    The "I'll Be Happy to Never See These Questions Again" Thread

    People word it in various ways, sometimes with more tack, but it comes down to: "I am thinking of doing mod "X", but I am afraid it might ruin my Mustang. Could someone else please do the mod first and post pics. If it does come out bad (look bad), I rather it was your Mustang that got...

    Just traded my 67 GTA for an 2006 "Pony Package"

    Oh, I just got another shudder. An Allanté convertible with the Northstar... another wonderful car I would never part with (if I was lucky enough to own one). :rolleyes:

    Just traded my 67 GTA for an 2006 "Pony Package"

    Yea. While getting an '06 with the Pony Pkg is great, getting rid of that '67 GTA convertible just makes me shutter.

    Warranty Problem

    Unfortunately, what that dealer said, isn't correct. Fed law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) allows a manufacturer to completely void a warranty if there is any sign of abuse. For cars, racing (including informal street stuff) is considered abuse. If you make serious performance mods...

    Steering wheel shakes when brake is applied

    It is not so much as "cheap" as it is "low weight". The rotors are as thin as they can be, to save on unsprung weight. Even brand new rotors can be warped if the lug nuts aren't properly torqued.

    vert top detailing question...any detail gurus come on in!!

    At least for where I live, it seems that marine (boat) places tend to sell it rather than auto places. :shrug:

    Electric Water Pump

    Pro: If the belt breaks, your water pumps continues to run. A belt is more likely to fail than an electrically driven water pump. :D

    Are your brake lights still working, including the center 3rd brake light?

    Is the Pony Package worth it?

    I think the pony package is the first time Ford has shipped a 6 cyl with fog/driving lamps from the factory. At least not in many, many years. The only problem is that Ford did, IMHO, a much better light/grill design with the pony package than they did with the GT.

    Convertible Roll Bar?

    I don't know for sure if all those are completely new designs. Surely there isn't an "all new" for 2005 (or for 2006) Camaro/Firebird. The new Vette might be. My point, possibly, is that one would have thought that it would have been easier to simply have designed into the new Mustang, some...

    Convertible Roll Bar?

    There are suppose to be new federal roll-over standards coming into affect in calender year 2007. That doesn't automatically mean "roll bar", but something. IMHO, I can't believe that Ford did a total new car design. One Ford itself has said was designed from the start with the convertible...

    Turn Signals & Flashers Won't Work

    On my Ford DVD, it shows it a bit different. There is a 15a fuse, the brake switch, another 15a fuse, and then onto the 3rd brake bulbs or the turn switch. The reason I asked about the cruise control, is that it connects up after the brake switch, but before the 2nd fuse. So, if the cruise...

    Turn Signals & Flashers Won't Work

    Well, then it can't be the turn signal switch. It has to be further back. Another quick question, does your cruise control work OK? Can you set a speed, have your Mustang hold it, then turn it back off by pressing on the brake pedal?

    Turn Signals & Flashers Won't Work

    Before going any further, letting us know if the third brake light still works or not, would be a major clue.

    How important is the interior color to you?

    Reminds me of back when I bought a Firebird (sorry for using that F word here). I wanted it in the dark gray/silver two tone exterior, but every dealer I saw one in that color, had the tan interior. IMHO, the dark gray/silver two tone interior went much better with the dark gray/silver two...

    Converting stock 'scoop' to functional ram air

    Well, if the scoop isn't in the main airstream, then its contribution to drag would be minimal. Also, making it functional will actually decrease drag when contrasted to the same, but non-functional, scoop. Think about it, the air either enters the scoop or the air hits the fake grill...

    How important is the interior color to you?

    Any color so long as it is not black or near black (dark charcoal, midnight grey, etc). I am old enough to remember when black was the only color available on the basic, stripped down, models. So, whenever I see a black interior, I automatically still think cheap, boring, cheap, worthless...

    50 Resto use to sell it too. If you are interested in see it, Mustang Weekly has a set of instructions showing its components and installation.
