    Redfire stripes for Torch Red?

    I negotiated painted on stripes as part of the deal with my new car. When it comes in the body shop is painting on black ones for $350. I assume this is their cost or something. It was a deal-maker for the sale of the vehicle, so i'm sure they're not too choked about it. :nice:

    Compatibility error ???

    Yeah i think thats good because black is the only color that looks good with it. Same issue when i ordered my '99, only color you have ever been able to get is black.

I assume i will need experienced help with installing...

    Yet Another IUP Question!

    if you already have a build date you should be fine. Those of us who are unlucky enough not to have one, have been changed to "compatibility error"

    Compatibility error ???

    i have the same error. Keep checking on it i guess, they update the systems every thursday, so check for updates on friday. I'm thinking that those of us with the error wont get built till at least Feb.

    Is Ford really taking a production break over the holidays ???

    Is Ford really taking a production break over the holidays ???

    i don't understand why people are getting so pissy about Ford taking a vacation. If you were working really hard earning a living making cars for people that just *can't* wait an extra 2 weeks for no logical reason other than that they want that car *right now* wouldn't you want a vacation...

    Approx. Price on *Painted* Stripes

    yeah, that was one reason why i bought the car from this dealer, because they took the painted stripe price down so low. That was the selling point on the car for me... plus, i'm only paying $200 over invoice. woo. :D It's a really small dealer, so they are pretty desperate to do any business.

    Approx. Price on *Painted* Stripes

    mine will be painted on upon arrival of my car. That was part of the car negotiations. I will be paying $350 for them. Another dealer quoted me $1295 though that could be a load of crap?

    Newbie Question

    mine gets 23/27 pretty true to the sticker. I live in snow country, and i'll tell you what she needs to do... take it out in a bigass parking lot when it snows (preferably one with no light poles) and slide it around for like an hour. That'll get her used to it, tell her to put it into...

    O/T What do you do for a living

    I'm a purchasing agent for a commercial plumbing/hydronics (snowmelting) company. We do all those huge mechanical rooms and snowmelt systems at all the big resorts/rich people's houses/airports/schools/city buildings around here. It's actually a really interesting job. :nice:

    Dependability/Durability of the 3.8?

    my '99 has 170,000 miles on it, and i have not done a damn thing to it in the way of matinence besides oil changes (and only every 5,000 miles cuz' i'm weird like that and don't think it needs them sooner), it got a new engine fan at one point, and a tune up at 100k, but it has NEVER broken down...
