😆..................1970ish; my bud up the street from my parents house had a '69 Nova; 307/2bbl. Took really good care of it.
I was BSing with him one day as he was changing his oil/filter in his folk's driveway. As he was pouring the last quart into the engine, his Dad came out of the house...
Given my vast previous "rattle can" experience in making small parts more better beautiful ..... 🤪
To my amateur eye; it looks like the manufacturers aren't ensuring the metal surface/s on the affected vehicles are contaminant free; causing eventual paint delamination, or maybe there's...
Heck yea! 👍
It's a shame there are multiple Reality Shows on TV on stupid **** like UFOs and Big Feet; when those show's wanna be investigators could be spending their time much more constructively investigating real hi rez photographic evidence of Mystery Mustangs Among Us! :wink:
Just...
It ain't no joke either; the potential for catastrophic failure and injury is quite real.
"At the heart of the problem is the airbag’s inflator, a metal cartridge loaded with propellant wafers, which in some cases has ignited with explosive force. If the inflator housing ruptures in a crash...

@FishPerson sorry to her about your Acura! Like others noted; if pros WANT your car they'll take/get it. All anti theft systems can do is slow them down to whatever degree, and "might" deter amateurs looking for a joy ride (maybe).
I'd say you're pretty well protected with the OEM alarm...
I like the glass dash more than I thought I would. "But" if I had the choice between the dash in the 2016 Focus RS I traded on my GT or my GT's dash----I'd take the RS's dash hands down.
Also; I test drove a couple of 2017 GT350s before I bought my '24 GT; I liked their dash layout much...
Yea; when I walked into my dealer's showroom this spring I intended to order a '24, but when they told me it would be a 6 to 8 month delivery period I noted the '25s would be out before then (even at the 6 month mark). I asked if the '24 order price quote would still be good, and they said no...
Yes, I wipe off any excess (on any interior surface; plastic or otherwise) with a microfiber or old terry cloth towel. NPs so far!
Stop by; I'll give you a free can! 👍
I use Meguiars leather wipes on EVERYTHING.
Because I'd buy a can of them; stash it; then forget I had it, and buy another. I've got 4 cans of the stuff 😵. The neighbors chased me out of their garage when they caught me trying to clean their leather seats for them!
Ingrates! :wink:
