my wife. Looks like I have a project for this afternoon.

Pick these up recently - can’t wait to get them on. I think I will like these carbon fiber tips better than the chrome ones
