    Mr. Clean Carwash System

    Is there any source material to show that waxing is bad for the car? Water is only one problem that causes paint to go bad over time. I was under the impression that "waxing" a car (using synthetic for protection and traditional wax for shine) protects against elements other than water, such as...

    Handles like a crippled elephant

    Some truth there. The car works well in the turns, but it's still a big car that leans and bounces on bad surfaces. They did a good job of it, though, and credit is due. It's an affordable muscle car. That's not an apology for its limitations. It is what it is. It's not an all-out sports car...

    Gas cap problem

    I've heard (though I may be wrong) that you should never do a reset on your own. The problem (if there is one) may remain, though the computer won't recognize it.

    Holes in Bumper

    Figures. I requested that they not put any dealer marks on my car, so they didn't put a sticker on the back. They were cool about that, but after they brought it back from the wash, it had a plate. I bitched at them (nicely) and they pulled it off, but the holes look like ass now. I'm going...

    Holes in Bumper

    I picked up my GT from the dealer yesterday and noticed that they had their dealer plate attached to the front of the car. Two screws held the plastic frame in place in the center of my front bumper. I asked if they had drilled the holls in the bumper because it seemed unlikely that Ford...

    Got it!

    I went for the Metallic Grey rather than the Satin Silver. :D Thanks for the congrats. I love it so far. Great car.

    06 Car & wheel pics

    Nice link. I don't like the Pony Edition grilll. Looks too cluttered with too many lines and details. The small fog lamps kinda suck too.

    Is the Challenger going to be a two door?

    Got it!

    Just picked up my Gray GT with leather interior. Good day! The seat adjuster on the driver's side doesn't tilt forward. They've got the part on order and are going to fix in next week when I take it in, but aside from that, it's perfect. Not a thing wrong with it. :D I'm going easy on it...

    2005 gt break in procedures

    While the old 1,000 mile break-in of yesteryear may not be necessary, it doesn't mean much of anything if you have a few hundred miles and aren't burning any oil "yet". Saying "I've got a few thousand miles on mine after driving it hard, and it's running great" doesn't mean a thing. An engine...

    New Mustang GT Fender Badge

    Looks nice, but "281" just doesn't sound mean enough. It's not like like have 6.0 389 or 400 displayed.

    different head unit

    If it were me, I'd run a passive equalizer in the second space. Upgrade the whole system and run two amps for the mids and highs. Beyond that, yank the ****ty Shaker (if you have it) subs and amp and replace 'em with an MTX and a decent 10" sub. :D

    Finally got Build Date!!!! 07/25

    I must have gotten lucky. I ordered mine in late May and have a build date on June 20th. Should have the car delivered and ready to pick up in about two and a half to three weeks from now. Delivery is set for the 12th of July, but the dealer said they expect it a few days earlier (based on...

    Breaking In

    I've heard various opinions on proper break-in on a new engine. There's the tried and true 1000 mile break-in: vary the engine speed, keep it below a certain rpm up to 250 miles, 500 miles and 1,000 miles, etc. Then there's the claim that you should drive it hard right out of the gate to...

    Waiting for a 06 in mid Aug

    I have a feeling you won't find that deal until the end of 2006/start of 2007 model year.
