    scratched the roof to protect the visor

    My opener won't even fit on the visor. The visor is too narrow. Was thinking of getting that mirror with homelink.

    coasting downhill in neutral...

    There are a couple of good reasons to leave it in gear. First, the gears provide some braking effect so depending on how you drive down the hill there may be less brake wear. Second, if you suddenly need to accelerate for some reason you will already be in gear.

    Favorite mustang color?

    I really like the Vapor metallic color on my convertible, but I also think that Grabber Orange with black interior is just about the perfect color for a coupe.

    Crappy morning

    Just wanted to note that, now that we are talking about birds, the title of this thread has become even more on point.

    Crappy morning

    I feel your pain. I have a slightly different problem. My car seems to be a bird-poop magnet. The second day after I got it (2 weeks ago) I walk outside and it looked like I had been attacked by an entire flock. Last Saturday morning I detailed it and I've been bombed every single day since...

    Good morning Left laners

    In the case of the fire, I am assuming that if I don't try to help the person he or she would certainly die so the risk/benefit analysis is pretty clear. Oh9 - I am also assuming that there are no fire personnel there and they would not arrive in time to save this person. (That's the beauty of...

    Good morning Left laners

    Of course if I thought I could save someone from a fire without hurting myself I would. You didn't respond to my point, though. How do you know that, by not letting the speeder pass, you are not going to cause the very accident that you are trying to prevent? I would think you are making...

    Good morning Left laners

    Where does it say that in the civics handbook? :shrug: If you let someone speed off doing 120 and they wreck, or even worse kill someone else, that's on them (for being a complete idiot), not you. All you are doing is making a bad situation potentially worse. The idiot coming up behind you...

    Turtle Wax Ice

    Yeah I would use it again. Did not notice any residue.

    Turtle Wax Ice

    Just tried the Ice polsih yesterday for the first time. I am pleased with the results. Maybe not as good as a paste wax in overall shine but man was it easy to apply and wipe off. Plus, I didn't have to worry about getting on the plastic parts - you can apply it directly to plastic and it...

    Bye Bye Grabber Orange GT.... :(

    What mods are you gonna do to that Fusion? :D BTW, Grabber Orange is a great color for the Mustang. Too bad they didn't keep it for 2010.

    Best Prices on New '08 & '09 GT

    That sux. In New York you don't pay tax on the value of your trade in.

    New Sound for an 09 GT Premium Shaker 500

    Make sure the buzzing is your speakers or sub before spending the money and going through all the work. Problem could be a loose speaker mount, door panel or window, not the speakers themselves.

    Best Prices on New '08 & '09 GT

    I just bought a 2008 GT Convertible Premium, 5 speed, 3.55 rear axle, 18" wheels, IUP, and some other options for $27K (plus I got a reasonable price on my trade in). Sticker was around $36K. Ford is offering $6,000 in cash incentives on leftover '08s and $3500 on leftover '09s (cash...

    Did I get a good deal?

    :lol: But which upgrades first?

    Did I get a good deal?

    Thanks for the comments, guys. 300- sticker on the car was around $35,500. I agree that $40k+ is a heck of a lot to pay for a Mustang, even a GT Convertible. To be fair, this one had just about every option there is except auto tranny. IIRC, it had 19" wheels, the very expensive...

    Did I get a good deal?

    Hi, everyone. Been lurking for a few weeks and this is my first post. I just bought a new 2008 GT Premium Convertible, Silver Vapor, with charcoal leather seats. Options include 18" chromed aluminum wheels, cloth roof, interior upgrade package, 3.55 rear axle and convertible boot cover...
