Same thing happened to me when I was replacing the amber side marker lights with white ones on a Subaru WRX I had years ago. Cars today are made to crumple hence the lightweight steel used.
Years ago I know that it was better to put a convertible top up if you weren't going to be using the car on a semi-daily basis, but today tops are made much better. I hate the wrinkles if it's left down for an extended period of time, but they do seem to work themselves out somewhat if I leave...
I've tried two different mobile detailers in the last couple of years and while they do an ok job, they're not as finicky as I am and their prices have escalated to the point where I think they should be doing a better job for the money they're asking for. Any suggestions?
A broken right ankle in 2013 put an end to my heel/toe days of downshifting unfortunately so having the rev match feature that works well is just fine by me.
Never thought I would use the rev match feature after 55 years of driving manuals, so I must be getting lazy, but I really love it. Perfect rev match every time.
I live about ½ mile from the ocean as the crow flys, 72 years old, single and no accidents since I was 17 and I'm paying $122/mth from State Farm for my 2024 GT, PP, manual convertible. I have a $500 deductible for both collision and Comprehensive with 300/500 liability. My 2021 392 Jeep...
Interesting, because upon reading this page in the manual I just went out into my garage and turned it on and I added it to my favorite button so I can turn it on and off as needed, although here in Flatistan Florida I would hardly ever use it. 😎
Just what I want, to have the back lot shag boy pickup my manual GT Mustang and go for joyride with his buddies before or after having it serviced, hahaha
I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, but for the first few months of production the PP was restricted to customer orders only and dealers weren't able to order a PP Mustang for stock with that option, which is why you rarely saw a PP on the dealers floor unless it was a customer ordered car...
There have been a number performance convertibles built over the decades that have entered into competition. Today I personally wouldn't actually race a convertible but I would do a track day with one. All the Mustang convertible needs is a little more chassis stiffening, a rollbar and a...
My MT86 trans in my GT has a little gear whine in 1st and also slightly less so in 2nd. I actually like the sound, but to hear real whine, listen to an old Muncie M22 in 1st gear, now that's gear whine!. These' are just some of the aural delights we get to listen to in some high performance...
