    how do you guys drive it in the snow?

    This was my first car, too. I still don't know how I escaped two years of parking at a high school without getting smacked, especially in winter. Getting caught out in 4" snow was one of the most terrifying things I've ever encountered. I had blizzaks, and did get home ok, but got stuck in the...

    how do you guys drive it in the snow?

    If you're looking at buying blizzaks and wheels, that'll run close to $800. You can't find a beater for $800 that will last through winter? I've gone through a few winters with it, but I would really advise against it, if only because I don't trust other drivers on the road to handle the...

    Price for my car

    Firstly, this is NOT a for sale thread. I'm contemplating selling my Mustang. It's a 2001 GT with 55xxx miles in perfect condition. I realize prices are way down on our cars but what's a fair price on this?

    Waxing the Stang

    The wax itself can only do so much. Clay bar your car to make sure you aren't waxing over contaminants that will hinder your finish no matter what wax you use. That said, I use Pinnacle.

    How much do you pay for an oil change?

    It's cheaper for me to have it done by the dealer (surprisingly) than it is just to buy the oil. They know me and my car and it's never a problem. Once I was in their system they keep sending me coupons for $20-25 oil and filter changes.

    Cobra brake question

    I still can't believe the GT came with such weak brakes; the 13 inch rotors make a huge difference. What paint did you use on your rears? I haven't been able to find the Mach calipers anywhere for a decent price, only once in a while on eBay. Buyfordracing.com is still the cheapest I've seen...

    Cobra brake question

    Exactly, I do not like the look of red brakes on a yellow car. Night Shifter you're right, the red is cheaper than the black. I think I will just end up getting the red and painting over it. I used the duplicolor on my brother's car four years ago and it still looks perfect, so I'm not too...

    Cobra brake question

    I am planning to upgrade to Cobra brakes and had a question about painting them. I want to paint them a glossier black, instead of the gray-black that they come standard, and painting the "cobra" letters yellow to match my car. Would it be better to get the red calipers or the black calipers if...

    First time out in the stang for 2009

    Looks good! I can't wait to take mine out, but that won't happen until May :mad:

    What now?

    My car is basically stock and I shouldn't have to drive it through winter anymore, so it's time to do some mods. I will be able to spend about $800 this spring, and was debating between getting: a) 3.73 gears and tuner b) plenum, throttle body, cold air kit, tuner c) saving it for long tubes...

    Anyone ever order from Planet Magnaflow??

    Do they sell x-pipes as well? That's an awesome price!

    Winter tires/Daily driving a stang Q

    I went through three winters with Blizzaks and cheapo wheels and only got suck once (in my driveway). As long as you drive carefully, you'll still be better off than a lot of people that think their all wheel drive will prevent them from spinning no matter how they drive.

    detailing the stang, Product Opinions please!

    I really like Pinnacle signature series II. This is what it did for me on a black car, wthout using a polish or glaze of any kind.

    swirl marks

    You will need to use a polish/compound to remove (not hide) swirl marks. Start by claying it, then if you have access to a buffer, use it with a polish to get remove swirl marks. Different kinds of wax won't make much of a difference if the paint it's put onto has imperfections. Head over to...

    Bassani FTL!!!

    Wow that's really surprising. I just have Magnaflows welded into my stock piping, it has gone through probably about 8000 miles as well but includes a winter, and they still look new.

    Mustang GT Bumper

    The black at the bottom? Do you mean the Mach 1 chin spoiler?

    Winter Tires???

    No but honestly you shouldn't need the sandbags. That will put a lot of extra stress on your rear suspension components. As long as you know how to drive in the snow (taking it easy), the tires are all that you will need.

    Winter Tires???

    As far as winter tires, Blizzaks or the other equivalents are the best way to go. How much snow are you worried about getting through? If the most you get is about an inch at a time, you'd be fine. With the Minnesota snow that I have to get through, I'd be in a ditch with anything less than my...
