  1. Swapping out stock auto shift knob.

    Just a more natural motion than pushung down on the collar with the knuckles. But not a choice with this car....down it is... Ahhhh Ryan....The resident ballbuster. Like Stadler and Waldorf all rolled into one.:crazy:
  2. Glass cleaners

    I read the box....they specifically said don't wipe your car with it. It will dull any gloss painted surface.
  3. First S650 2024 Ford Mustang Diecast! 1/18 Dark Horse in Carbonized Gray

    Thanks…I build a LOT of models….lol. I was determined to make one my own. Just get a Welly 1/24 and a can of Testors enamel and a can of Testors #1814 clear and spray away! Every part that is not the main body is a plastic piece that comes off.
  4. First S650 2024 Ford Mustang Diecast! 1/18 Dark Horse in Carbonized Gray

    Here’s the one I ordered. Still plenty more from this seller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267355513079
  5. First S650 2024 Ford Mustang Diecast! 1/18 Dark Horse in Carbonized Gray

    Couldn’t find any 1/24 Silver S650’s so I stripped a yellow Welly 1/24 and painted it myself. They strip down nicely for bare body painting! Just sprayed silver and a layer of clear while wet. Slicked out just fine. The digital gages are printed white, so I colored them with a Sharpie…damn...
  6. First S650 2024 Ford Mustang Diecast! 1/18 Dark Horse in Carbonized Gray

    It’s out now…Just ordered one. Easily found on eBay/ Amazon.
  7. Swapping out stock auto shift knob.

    Lol….so far I’m training myself that just thumb release to go in reverse, then keep my $$#@! thumb off the shifter to go in Drive. Just pull it back, it won’t go in Manual if we can just keep our %@$! thumb off the top of the shifter. 🤬 Most times you have to go in reverse before shifting in...
  8. Glass cleaners

    Well.... I would not be happy if I scratched my windshield using a Magic Eraser. I'm not risking trying it. My luck it would...
  9. My Adventures in Upgrading the Subwoofer and Center Speaker

    well said steveo! I had the Shaker 1000 system in my 06 GT, and it cranked. Sounded good even when I pulled the subwoofer out (was bad weight behind rear wheels). The best part was the 6 CD changer, but my year had no bluetooth. But CD’s sounded so good.
  10. Walk away locking

    My 06 GT didn’t even have bluetooth….lol. This avalanche of features is all new to me. It was borderline overwhelming at first.
  11. A Tale of Two GTs

    Does your DH have the premium leather trim package? It really helps. I have the GT Premium package….I think the interior is nice with the leather trim and door panels… and they have put some soft touch plastic on the dash. The cheapest plastic parts are down low and not seen easily, so they...
  12. Audio quality

    I forgot….this absolutely shocked me….in my old 06 GT, local FM stations sounded like weak AM….just awful. Same local FM station sounds almost as good as SXM In this car!!
  13. Swapping out stock auto shift knob.

    Same reason I ordered one from Billetworkz. I am tired of dumb-thumbing the shifter all the way back to Manual! Though I ordered a month ago and still waiting for what I exactly ordered. To be fair, I got the engraved weighted knob in 2 days, but didn’t like how heavy the weighted knob felt...
  14. First oil change--checked the oil next day and it was barely above the min mark

    Oh ouch. I might have this wrong, but the driver’s side is the “clean side” for catch cans, and many just put one on the passenger side which for some reason catches much more. I have that right?
  15. Glass cleaners

    OK…I am definitely trying that tomorrow!!!!:clap:
  16. Walk away locking

    I’m sure many of you know this, but just for giggles, I’ll mention that touching the top of the door handle on the little lock icon also locks the car. It may be a “no shit Sherlock” thing, but I didn’t know this until I was reading my manual over again…maybe one or two here didn’t know either.
  17. Automatic or 6-speed - honest feedback

    Maybe because I’m still breaking the car in and not driving it too hard while paddle shifting. Only 750 miles so far. For me it seems downshifts are much more immediate than upshifting. In my car there is definitely a lag. These car have adaptive technology, so depending on how each person...
  18. First oil change--checked the oil next day and it was barely above the min mark

    I don’t know how much the catch cans interfere with the dipstick, but the tower brace isn’t too bad once I figured out the trick to it. The dipstick just pulls up to the side of the brace, but when putting it back, have the flat side of the stick face the engine, and lay it across the top of...
  19. My Adventures in Upgrading the Subwoofer and Center Speaker

    Dusman is correct. The lower the ohm, the less resistance there is. In high power applications, it can strain the amp trying to power the lower ohm speaker becuase it is drawing more power than designed for the amp. Now for a tiny 12.5w center speaker, probably not a huge difference in strain...
  20. Audio quality

    SXM is OK. The problem is the top 40 crap they play. Sound quality is decent but varies from song to song. Bluetooth from my phone library varies wildly. Some albums or even entire band catalogs like Gorillaz or Beck sound amazing in the 10 sp. B&O. While other bands from the 70’s sound...
