    You should just wrap the monster Mike..... If you screw up, you just peel it off and try again. You're out $40 in vinyl. :shrug:

    The cure for having disposable income.

    After losing my shirt in a divorce, I've found having a pile of money in the bank isn't as important as it used to be. Like others have said, you never know which day will be the last. My bills are paid, everyone's bellies are full, and I've got enough left over for an "emergency fund"...

    Officially an Antique

    In Michigan, to run an "Antique" or "Same year as car" plate, you are only "allowed" to drive them to or from car shows, or parades. And since everyone follows the rules, that is exactly what everyone does.... :runaway:

    Window shopping

    My fox I had, had enough rust in the strut tower that I could see it, and knew it was there when I bought it, but though "meh, will deal with it later..." My (now) ex-father in law helped me that winter with it, and we had to end up putting a new piece in the in the strut tower, and rebuilding...

    Cheap fix for front bumper that broke off when I got the car stuck in a ditch.

    I think those clips break pretty easily (even when taking the bumper off on purpose) https://www.cjponyparts.com/quik-latch-front-bumper-latch-kit-black-2015-2019/p/QLFBK1/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4qvlBRDiARIsAHme6otW79ejq8wK-231Oen5SidL7jcxK6p_xDMnd_URM9ET3D-iQd97yroaAhuqEALw_wcB Seems like lots of...

    Worth upgrading to a v8 model?

    DBegley hit the nail on the head. I bought a '17GT PP car to compliment my 90 fox body. The plan was to keep both cars forever. Within 2 months I sold the fox because it was no fun to drive. I haven't driven the v6 or eco options, but I do love my GT! Ive gone 20,000+ miles in 2 years with it...

    I got a 6 year loan on my 17 gt at 0% financed thru ford. That was the longest loan term I could pick. (At 0%, I would have picked 10 years if I could have :rlaugh:)

    New exhaust recommendations! I need to hear that engine roar!

    I've got the corsa sport on mine. No drone.. Louder than stock, but not super loud unless you get on it. Its raspy I was over having to yell to talk to passengers when cruising in my fox, so this fit the bill perfect for my '17.

    Looking to get a Mustang

    I bought my '17 new last year and have no complaints with it, and I'm up over 20,000 miles already. We've taken several 1000+ mi trips with it with no issue, and I plan on getting it back out at the end of March and taking it on our yearly spring break trip. Some thoughts I have in my...

    What Have You Done To Your S550 Today?

    Yep, she's got a battery tender on her. I use dryer sheets to keep the mice out. (That moth ball smell takes too long to get rid of for my liking) I probably should get a car cover for her... Someday.. Needs new tires, so im not terribly worried about flat spots. It will be good until the end...

    I'd be happy to see if I can open it for you. If I can, I can save it in a file you can use. Also, I could cut you some new ones, if you so desire. :nice: Do you have a good straight on picture of the graphic on your car now? Get me that an I can recreate if I can't open the file.
