    what a piece of junk

    I think it's interesting that a 2nd generation GM buyer just happened to buy an '05 GT and just happened to breakdown immediately after he bought it. What drove you to buy a Mustang over say, a GTO? Could it have anything to do with the fact that it looks like the "Mercedes of Rental...

    43,000 for a 2005 GT conv...

    MSRP or less I paid MSRP for my GT vert here in SoCal and frankly, it hurt my pride a little. My GT cost $33650 with 5-speed, IUP, SAB, Shaker 1000 and upgraded wheels + TTL. I really didn't want the Shaker 1000 but it obviously wasn't a deal breaker. I called the dealer who had the...

    Some pics after Zaino

    Blk05- The water where I live is very hard with high mineral content. I use the Mr. Clean cartridge system and I've been very pleased with that. You have to filter hard water if you don't want spotting. So, unless you want to rinse your car with distilled purified water, get yourself a...

    Convertible Top removal question?

    That's why we bought convertibles, right? If I didn't want the wind blowing in my hair I would have got a coupe!

    Forgot to Introduce Myself

    Msrp + Jewels- I paid MSRP for my GT vert and I've never paid MSRP for anything in my life! After getting misinformation from the dealer where I placed my order and several months of mental agonizing, I took the plunge and paid MSRP because that's the reality of the market for GTs right...

    Does Your Car Have A Twin?

    I saw another Satin Silver GT convertible this weekend. I don't know if it was manual (like mine) or auto. I'm seeing a lot more GTs around town now than 2 or 3 months ago. If I wanted exclusivity, I would have bought a Ferrari F430 Spider...or I could have 6 differnt GT convertibles for...

    2,200 Miles a few kills anyone else?

    In a real race with equal drivers a Mustang GT will not beat a M3. The M3 does 0-60 in 5 seconds. So, don't go driving around thinking that you're behind the wheel of a M3 killer or you might just get yourself killed. :(

    Payment Help

    I paid cash for my car with a personal check and drove it off the lot...no problem. The check cleared 4 business days later. I think it's a matter of your credit rating plus whether or not you have any other equity you're putting into the deal (e.g. trade). If you want you can get a cashiers...

    Car Wash + Wax time what to use?

    I used Zaino products with FANTASTIC results. http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc I used Dawn on the first wash (per Zaino instructions) and now I use the Mr. Clean wash system with deionized rinse and Zaino Car Wash instead of the Mr. Clean soap. I highly recommend both...

    Does anyone know if there is a website that contains all of the TSBs issued for the 2005 Mustang?

    Japanese Mustang!!!

    I've never worn a bowtie before but if GM could build a stylish, reliable, competitive product with a Camaro badge then I'd check it out.

    Japanese Mustang!!!

    Con- I missed WWII by 2+ decades. However, I was an excellent student and enjoyed history class. There's plenty about the history of "our great nation" that I'm not too proud of either (e.g. "Manifest Destiny", slavery, Japanese internment, using "the" bomb...2X) Those who do not...

    Japanese Mustang!!!

    German cars are so tight because if you shoved a lump of coal up the typical German's behind, you'd have a diamond in less than a week. They can't stand things being "out of tolerance"! :bang: I think that same passion for conformity is also responsbile for millions of Holocaust dead...

    Tale of Sorrow (Damnitsyellow, I'd like your opinion)

    MyBlueOval's Silver Oval! :owned: Well, I did it and I'm not regretting it (paid MSRP). While I couldn't find a WV blue I did find a satin silver GT convertible, 5-speed, air bags, shaker 1000. I drove it down PCH today and it was a blast! :banana: Yes, I spent $2k more than I would...

    Tale of Sorrow (Damnitsyellow, I'd like your opinion)

    I found a car locally that has what I want. It's silver (my 2nd choice) instead of WV blue. With luck, I'll take the plunge this weekend and cancel the order from that less than truthful dealer-o-mine. :p
