    2006 Mustang Order Guide

    Check http://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/makepaint2.cgi to see Aston Martin (a Ford company) paint chip for tungsten silver. Granted, it is just a chip and likely not representative, but you can compare it to 2005 Mustang titanium on the same site via search from home page.

    Where does Ford go after the 05?

    Safety and looks for the roll bar. They may not flip too often, but I'd feel a lot better knowing there was at least something to help me from loosing my head in the case of a serious accident...no fault of my own, of course. If they could make the show car bar functional, that would be great...

    Drove a 6Cyl Vert Today

    Drove a 6 cyl vert today - was pretty impressed by the power (wasn't expecting so much). Actually got a chirp from the right rear tire from a stop! Sound from the pipes wasn't bad either. I'm sure this is a decent car for a lot of folks, but it just seems too much like a secretary's...

    What do you think of this 05?

    Looks like it's wearing Michelin Pilot Sport AS rubber. Excellent tires for dry and wet/snow - I've got them on my Audi.

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    If this situation continues to deteriorate and you do find yourself with legal representation, suggest you also hire a professional engineer to inspect the motor and provide independent opinion re the engine's demise. This alone could cost you $500 or more, though. right now, all you have is...

    Radar Detectors

    I've had Valentine 1 for many years and it is an excellent detector. No replacement for common sense, though. Best advice is to use faster traffic and trucks as you cover ground. oh, and stay out of the left lane except when passing!

    Side Airbags

    Here's my 2 pennies on this subject. i agree that airbag save lives and all cars should have them (why is safety only something the rich can afford?). having said that, read the label on your airbags (check the side pillar post on many cars with side airbags). you'll find a label that says...

    FIRST MUSTANG - BLACK 05 GT - No Regrets Yet

    Great combo, black with red interior upgrade. I plan to get one just like it, but will wait until after the coming winter. I agree with the spoiler delete: IMO not only looks better without the spoiler, but you can get a bike rack on the deck lid w/o clearance issues. Re instant classic...

    Dissapointed in the new Stang

    Drove one and was impressed Drove an 05 GT 5 speed just the other day - amazing how this happened, but the truth; drove into the dealership, NO salespeople were present - just the receptionist at the desk. She said no one was around, and tossed me the keys to the stang. Took it on a 25 mile...
