    Anyone Into Drivers Education?

    This is probably one of his best posts to date! YES....Drivers Education is way too lacking in this country! Not just for teenage drivers. Way too many adults drive like idiots these days. Take for example..in Germany you have a high cost for the liscense to begin with, take driven and...

    Road Rage Incident

    Not to defend the guy in the Dodge (I have a '02 Dodge 1500 Quad Cab daily driver and a NEW '05 Mustang GT) but he may have had some idiot do something stupid in front of him you did not see. You can't see around my truck and probably same for him. I have had that happen in my truck when a...

    K&N Dissappointment

    The WIX and Balwin are national brands, but not everyone carries them. Many of the filters out there are manufactured by the same companies, just re-named for the company that contracted with them. Many of the Auto Companies contract out to these same manufactures with certain Specification...

    Dead!!

    You could still have a cell dead or very weak cell in the battery. It may show you have a good battery during test but sometimes it does not (been there!). You may also have a loose cable somewhere or your battery terminal cables were not tight or making good contact. Also, if you do a lot of...

    Red Leather in a Vert?

    Do you leave your top down all the time???? I traded in a '91 RX7 Convertable (I bought it new) on my new '05 GT Coupe (w/Red Leather), and really did not have any problems with fading. Always use a good quality leather protector (Lexol, McGuires, Mothers, etc...) with a UV protectant on it...

    Head rests

    One more thought on getting your seat and headrest adjusted right....since I am 6'1+" the seat in my '05 GT is all the way back, then I raised the seat a bit, tilted it back and adjusted the back until I got a better angle for drivnig comfortably, shifting, etc. It is not totally optimal, but...

    Mustang makes top three list of most hated cars on BMW M3 forum...

    Considering the fact that the stock M3 is a very tweaked 3 series car and the stock GT is well...stock???? Comparing the two is a little stretch considering that fact. Now when the Cobra comes out, it should be more apples to apples comparrison so to speak of modified stock vs modified stock...

    RPM question

    Some good thoughts above...having owned several sticks over the years, I have to learn each car over as to what feels right. In my '05 GT normally around neighborhood and town 2000-3000 (depending on traffic and speed limit), onto the highway around 3000-3500 and onto the interstate around...

    Mustang makes top three list of most hated cars on BMW M3 forum...

    This is getting really out of hand and way too funny! Just because some of you think that you have to be redneck or Southern to own a muscle car, don't know the crowd you are talking to here. We are from all over the country and overseas too! All classes & educations of guy & girl car nuts...

    Head rests

    Remember the "Head Rest" is not for resting your head while driving, but to keep your head from snapping back in an accident and causing you more harm or breaking your neck! Ditto to previous, adjust your seat back a bit. If you are still uncomfortable, remove it and turn it around. I would...

    K&N Dissappointment

    Remember that even with more air flow with a drop in K&N filter or other brand, you are still drawing through the OEM filter box inlet. The K&N may help a very small amount, but a good CAI will do a lot more since it is designed to be much much less restrictive. But you will need to re-tune...

    Nitro Package?

    Even the Saleens are too pricey at $3600 for 20" Wheels and tires set. They are full of it! Even Boyd Coddington's wheels with tires can be had for under $2500 and his wheels are a bit pricey, but very nice. Looked up a price on the Foose Nitrous Wheels for $554 a piece, so even at this most...

    '05 Transmission problems

    Interesting that the dealer rebuilt your transmission. At 400 miles my manual started making a loud roaring sound. Took it to the dealer and a week later it was replaced. Ford told them to replace it, not repair it. No issues, no "we'll look into it", no rebuild, no BS......There was/is an...
