Sure. If you have a loan, take the deduction. I recommend the same. It is why I made sure to correct the facts up above and point out for anybody reading (most forum users have a note and are paying interest on a loan for their Mustang) that you do not need to itemize to take this deduction...

It only makes a few hundred dollars difference in taxes, and that money paid in interest is gone forever. Paying a couple grand in interest to save a few hundred in taxes is bad math.

You can take this one even if you use the standard deduction, so, if you have a car note, get the interest and put it on your taxes as a deduction and save a couple few hundred bucks in taxes. PS - Charitable deduction for 2025 is available even if you take the standard deduction. So there...

Ok, I understand now. I thought you were saying you did not see what I was describing. Instead, you say it is worth it because of what you gain. Reasonable explanation. :like:

Ok. I am no dash cam expert. But, well, they are not all displayed with that fisheye look, right? I mean, the Garmin seems to be advertising this "wide angle" feature, and you are not going to get a wider angle without distorting the view on the screen. Right? Or am I wrong somehow?

In fairness to everybody else - I only use Track Mode for fun. When fun time is over, I put it back in Normal Mode and set the cruise control. This has been my trick to have no tickets in the Dark Horse yet.

You must have been hanging out with me and my friends.

Wait, bountifulgoose has not convertible top, and he put two in the back seat.

I don't know. I just ran across it today with that YouTube video and thought it looked pretty neat. BTW, he spins out at the end of the video, but there is a neat pass he finally makes of a car, very aggressively, when the car slides and has to back out at the exit of a turn, and he leaves the...

To my eye, it seems to distort the view in an attempt to get a wider angle. I am sort of picky about that sort of thing from competing in long range precision rifle. I would not want my optic to distort the view, so I guess I notice it when the video from a dash camera does the same thing.

I don't know what squaring the corner is, but a late turn in, late apex is going to give you the fastest exit speed, and that is not the shortest way through the turn. A traditional apex, in the middle, is the shortest way through the turn. That does not, however, provide the highest exit...

That's what I've been trying to say! 😁 "Feel the power" = marketing Yep, Sport Mode = marketing.

I dunno. I almost thought I messed up when our microwave fried and I took my Mustang to get a new one instead of the SUV. I finally got it shoehorned onto the front passenger seat. It was for sure not going in the trunk or the back seat, as there was no way to wedge it though either opening.

Thanks for the additional info. I have the handling package wheels/tires, and if I were to carry track tires, they would each be 11" wide with 295 or 305 or 315 tires or 30/68-18 slicks, so I am curious whether I can do the same thing. Sounds like I can one way or another. Obviously with...

No real tram lining. I wanted cooled seats, so I did not want Recaro's, and this car did not have Recaro's. If anything, I wish the "cooled" seats were colder, like my old Denali. But the seats are not so great on the track. And yeah, I have to be careful with the splitter, but I wanted...

I'd be curious what you say now that you have seen what ZXMustang posted - whether the Sport and Track mode throttle mapping are different in your Ecoboost. but I noticed you drive an Ecoboost premium and not a base model, so we might have to ask him what he meant by base model.

🤣 Yep. There is no way to apply 500 horsepower in a turn.

I picked up my Dark Horse with handling package used with about 800 miles on it. It was the only one within like 500 miles of me at the time, and the price was right, so I grabbed it. It has been my favorite car I have ever owned so far.

Is the trunk different in a convertible, or is bountifulgoose's wife just that much better at packing than you are?
