That's my wife's dream car, she loves cars with fins - but she would have to get it repainted. She hates that color on cars.

Ordered a new windshield. Started with a classic star break, but when they started the repair it cracked. Second windshield on this car. I never saw the stone this time, just heard a "click" while driving this time.

Washed and waxed it

In addition to the Mustang, right now I am working on a project with one of my grandsons. A 1974 Triumph Spitfire. He wanted to work on a project car with me and his first choice was a 1999 TransAm like we used to have, but I told him we needed to look at something easier. The Triumph is on a...

That looks good, where did you get the welt? I did that on my 2006 so it's been many years and hadn't thought about it on my 2024.

Put the summer wheels and tires on! Hopefully our weather cooperates and we don't see a drop in temperature again or snow flurries like this weekend.

The car is really nice, I was there when it was revealed by Steve Saleen and delivered to Dana. Nice sound with the exhaust they put on, the interior upgrades are really nice.

Yesterday (Saturday, April 18, 2026) we did National Mustang Day with our club MOCSEM. Started the day at Flat Rock Assembly Plant where the Mustang is built, then a police escort parade of 100+ Mustangs over to I-275 to head to the second location for the day. We had expected 300 Mustangs, but...

Let me think about it -- and see what my tax return looks like. Hopefully I get that this week and know whether I am writing a check to the IRS or they are writing a check to me this year. I think that I may break even, but waiting for my CPA to get me the news still.

How much is shipping to Michigan, zip code 48843?

The reality is that all Ford has to do is say your mod contributed to the failure. They don't have to "prove" anything until YOU start an action in court and bring in YOUR expert to say it was Ford's fault. It isn't anywhere near as simple as you state.

My wife has a new Cadillac CT5 and the shifter takes some getting used to. In order to go into reverse you have to push the button the side and push the shifter FORWARD to go to reverse. To go to drive you pull it back. But if you are going from park to drive, you have to push the button. If...

I have a GT with performance package, with a steep driveway and a big curb to go over coming in. Because of that I enter at an angle with no issues of scraping. My wife's Lincoln MKZ would scrape backing out if we went straight and had back seat passengers. Her new Cadillac CT5 so far seems to...
