Indeed! Look into HPDE events. Major car clubs (BMW, Porsche, Mustang, NASA, Audi) put on great events, with instruction, and they're generally quite safe and a lot of fun! This is just one example, use the search function for tracks near you.

I do a bit of HPDE and I always stick in the tow hook just in case I should slide off the track and need a helping hand. If no hook is available, they'll just grab onto whatever is easiest (suspension, etc.) and yank away. Their priority is to get you off the track pronto, not worrying about...

over the past couple of weeks, I bought the Automotive Advantage spare tire... (I have the Modern Spare for the BMW, but I don't like the universal fit versus the almost-made-for-it Mustang option from AA plus they're local to me) but passed on the full "kit" with jack and wrench since I have...

I don't know what CHT is. I'm also confused, because typical autocross events last for one, maybe two minutes. There are no 45 minute courses, that's just crazy. Perhaps they mean that you'll be in line waiting for 45 minutes, that sound more typical. A few seconds - even a minute or two of...

Ah... 1985. I had all of my hair, no body fat, and most of my innocence. LOL I also had massive debt, no savings, a POS car, no wardrobe, and very little life experience.

Perhaps... I was under the impression that with modern treatments, body rust was largely a thing of the past.

Correct (at least for me) not in the rust area. However, life is too short to drive a boring car. Don't save it for the next guy.

I agree. Either move or get some all season or winter tires...

This is true, and I agree. However, how much is this stressing you out and are you prepared to have the dealer do it and it not be satisfactory?

I'll tell you what sucks, is when you live in one of those 21 states but buy a used car from one of the other 29 states with huge ragged holes in the bumper. One car I bought had eight holes, four for the mounting bracket and four more for the plate (the moron used extra long screws). :curse:

Escalate the warranty claim with Ford's customer service department. I can't help but wonder why the dealer didn't just go ahead and fix it. Perhaps it isn't what you think it is? A picture would help.

Disable the ESE.

Welcome back! Sounds like you got a killer deal!

Not too good with punctuation either, huh? :wink: Congrats on the beautiful new car!

Please get the dyno results both before and after the changes. Just doing it afterwards doesn't prove much.

there are 6 reasons for this: 1. Many of us were spoiled/messed up our perspective with Covid prices 2. You had a CTS-V. Not a typial car. 3. You had an SS. See #2 4. As others noted, this is typical for new cars, however... 5. If you had bought a base GT for $42 (or whatever they...

Those look great! I think you should have the same style wheels on all four corners.

The GT has three settings for steering, which change the weight/effort. Who knows how it was assigned on the car you drove? Tires, alignment, camber plates, and maybe even a tune can affect steering feel.

True dat. I did, thank you for the linkie. LOL. I believe that most people have little to no knowledge or understanding of just how much data is collected, not just by Facebook and Google, but by merchants and aggregators. There are numerous books and documentaries on some of these things...

So, your post leads me to several questions: - you have two pressure washers? Nice. - Speaking of nice, that wall-mounted setup is sweet! - I'm a bit confused that "gear oil" and 15W40 are interchangeable options. In my limited experience, gear oil is closer to 90W (and is stinky) where as...
