I've broken in a car 100% on the highway. Simple, as you said, just vary the speed and "punch it" some now and then. Worked fine in that car.

Oh, I know. This is why I don't ever use a car wash. Washing and waxing my car is my way of doing it. It's worked since I've had cars.

You're exactly right. The wrecker driver told me I should not have lived through the drama but I had not a scratch or bruise. Wear your seat belt! The air bag didn't go off, thank goodness. I don't believe in them 100%. Since then, when driving with the public, I drive way more defensively...

There are times when "automated traction control" as I will call it, is good and times when it simply won't help you and may hurt things. It was a long time ago, but I'm convinced it hurt my efforts to save the rear end of my '07GT before it did a head on into a divider wall. Things happen...

Mine is as it should be. In Georgia, you're going to need it to work right. Mine would be at my dealer to get it fixed. My dealer would fix it too. Knock on wood, but so far, it is the best dealer I've ever dealt with. I also just prayed that my list of problems would have that one as the...

No doubt. I just gave the 2000 Tacoma to my grand daughter and it ran like the day I bought it new for my daughter. Just looked at the window sticker and it was $19K plus $1100 for some neat aluminum wheels with Michelin tires that lasted forever. The ONLY repairs were a leaky valve cover...

I never thought I would say this but big companies actually do not care about the people that send them money. I'm dealing with that in other industries as a "customer" right now. The bigger they get, the less they care, just as in government and health care. Waste becomes larger too. I'm...

You make all valid points. I do believe in climate change, just not man made climate change. Any petroleum geologist or any other kind of geologist (my father was a petroleum geologist and I have both some education in it and drilling experience) will tell you that climate has changed and will...

I have an automatic for the first time in a "sports car" but can't remember any manual transmission I've ever had (many) that didn't whine in one gear or another. FWIW.

Yes, I think hydrogen would work well, AFTER, all the associated problems with using it are overcome. I apparently did miss the gist of your post. People are working on it right now but progress is very slow. Hydrogen can go boom bigger and quicker than gasoline. I am, obviously, an oil and...

We won't be an all electric car country, ever. Sooner or later, the "experts" in the nanny state will realize it costs much more, all costs considered, to make and operate an electric vehicle. Besides, just to accomodate the recharging of these cars would require doubling the grid which will...

This is why I said "OMG". It's VERY easy to blow through a clear coat and DA's are good, if you're good with them. Agree, best to go to a good detailer in this situation.

Yes, on the brake fluid and paint. I have bled many motorcycle systems and DOT4 doesn't like paint AT ALL. Good luck on painting the calipers. That was a bummer.

Not trying to be "whatever" but I have a stock Honda Civic that will spin the front tires from a stand still and will handle pretty darn good around town for something with essentially no HP compared to my Mustang. I respect both. The car is one thing, other drivers opens up a whole new world...

Ugh, Ford against "only" the customer. Don't know exactly what you've been through other than hell so don't know what to say other than maybe not back off. I bet they're paying Their paint people more than your local shop but....."so what" is apparently their attitude. Wish I had a good...

No. I already know what I need to know about this alien. He doesn't even have a Mustang or a girl and you apparently haven't picked on that yet. Get some advice. Maybe Medicare will help ya.....LOL!!

Is there concern that Ford won't warranty these paint defects? This is clear cut warranty stuff to me. Separately, got bad news. I used to run a company that was a Tier 1 supplier to Ford's Louisville Truck Plant right before they got out of the class 8 truck business. Back in that day and...

OMG......The Google method sounds pretty harsh on a painted car. Other than that, I just don't know. Maybe that Aussie detailer knows.

He needs advice. Get it?

You are the problem. Everything was doing just fine before you posted up a silly poll thinking car forums need to be saved from your contrived "problems". What can you do? Don't post anymore or respond to your own posts. You're an attention seeker. Period. Get some.
