I have not gone through each page of this thread, so if the following is duplicative, sorry about that...

I think it's good to have a general awareness of almost anything. But specific to this topic, I wouldn't follow the rabbit down the hole too far. Tomes have been written about the BBQ tick, none with a definitive explanation of the root cause, what to avoid or what to do. From my readings, it...

Vehicles are complicated. Sometimes, things need to be repaired immediately before accepting (mechanical break, safety, etc.). Others, not. Some buyers will refuse delivery before concerns are corrected. Others will record the issue and schedule a fix date for later. Some items aren't discovered...

https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/guide-for-newcomers-ordering-vehicles-at-the-dealer.157583/ A1. It's in your best interest to do so. At a minimum, you should have the price of the car, administrative fees and dealer add-ons (none, unless you want them) negotiated before committing to...

Salut, Congrats. Grabber Blue Metallic is what all the cool kids drive. :giggle: Is there a chance the trees or shrubbery could be trimmed back? Outside car covers can present a few concerns. First, placing it on the car, the car should be clean, as in just washed. I would not put a cover on...

Welcome. :fistbump: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/introduce-yourself-to-mustang7g.156050/ I'm going to drone on about several things. This isn't your first rodeo. Maybe some additional feedback will help. :thumbsup:Maybe not.:crazy: Writing things down helps me in many ways. I...

I don't have a photo of my rear valance, but do of the side emblem. The detailer I worked with was an XPEL franchisee; this gave them access to vehicle templates which could be used with a plotter and software. Other brands of protecting materials might have similar programs and systems. To...

The question above and the wording of the opening post are something of a paradox: a value-oriented performance car, with mods, that will retain the highest value over time. I feel you need to re-think your plans for any car, what you're trying to accomplish. Regarding the depreciation angle...

I forgot about it as well. And now that me and the thread have each gotten a bump :giggle:, I wonder if the $50M is for the new Mustang referenced in this thread. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/ford-teases-new-addition-to-the-mustang-stable-coming-in-2025.160971/ The 10R80...

I checked your local dealer: they have a manual GT in-stock right now. Test drive? :rockon: https://www.hardyforddallas.com/new-DallasGa-2024-Ford-Mustang-GT-1FA6P8CF4R5417941 Younger than you OP, but all my vehicles are now and have previously been manuals. I can't speak to the '24, but I'd...

It's my belief it has more to do with protection against salt and the elements of a new car during shipment overseas than the environment the vehicle will ultimately live in. The sea air itself is humid and holds a higher salt content. Foggy and unsettled days, more still. A quick transit time...

It's going to be up to the individual, their desire and style. I'd be cautious, for the following reasons: - What the photos look like on-line and what the materials look like in-person can be two different things. And it'd be great if the build tools at Ford offered views of the exterior of...

I'd recommend everyone reviewing their data once a year, for accuracy. Not only for your credit score and how it directly impacts your finances, access to insurance or rates, but employment. I've used annualcreditreport.com multiple times. Great site. Doesn't take long to go through each of the...

My signature below highlights key dates during my build, and the flow of events. Getting a VIN is a great milestone: it means Ford has committed to the build. You should be getting a scheduled date of production next, if you don't already have one. I didn't have access to or receive my Window...

I'll await confirmations, but If it is like the previous FP design, there is no drain. Most empty it by removing the top cover (in this example, the four screws), then using a use a turkey baster or syringe to remove the contents and put that into a drain pan. Edit: From the FP web site...

https://www.ford.com/ford-insure/ "Ford Insure is underwritten by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and affiliates." I feel it is not worthwhile for a few reasons: - The site mentions driving monitoring to get the deepest discounts. You might be quoted one thing, then realize that was a...

The OLM is a self-contained program within the car. It uses several factors (mileage, time, number of drives, duration of drives, temperatures, etc.) when determining oil life. It decrements the life of the oil based on Ford's formula. The OLM can be seen within the car's menus. If using the...

You are correct. My train of thought was wrong. I was relating to older models of vehicles, where the chassis might be stamped with one series, the engine something else. But yea, you're right. VIN is the VIN. The VIN is what's stamped on the unibody. The chassis #, in the case of many late...

For my purpose and for the Mustang I consider chassis number and VIN the same. Attached is a thread, highlighting what some do overseas as part of a customs and registration inspection. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/who-cut-my-carpet-below-the-seat-to-check-the-vin-number.47715/...

It's a valid concern. For the HP gained, sure, there are more cost-effective means, if not forgoing altogether. I looked at it like this: the Ford Performance, Air Raid filter is made with a cotton gauze, does not need oil and is washable. If keeping the car long-term, buying the filter seemed...
