    Factory Window Tint?

    I sued to work at a factory that made auto glass. The SUV rear window type is made of tinted material. I really wish there was a way to replace the factory clear with the factory smoked. Way more durable, and no need for film to be applied... Oh well. I've got 30% on my...

    gas mileage per tank help

    Multiple trips would be nice. I only reset mine when the car comes out of storage in the spring. It's up to 828 miles this year.

    Mustang on 30's

    Looks like a Hotwheels toy. Not my style, but whatever. It's their money, they can spend it anyway they want to. :shrug:

    gas mileage per tank help

    When I brought my car home (350 miles of tollroad), it got about 270 before the light came on. Since I was still new to it, I didn't want to see just how much further I could go. Driving it around (when I do that occasionally), it probably gets about 140-160mi to a tank. I think it got...

    Uhh....I'm an idiot.

    I've always used needle-nose plyers to get those types of pins out.

    turbo beetle? wtf?!

    I didn't specifically say it was *you*...it's the same thing on ALL car-specific forums. I just don't get it. I don't have a VW, nor am I a member of a VW forum. But thanks for demonstrating my point.

    turbo beetle? wtf?!

    So you can't be on a car-specific forum and be objective about things at the same time?

    turbo beetle? wtf?!

    I never understood why people get upset about being "beat" (or "what the hell, there's no way that should happen!) by something that's not a Mustang. Who cares? You can make anything fast if you throw enough money at it. I also love how anyone not in a Mustang is a d-bag, because they...

    1/2 tank of gas?

    Last time I was bothered to check my mileage, I got about 12.3. I drive it the same way as I did when I checked it, so I assume I'm somewhere between 11 and 16 average. Mileage wasn't a concern. I put gas in it and drive it around, when it's empty, I repeat. :)

    1/2 tank of gas?

    Half a tank for me lasts about 80 miles...

    Fresh Off Dyno...Numbers Way Low?!?

    The last three weeks in Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan/Eastern IL (Chicago), it's been in the 40s at night. Last weekend, it was only 62 for a high temp for the whole weekend.

    hit this over the weekend

    heh heh, yeah. I'd be surprised if mine ever got near 40000 miles. Who knows though, maybe one summer I'll drive the piss out of it... One thing about not driving it all the time, it feels like a new toy every time I do. :D

    Headers leak

    Mine actually got worse over the last couple weeks. I drove it on the 14th, then it sat until last Saturday (the 29th). It's really noticable now... Bah.

    hit this over the weekend

    Yeah. I think if you take care of *any* car, 150k (or even twice that) isn't too unbelievable. Oddly enough, I passed 18,000 Saturday. 730 miles this year. At that rate, it'll take me 117 years to break 100k...

    Headers leak

    I've got a leak too (I'm pretty sure) but it's with the midpipe/manifold connection. I think if you torque the bolts, you should be ok. I installed it cold (car sat all night before). I'm not sure if it'd be better to install it, run it for a while, and re-torque the bolts on the connections...

    Roush 03 saleen possible purchase.

    I'm up to about 680 miles this year in it. While it pains me to have such a car that I don't drive much, it also keeps it "fresh" to me. If I don't drive it for two weeks, when I do finally get in it, it feels like a new toy all over again. Kinda like when it comes out of hibernation in...

    Roush 03 saleen possible purchase.

    Indeed. Mine's a '99 with 17800 on it.

    Sometimes hard to shift into third...

    It's a '99 S281, not sure which tranny it has (off hand, I'll have to look for sure). It's got 17500 on it and has the stock shifter (from Saleen, don't know if that's different than a regular GT's or not). As for fluid, well...I just got the thing a little over a year ago. I've only put...

    Sometimes hard to shift into third...

    Drove the car this weekend (first time in a week...), got on it a bit, got to 3rd and it didn't want to slot in very easily. I've noticed this a couple times recently. Granted, it's only when driving "spirited", but I'm guessing it shouldn't do it. Is this a sign of bad things to come...

    how do you guys drive it in the snow?

    Bingo. In my car, my DD is a company Explorer. Which also covers the crap months of Nov-March.
