  1. Dark Horse premium allocation?

    Both dealers are correct. But I think neither explained themselves well. A salesperson can place and order for anything, any time. But for that order to be worthwhile, it ultimately needs to be paired with an allocation, a slot on the assembly line. Otherwise, the order languishes and...
  2. Will Dark Horse 19X9.5 wheels fit s650 base GT in square setup?

    The attached might be of help.
  3. How do you close your trunk? Without a handle . . .

    I place one finger on each side of the deck lid, bring down in one fluid motion and close. I do not touch the spoiler.
  4. Instrument cluster inoperable

  5. I want my s550 back.

    Reading the OP's post history, I feel it's in their best interest to sell the S650 and move on. Spoiler Alert: the new and used vehicle arena is a buyer's market today. Don't be shocked at the trade-in of this, or any nearly-new vehicle today. If it's any consolation, people buying vehicles can...
  6. Hypothetical Tire Install Question

    Along with other reasons given, I've always felt it could be detrimental to the integrity of the tire itself. The exterior tread and internal cords are laid out in a certain way, with the idea the tire will roll (with associated forces) in one direction. I've seen people do it though. There's...
  7. Putting rim screws in factory wheels?

    Agree with others: drilling into the factory rims is not something I'd do. It's not worth the risk. I'd always be doubting myself and what could happen. If driven on the street and there was an accident, an insurer would be looking to wash their hands of the whole thing, even if the wheels...
  8. Picked up a 60th Anniversary Edition over the weekend.

    The white paint, silver wheels and grey graphics tie together nicely. The interior colors look good and compliment the car as a whole.
  9. New owner questions

    I wait until the Cylinder Head Temperature gauge is 185 F / 85 C and steady before driving aggressively. Until that happens, I drive normally, almost gently. We've had a few temperature-related threads. Below is a Google search for 7G info...
  10. Mustang Rookie - Just ordered one.

  11. New Ford Full Synthetic API SQ Oil is out.

    The 7G requirement is SP or higher. It's OK to mix Motorcraft 5W-30 SP and SQ together. In the API article, the tables show that the current category meets or exceeds previous specifications...
  12. Car cover questions

    I have a Ford Mach 1 indoor cover. I'm noticing some of the same distinctions with the Dark Horse covers. Indoor/Outdoor: - Indoor. Microfiber, with a felt liner. Most people buy/use the indoor cover. It cannot be used outside. - Outdoor. Microfiber. There is no mention of a liner. Could be...
  13. Do 4 new tires require an alignment

    Option 1 ($): If buying one tire, I would not place the old and the new at the rear. The difference in circumference could affect the operation of the Limited Slip Diff. One tire is going to spin faster than the other. Place old and new at the front. With the old and new at the front, you...
  14. Oily Drop on Inside Windshield

    I believe there is one forward-facing light sensor (camera) and one infrared emitter/receiver in the rearview assembly. There maybe more. From reading of other models, I'm left with the impression some of the security electronics are there as well. A "jostle meter" (my word), to detect if...
  15. Oily Drop on Inside Windshield

    There is a gel inside the rearview mirror assembly. The purpose of the gel is to maintain the proper refractive index of light and electronic signals as they pass into and through the windshield. As energy waves pass through glass at an angle or a medium of a different density, those waves...
  16. Does anyone else have this potential rust issue?

    I'm out West. Skye is stored during the Winter. But my Daily Driver and others see temps as cold as -10 F / -23 C. My DD is approaching 20 years old. While I have a light patina from the seals, it's rubber and dirt only. Ford put the 7G through extreme cold and heat tests. I'd think if...
  17. Does anyone else have this potential rust issue?

    I hadn't noticed mine rubbing in any way. Went out to check just now. 2022. Garage kept. Trunk opened and closed countless times. Zero rubber marks to be seen. Never a leak. 7G has had some threads on panel fitment. This is the first I can remember involving the trunk seal rubbing. You're...
  18. Brand new car: wiper fluid hose was disconnected

    Different piece, but the person installing my PPF noticed one of my hood vents wasn't bolted down. It was just sitting, bare posts in holes keeping it in-place. Maybe I would have eventually caught it. He saw the problem while he had the hood liner removed.

Cuba...what makes Cuba interesting...:idea: While Cuba has only 124M barrels of proven oil reserves, they have 5B+ estimated reserves, yet to...
  20. Changing oil after storage

    In the Owners Manual, Ford recommends changing the oil before and after storage. Ford also recommends occasionally running the engine while in storage. During the combustion process, two oxides form. Sulphur oxide, from burning fuel. Nitrogen oxide from the use of the atmosphere. Combined with...
