If you have speed bumps or “traffic calming” devices around you, buy a Raptor. You can take speed bumps at 65mph, the really steep, sharp ones at 45 mph. So I’ve heard. as for the MDH, find another way if you have the really steep ones nearby. Also, +1 @Skye If it looks like you’re going to...

Well? It’s afternoon already...

Good luck !

Were you coloring outside the lines? You know, drifting side to side a bit? We get that in the wife’s Lincoln sometimes.

here’s no doubt a driving reason why this is being taken so seriously: https://www.kens5.com/article/news/nation-world/ford-to-pay-millions-penalty-for-moving-too-slowly-on-recall/507-f0c8ead2-650d-47e6-b605-b90c1db702b9

if you didn’t wipe out, it was a WIN !

I know it hurts but my first car with low profile tires was in the 1990’s. I was not wealthy for sure and I had 4 tires plugged, one of which was plugged twice. I think I kept it 2 years-ish. I’d kill to have the Trofeo’s last more than 5k miles, but they’ll be goners before that ever hits.

also, when you shut down, the screen reverts to the “default” ugly orange

yeah... until they do. I just had service done on my Raptor - I carry 2 spares in the bed and have them in rotation, so when I picked up there was some kind of oil ALL OVER right bed tire, which came from left front. under the truck - oil --everywhere--. Oh $hit. turns out the tech spilt...

Because that’s exactly what we need, to hypocritically try to use a law that a large portion of the hot rodding public completely ignores and very few people on earth actually have authority to enforce. Even if the dealer returned it to stock, there could be down the road warranty concerns...

Years ago, I bought a ’69 Cougar, that some squid at Dahlgren stuffed a 460 into. clearance was VERY tight. It had a 3.90 Posi rear, C6 and despite having mufflers, was the loudest street legal car I’ve owned. Like you explained, at highways speeds, I could see my wife’s lips moving, but all...

Or... Maybe he didn’t 😲

It wouldn’t surprise me if there is also a USA stop sale order. If the gauge cluster goes blank you can’t see your: RPM, vehicle speed, engine temp, tire PSI, gear etc. in the US, that’s not just a recall, it’s a safety recall. That said, it’s not going to spontaneously combust or lose...

any reason you don’t want continuous gear display ?

I don’t think Ford offers one. I got this one: https://www.automotiveauthorityllc.com/collections/mustang-gt-spare-tire-1/products/spare-wheel-and-tire-kit-for-2015-2017-ford-mustang-gt-with-brembo-brakes Note: Dark Horse requires a 1/4” spacer for extra clearance.

I had a couple dealers offer that but the ones that did were doing so with a premium price well above the best deal I had on the table. That said, most of my vehicles have had some modifications, some more than others. I don’t usually start modifications until I’ve had some seat time to know...

this is a feature, not a bug! Sync3 it was CarPlay or nothing, you had to disconnect to get factory navigation back. I’m not sure about the dropdown for the turns.

This reminds me of of the WW2 “dazzle” camo. https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/dazzle-ships/ I think it would be cool if Ford would offer that paint scheme :sunglasses:

At least Black Betty still has a nice... rear end. I took the wife to a dance hall in town. Came out to find this: way out of focus, but yes, that is a less than 1 inch gap between this nitwit’s SUV and Black Betty’s well sculpted posterior. no impact. and of course... note the...
