    Got hit (again)

    metroplex, I went through the anti-terrorism threat course at Ft. Bragg quite a few years ago when I was assigned to a position Honduras for a couple of years...but you're right, you should always leave enough room between the you and car in front of you in the event you need to make a quick...

    What type of oil...?

    Stick with the factory semi-synthetic 5w-20...my '01 Vette came with Mobil 1 5w-30 and it's fine...nothing special. I still use it because it was the factory fill. I will tell you that I really used to push my '02 Stang V6 (daily driver) with 5w-20 Motorcraft semi-synthetic and even with 65K...

    Yellow Driving Lights

    Back in the old days (late 60's) I always had yellow fog lights...they would not reflect the snow/rain/fog as much as bright white and you could definitely see much better...

    How do you clean the rear window

    I bought this tool (a little over a foot in length) which has a triangular foam head which you can attach cloth bonnets to it...it's able to get into the corners and it makes it easy to clean the windows inside your cars. I wish I could remember the name of it and where I bought it...check at...

    Has anybody gotten pulled over for having fogs on?

    Technically the cop is right...fog lamps are just that...for the "fog" and inclement weather (raining, etc.)...sitting up higher than most "fogs" they almost act as high beam lights...just keep them off unless you really need them...besides the bulbs aren't that easy to replace when they fail...

    Just rented Shelby GT350H

    Very nice...I'm sure you drove her responsibly...but I wonder if the previous renters did? As nice as they look and obviously have some exclusivity...I certainly wouldn't want to buy one (when they become available) unless Hertz was willing to replace the powertrain, tires, shocks, and...

    First Scratch HELP!!!

    Try some Kit Scratch Out ...comes in a Yellow Bottle...then follow it up with Mequiar's #2 polish (Dark Red Bottle) and finally with your choice of wax... BTW, the Kit Scratch Out is clear coat safe...use a damp cloth while using it. It may not remove it completely but it will definitely...

    Hood shake problem build dates

    LuS1fer, I'm not sure that the C5 rubber strip will help...it seems that the air rushing in through the grill is the main culprit since the high pressure air has nowhere to go and the hood takes the brunt of it and starts shaking. I don't care for drilling holes into my hood...I will try...

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Florida Bob, mine was built in April '06 and I purchased in Jul '06 and I just experienced the hood "flutter" at around 100MPH...it was very windy and rainy outside on the highway...definitely gave me a scare... (hood being hinged at the front instead of the rear should have been considered...

    Oil and filter recommendations?

    I always used Motorcraft 5w-20 Semi synthetic in my '02 V6...ran it hard (changed it every 3K miles)...even at 65K miles when I traded it in for the '06 GT the V6 ran like a champ and never burnt a drop of oil. I've just changed the oil in my '06 at 650 miles (old habits die hard...to get rid...

    Rear quarter window not flush

    DarkFireGT, I agree...I think they did me "dirty." I may be sending a letter to FORDMOCO regarding this. At least now the rear quarter window looks good.

    Rear quarter window not flush

    DarkFireGT, Here's the deal...the dealership said they would pay for the labor ($57), but since I wanted them to break the glass and replace it, they said "no" to paying for the glass...they also said that if the paint was damaged by the window installer, it would be my dime for the re-paint...

    Rear quarter window not flush

    bigcat, got the rear quarter window replaced...they ending up breaking the factory glass (my choice) and this way we didn't have to mess with the issue of trying to pry the window out. I ended up paying $289 (including labor) for the Ford Carlite OEM window and now the rear quarter window is...
