    How is the leather interior holding up?

    Treat them for what? :D Do they gotta case of the clap or something??? :rlaugh: I kid, of course. I suppose you mean take care of or upkeep on the seats. Armor-all makes some pre-treated wipes I have been using for some time now. Saves a lot of wasted product since you are not squeezing...

    Stock Bullitt Wheels, What Color Goes Best?

    But I am biased Here's my torch red with the bullits. I really like the combo and get a ton of "love it" compliments.

    Sonic Blue GT vert with parchment top *DUW*

    I dunno. I kind of like the tan top. SOOOOO much better than the white top. Remember white top convertibles? Blahhh. Wonder what color other than tan would look good on this car? Not a lot of options. Black I guess. But I am thinking aloud. :nice:

    What rims are these??

    Nice catch You are the man. How do you people remember these things??? I saw that photoshop edition and couldn't tell it was doctored. What is this world coming too? :hail2: Still think 20's are too big. 19 max.

    2005 Mach 1

    Photoshop But I like the concept. I agree the bullits would be a bad choice. I have them on my car but if I were paying a premium for a special edition, I'd want special edition wheels to go with. I like the louvers on the side windows. Really a throwback! :nice:

    Don't know what this Integra was thinking

    LOL...oh my god. I thought people on cell phones while driving was a dangerous thing. This has to be a joke. I mean, there aren't that many things in a car to gauge!!! "Uh...this one over here measures the trunk air quality" LOL :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh...

    How many ricers have you smoked in your 05 GT?

    Smoking is bad for you Trust me. Don't smoke rice. It's nasty. May even be illegal in some states. Stick to tobacco.

    How is the leather interior holding up?

    Any car gets hot I live in Alabama and also suffer from the high heat, high humidity summers. I've had leather in about my last 6 cars and wouldn't trade it for the world. Any material, unless it's the space shuttle's tiles, will get hot when sitting in direct sunlight. Cloth interior is...

    Radar Detectors

    Good point... You had to be going uphill and the laser was pointing at the car in front of you going (laser was going uphill from the other direction), meaning it was a triangle where your detector and the laser had converging paths. A laser detector will pick up lasers if it can see them...

    Radar Detectors

    I agree I agree with the posts stating that you have to drive carefully. It is the "being observant" part and "having forewarning" that give you the edge over police. I think detectors are invaluable, though. Why wouldn't you want to know that a police officer was up ahead. If the car in...

    The Dealer call and said Ford "Pulled"my order!

    What does "pulled" mean? Hate to ask a stupid question, but context suggests this means you get your car earlier than expected? If so, :nice: Congrats. I got soooooo lucky in that I have a best friend who sells Fords in Huntsville and he stole one from Atlanta and held it for me. Not a...

    WHOA Nelly!!

    :rlaugh: Lost the mullet and the chest hair, huh? Did the gold chain go with it? :rlaugh: I appreciate the advice. I knew getting into this car that it had a "lively" rear end but I had never experienced that at speed on my daily driven roads here in Birmingham. Definitely an eye opener for...

    sold 69 stang for new 2005gt

    Life's too short to worry I say make a decision, right or wrong and stick with it. If you wanted the 05 and the Mach was the way to get it, good for you. You only live once and indecision is the mother of regret. :nice: Besides, I bet your 69 doesn't have that new car interior smell...

    WHOA Nelly!!

    Appreciate that. I hadn't pushed the car in a corner up till this point and I make it a point to know the limits of every car I drive so I don't cross that line. I've done that curve many times before in everything from a Taurus to an F-150 and never felt THAT before. That's why I got concerned...

    WHOA Nelly!!

    As bad as is it is to admit, I had the Probe GT when it first came out changed up (the Mazda motor, front end looked like a Porche). I think it was a 92? Anyway. It rode stiffer than any other car I had before but I think it sat a lot lower to the ground. But I am quite sure it had independant...

    WHOA Nelly!!

    I am usually pretty calm about town in my car, preferring the "I could if I wanted to" route. I just got to worrying about this since I know there are sections of our interstate system that have issues (go figure) and I am sure my heart would jump if I had this happen with a family of five...

    WHOA Nelly!!

    :shrug: What? Like learn to drive better? That would be funny and I can take a joke. :D (Appreciate you refraining from flaming.) :nice: Just asking for comments from other people who may have had the same experience in this car. Not used to this solid rear axle set up. BTW - it was...

    What rims are these??

    Dunno. Expensive 20" rims, I'd say. Prolly 800 bucks a peice or more. Scary thought. If I only had 5 G's to throw away. :nice: Nice rims but 20's make the car look gangsta. Be better in 19's or 18's.
