    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    I think everyone here would have been a lot more receptive to the dealer if they had offered to replace the clutch and tires and give the guy the extended warranty, no questions asked. Instead they tried to weasel out of their own responsibility by threatening him with a lawyer when they know...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    He is perfectly justified in suing for punitive damages if the dealership will not cooperate. What happened to him was a VERY stressful event. Every time he looks at that car, he'll be wondering waht that guy did to it. Every time he drives it, he'll be listening to every noise the...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    Really? Can't damage a car within 60 miles? I think you may have a lack of knowledge when it comes performance trannys. I can guarantee I could blow a brand new 2005 Mustang GT's tranny in 5 miles, let alone 60. All I have to do is rev the sucker up to around 5k - 6k, drop the clutch, slip it...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    I honestly believe you are simply ignorant of the liabilities body shops and repair shops take on when they retain a vehicle for repair, especially if it an expensive vehicle require extraordinary care. If these shops did not have any liability for the vehicles in their possession, they would...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    The dealership is 100% responsible. It was in their care when the damage occured, therefore they are liable. If the dealership was more careful about who they gave the keys to/where they stored the keys, this would have never happened. Many repair/body shops even have insurance for this sort of...

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    A tank of gas and cleaning your car is a joke. So is a "free tune up" (spark plugs and air filter, what a joke) or a "free oil change." You should probably change your own oil anyway... I wouldn't trust those bastards to come within half a mile of my car. They definitely should give you the...

    Country Road and the Century Mark....

    Are you talking about Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ? Because I live round there and I've seen a red '05 Mustang GT on several highways and 195. It's just about the only other '05 Mustang GT I've seen except for my black one around here.

    How Fast Have You Gotten Your GT?

    Hit what had to be at least 153 on a very long, straight, undisclosed highway. I have a SCT tune so I had the top speed limiter removed. I also have an Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector as well as six laser blinders - three front, three rear. If anyone was watching, they weren't gettin'...

    A Unique Question - What's the LOWEST RPM You Can Shift At Safely?

    I have a manual '05 Mustang GT. I was just looking for a few opinions on this question - what's the lowest RPM you start out in a gear? For instance, say you're shifting into third... what's the lowest RPM before you start to burn the clutch/lug the engine? My father says never to go below...

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    There's no way a laser detector can save your butt. As soon as it detects the laser you are already clocked, and in most cases it DOES NOT detect the laser because the cop would have to point the laser almost directly at the radar detector. Most cops target your license plate or headlights -...

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    You guys are right - laser detectors are USELESS. However, purchasing laser BLINDERS are 100% efective in jamming a laser gun, and there is no law against it. It is only a federal offense to jam a radar gun, not a laser gun. I have an Escort Passport 8500X50 and six laser blinders, three...

    Crushed A Brand New S2000!

    Crushed a brand spakin' new S2000 (3000 miles) with an aftermarket tune and a CAI. My car just has the hydrocarbon trap removed and a tune. It has about 5k on the odometer. It was one of my sister's friends and we talked before the run so this wasn't some chance meeting. We both did our...

    Road Rage Incident

    It should, man! But until it does, I keep my own under the driver's side seat for "special" occasions.

    Road Rage Incident

    My my my.... it's amazing the amount of people who ask for a tire iron in the face these days. Here's my take on a person who acts like that guy in the Dodge truck or woman in the BMW SUV: They have to get out of their car sometime, and when they do, I'll be there. ;)

    Why the price hike still?

    If you want the markups to go away, then beat the living hell out of the ignorant bastards who paid/want to pay them! The ignorance of the general public is astounding.

    Mustang makes top three list of most hated cars on BMW M3 forum...

    You think this is bad? BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! I went to St. Rose High School in Belmar, NJ. I got there on an 80% scholarship from my high ITBS scores, so I'm not rich. I was pretty much ostrisized by the other kids because I wasn't wealthy and Irish. I never knew there were people hated Italians...

    I think I'm going to try and take a clay bar to it first, see if it's just embedded road debris.

    My paint is starting to look/feel very strange... PLEASE Read/Respond!!

    I own a black 2005 Mustang GT. Lately, I have begun to notice something very strange with my paintjob. Before I describe the potential problem I am seeing/feeling, let me explain how I care for my paint. - I wash it regularly. About every 500 miles or so. It is washed at a self-service car...
