    WHOA Nelly!!

    Whew. Gotta a little scared in the stang this evening and thought I would pass it along for comments so I can feel a little reassured. It's that solid rear axle. I was taking this nice little left hand sweeping on ramp here in Birmingham getting onto to a freeway. It's about a 45-55 mph...

    Don't know what this Integra was thinking

    I would but my doctor warned me against excessive laughing, which all those silly undercarriage lights and playstation 2 consoles in the dash seem to make me do. :rlaugh: If I stuck a NOS system in my stang (I just disagree with this whole concept), or put a supercharger or blower on it...

    Guess what I see in my driveway!!!!!!

    I am single but... I am single but the women who stare at my car wanna date my car! My stang gets more action than me! :nonono: :shrug: LOL! Maybe if I had V8 muscles and an aggressive grill I could get more looks. Scratch that. An aggressive grill means bad things in my neck of the...

    Guess what I see in my driveway!!!!!!

    Prolly a good call on the automatic in Jersey. Nothing like creeping in traffic with a 5 speed. GRRRRRRRRRR!! :bang: That reminds me I still need to put my wheel locks on. :rolleyes: :spot: Goin' to now....

    Guess what I see in my driveway!!!!!!

    A woman in a Mustang.... Funny, I thought I had run out of fantasies. Never thought about a woman in the new mustang!!! LOL. Welcome to the club Jersey. I had the EXACT same feelings when I came home in mine. Almost like carrying your first child home from the hospital after he/she is...

    Don't know what this Integra was thinking

    Rice for dinner I've had rice for dinner twice in the past two weeks. It's gets a little boring if you eat it too often. Most of the rice around here is only half cooked, too. Silly little children think sticking a teradactyl wing on the back of a honda makes it go faster. Hmmm... Oh, and...

    Radar Detectors

    Things to remember about lasers. If they laze you, your caught. Period. The only way a detector can pick up a laser is if it is mounted in your front bumper, since that's what they shoot the laser at. A windsheild mounted detector won't pick up a laser shot at your bumper. Only one shot at your...

    Can you put together a better stereo for $600 or less?

    I can take a stab at these. I have the 1000. A.) 500 more. Just kidding. :rlaugh: The Shaker 1000 Audio System includes: 1000 watts of peak power, in-dash 6-disc CD changer with MP3 capability, two front door-mounted subwoofers, two trunk-mounted subwoofers, and premium rear speakers...

    Radar Detectors

    Amen Yes, buying a Mustang GT and going the speed limit are mutually exclusive. :nice: Unless you're on your last point on your drivers license, that is!

    Is Windveil Blue a feminine color?

    Well said. But I'd stay away from anything that looks pastel, which the WB and LL do to me. OR - you could get the "You think it's a girl's car" blue, spend your kids inheritance on obtaining 500 horses and when someone says something, create a thick cloud of rubber smelling, airway clogging...

    Got to test drive an '05 GT 5-speed today... 2 concerns

    My 4.5 cents This is my first Mustang ever. I think the ride is okay. Not a crown vic mushy ride, but a sports car suspension ride. I have anout 1600 miles on mine and no complaints from my back or rear end. :D Just have to understand this is a sports car. Not a sedan. What kind of roads...

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

    Good advice here. I used to work in a dealership selling cars and have had multiple run ins with dealership repair departments over the course of buying about 10 Ford vehicles. (You name it, I've probably owned it.) Svtpilot is right. Unless Ford refuses to fix the car (which isn't...

    Radar Detectors

    PASSPORT I read through about every website and article I could find on who made the best radar detector and which one was the best. Let my studious efforts save you the trouble. Buy the Escort Passport 8500 X50. (Blue or red LEDs). Red is cheaper. Gave about 320 bucks for it at Best Buy. Worth...

    Side Airbags

    I didn't see a discount My carrier (Allstate) basically says you either have airbags or don't. Sides don't change anything from what I could tell. Statistically, (and I am not a insurance rep or car accident guru), I would think that you're more likely to get hit in the front or back of the...

    How many Speeding Tickets have you got in your 05?

    You ain't kidding!!! The new stang rides so well and so quiet that I ALWAYS find myself about 10 or 15 over the limit. I was just cruising along on the interstate over turkey weekend and saw that I was haulin at 80 in a 70. Oops. The cruise control is now my favorite friend. And when you stomp...

    Opinions on this wheel from SSR?

    I think I have finally found the "right wheel" for my Torch Red GT. This wheel, 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the back. 45s and 40s for a staggered look. Sitting on BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW tires. Opinions? This is the tire: (ignore the wheel) Killer tread pattern, no...

    Any Ford Technicians....

    Have any of you guys seen a TSB on the Shaker stereo problems yet? Just wondering. Maybe you could let everyone know when something happens with this thing. I know I would appreciate the heck out of it! Thanks Guys!

    A nod to 05 owners...

    Forgot to mention this... A beautiful red Dodge viper pulled beside me in Birmingham today. I was a little flustered to say the least. No way I am getting in a stop light drag with a viper, obviously. Viper driver looks over at me and gives me a thumbs up. I had to laugh...he liked MY car!! 2...
