    I think you need to grow up. Unlike many unhelpful people who come in and speculate/give "their opinion"(not this thread - most everything else in here is topnotch stuff), I'm giving real info here. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I've posted what I know. You're the one who started...

    Well, I did loans for quite a while. I suppose I'd better go tell Bank of America, Countrywide, etc... that they're doing business wrong, per Mickey21. I know a lot of people come on here and talk with authority on things about which they know nothing, I'm not one of those people. I've been...

    cleaning windows w/ louvers?

    You can unscrew the Roush ones, so it's no problem with them at all.

    Credit Rating ?

    Credit score is credit score. Banks don't maintain it. When you go for a loan, it's a part of which "product" the bank will offer you, based upon other factors. The banks product guidelines aren't the same as your credit score. Which product you qualify for may depend upon your score. Also...

    Credit Rating ?

    Get credit. Pay it off. Keep putting things on your credit card, keep paying it off. Keep your debt-to-income ratio low (what you owe v's what you earn). Get at least four cards/lines of credit going. Banks don't keep/change your credit score, btw. I don't recall for sure, but I don't...

    How reliable are Mustang's?...

    Over 1 year old, 7K on it. Have the Skipper 500 issues. Had the gas tank issue - fixed but now have the new gas tank issue (sometimes can only get 1/2 tank of gas). I've driven from the Left Bank to Phoenix, Las Vegas and Palm Springs and have been surprised by the relative comfort of the...

    what do you think of this intake?

    Yup, and as I recall, they were very sharp in dealing with people who had the faulty units, too. You just need to be sure some punk isn't trying to pass on his duff unit, like the guy did in TMS.

    what do you think of this intake?

    Is this the brand which used to fall apart? Do a thorough search to check on this. If it is, I believe JLT worked very quickly to resolve the issue, but you never know which version you're buying from Ebay (if it's a private seller). If you're looking to buy this unit, I'd check with JLT to...

    The "Way Forward"

    I think one aspect of this is that Ford is experiencing the same thing as many other industries in the US - the basic cost/standard of living here means that, even without the unions, labor (skilled and unskilled) costs here just can't compete with developing countries. Even if every Ford...

    Help a brother out!

    My bad. You're right, there are plenty of people out there (all walks of life!) who'll gladly mug the unwary, so your caution is wise. Too many times, I read "expert" opinions on stuff, which is usually nothing more than prejudice. I posted re the TB, based on what I felt my experience was...

    05 Mustang closeouts

    Um, no. More like the price = $6.00, but the bartender wants to f@#$ with you and make a bit of extra cash on the side, so they charge you $6.50.

    Any way to hear exhaust set ups in person?

    S197 Saleen exhaust (see http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=610808) is a little removed from the normal setup. You'd be better off listening to my setup. Though the Magnaflow xpipe adds something to the sound on my car, it'll give you an indication as to what to expect from...

    Do I need a tune when installing aftermarket wheels??

    If you match the stock diameter, your speedo won't be off. If you differ, I'd tune the new revs per mile in.

    Any way to hear exhaust set ups in person?

    Try and get to a local gathering. I had the Flowmasters on my 05, before my accident, then got Magnaflows put on as a part of the Roush conversion (Flows are now in my garage). The Flowmasters were meaner sounding, but had some cabin drone. The Magnaflows were better than stock, but nothing...
