What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Le Mans]

I did indeed. Thx.

I tested out my new wheels and tires on the wet roads. Verdict: excellent.

who did you run over?

They use crushed volcanic rock instead of salt to melt the snow here

Hoping this cures my water leak. New light, flexible sealant... Wish me luck.

I wish they used volcanic rock instead of salt here. Years ago they used to use sand but salt is cheaper.

Another reason that they stopped using sand is because it clogs up the sewers. But here in the Great Lakes region, they traded off having to clean the sewers of sand, for putting salt in our great lakes instead. Doesn't seem like a good tradeoff to me.

I agree not a good trade off

New tires and alignment today! Continental DWS 06 Plus. I'm loving them so far and not misssing the stock POS Pzero Neros for a second. I can't believe I put up with them until today but I was just being a cheap bastard........

The car is so smooth now and actually has some grip for once. We still have lots of snow but the roads were clean and dry so I figured I'd get them on since I will be getting her out more now.

Also I have to say I have really missed this car while it was stored so it was a blast to help seat the new rubber today.

Can confirm these tires are impressive.

Not what I did but I’m here getting my oil changed at AutoNation Ford Tustin. A friend of mine who is an advisor here had a 2019 GT in velocity blue. He had 4.56 gears in it and it was a screamer. He was moving at high speed and hit some unexpected water. He went through several trees and then into a pole. I’m shocked I’m talking to him. This is the worst I’ve ever seen a Mustang look.

Finally pulled the engine surfboard and painted the center section. Used Rust-Oleums flat metallic nickel. Lots of flake. A friend has offered to do the "Powered by Ford" with paint. Trying to determine if One Shot Enamel will work on plastic.

That is a serious hit. Gad he is still moving.

I’m waiting for someone to post an “Is this a total?” thread.

yikes, glad hes around to tell about it. curious why he had it geared so low? 4.56 is crazy. with the transmissions in these cars I cannot think of a situation where you would want anything that low. my 3.73 are low but with only 6 gears to deal with it makes sense. Was his a A10 or 6 spd?

It’s funny that you ask that question. It was a 6 speed and he basically cracked the transmission in half one time. Of course he works for Ford so everything got fixed under warranty.
