I wonder what the worse offense dealers impose on new car buyers? I can't think of anything but those secondary price stickers offering VIN etched windows (that fact makes them easier to break), plastic door guards (which always crack and fall off), window protection films (their ills are...

Obviously, the shorter the tire aspect ratio, the harder the 'thump'. That's one advantage of longer aspect ratios.

Reboot the system.

Making Mustang its own brand did have some tax advantages, I don't think that is the case nowadays. Perhaps a few CPAs here can comment on that issue? Although, isn't that essentially what Ford did when they made the 'electric' Ford division apart from the Ford 'ICE' division?

Any decision made by Ford (or any other maker for that matter), are all based on current marketing segments or segments they want to explore. Since the manufactures know a lot more about trends than the general public, any suggestion about where they should go is based on personal bias. I sort...

One of my friends is a glass installer. He calls this 'effect' Character! That word fills a lot of spaces.

Don't just use any old plastic tape. Try 3M 88 or 3M 99 for best results (high temp ratings).

The sad truth is, it is not just race ways, but just about all forms of racing. While still popular, drag racing and NASCAR are seeing dwindling crowds. This doesn't speak of the cost of each of these endeavors, which affect vehicle and track owners alike. And then there is the high cost of...

I did mention in another thread about Ford switching to aluminum for the Mustang. That would save a couple of hundred pounds give or take?

Rather than focus on an individual, we need to look at the buyers trends. Their buying preferences mean hybrid power trains are here to stay (regardless of individual V8 bias). Electric vehicles have a unique niche and are here to stay as well, albeit in a relatively-small market segment. There...

All I think about when states require front plates is simply... Revenue! I did a search on the net, and here is one reason some states require front plates. It is indeed an oxymoron statement if you think about it: Having a front plate allows officers to verify vehicle information before...

Be darn glad you don't own a GM product with the 6.2L V8. Or a GM truck with the 2.7L HO engine. What the hey, an issue with the BCM is reparable in a matter of a couple of hours. Imagine how ling it takes to get a replacement engine from GM? Current V8 replacements are over 3 weeks, and the...

I do own one, and I wouldn't buy it until I knew a few real-world details. Larger intercoolers can be a welcomed addition if you're racing and/or live in the desert SW where temps get about 90° or so. The trade off is the larger volume adds some turbo lag. In a stock 2024 Eco-Boost the turbo lag...

it really isn't a heart beat. Record it, duplicate it several times, and then play it at a higher speed. Sound exactly like an old oater running horse.

Hum. I find the Cruise Control to be very functional, easy to use, and almost nonintrusive.

Way too heavy! What ford should do, is make the Mustang body out of Aluminum. They certainly have had enough experience in making truck bodies. Can you imagine even an Eco-Boost weighing 400 pounds less? I can!

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. Modern vehicles (like Mustangs of late) can be traced without any odd devices. Nonetheless, any dealer who put one of those devices on my vehicle without my permission, would get sued quicker than a New York minute! Even Apple AirTags can get you...

For those who find one of these in their vehicle in the future... Pull it Out and give it to a trucker friend. Tell them to pass it around—yes they DO know what to do with them. From what my trucker neighbor told me, it drives the dealers crazy! Bless them!

And let us not forget those early (and some late ones too!) sunroofs! The one in my old Dodge Sport had a drip pan around it. The problem was, the drip pan drain tube was in the rear wheel wells; they were always clogged. After a rain accelerating or stopping caused the water to end up inside...

I drive an Eco-Boost. Enough said!
