    Functional hood pins

    Did they show you where these holes are? Pics? I'm looking to put my locks on, maybe this weekend...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    It could've been one of the networks, now you mention it. I think it was Thursday, as I was throwing my crap into my bags in my hotel room in SF, so I wasn't paying too much attention - tv was on for some company (yes, I'm one sad individual - when I'm away at work for the week, anyway:D ).

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Hmmm. did anyone see the story on the Volvo safety issues, this week? I kept seeing the "Coming up, after the break...", but never saw the story. I cannot speak for your particular station, but it doesn't appear that the terror of losing advertising revenue prevents all stations from airing...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    A friend of mine just said that if I fill whilst wearing RED SHOES, turn the nozzle UPSIDE-DOWN, only fill at AMERIGAS gas-stations, never let the tank get below 27% full (there goes my trip to Vegas:mad: ), and STROKE the vapor-hose, all the while whispering "Oo, take it baby. You know you...

    thank you ford

    You're good - any more than that, and you are in the wrong vehicle. Think of it as a fitting mechanism - "hmmmm...looks like you're getting very high mileage around town in your GT - maybe we should look at getting you into a V6...". Yes, I'm joking. No, my city mpg is not any better than...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Oh no, you didn't?!? Let's see how long it takes for some knuckle-head to flame you for trying to cause more problems for Mother Ford!!! Jfrayzier - that response from Ford is ridiculous! I cannot believe that they said that to you! Who has the cahones to get on the phone and say something...

    Quality of 2005+ Mustangs? (versus 2004)

    Fun? Check. Good looking? Check. Faster? Check. Quality better than <04? Not in my experience, no.

    Quality of 2005+ Mustangs? (versus 2004)

    Quality is not ideal on the 05+. I can't speak to the 04, but I had an 02 Conv Gt, never had a single problem with it. To date, I've got squeaky dash (common issue), skipping Shaker 500 (common issue) and fuel tank fill problems (common issue, fixed, but still manifests, to some degree)...

    Did you get an email? I got a copy - unbe-freaking-lievable! If you didn't, I'll switch machines and attach...

    fastest cars under $30k

    I thought that the Evo was >$30K, but then saw that this was the Caveman Special (power nothing, no stereo?). For $3K more than the GT and 300lbs less, I can live with the fact that it barely shades the Mustang in the 1/4 mile (same 0-60 #'s).

    proper break in procedures

    The post was tongue-in-cheek. The "break it" part was a reference to the mindset of "Oh, well, I've gone and broken that now. Better go out and buy a shiney-new upgraded AM part!". I know a lot of guys who itch to find a busted part, just so they can justify replacing it with something...

    proper break in procedures

    Break-in procedure, Stangnet style - 1. pop hood, install CAI 2. tune for CAI 3. remove factory Expedition springs with sportier setup 4. tune again, because you found one which will net you an extra 10-15hp 5. replace factory midpipe and axle-back. 6. tune, because you're sure you're...

    Is this supercharger any good??

    Did I see $2600 as a Buy It Now? If you're getting 99hp for $2600, compared to 115hp for $5K+ for some of the units out there, this sounds like a steal! If this is a solid product, from a reputable company (and, from the above comments, this sounds like the case) and you're looking for a...

    Ford to report record losses?

    :nice: Thanks, you beat me to it. Remember when the 05 GT's came out? They were up to the same games then.

    Ford to report record losses?

    I think so too. They're lucky enough to have sufficient loyal customers to probably keep them afloat when they ought to go under.
