That isn't quite true. Old point and condenser ignition systems needed to be set each time their were service. You normally did it with a timing light and set it somewhere between 6 and 12 degrees before top center. More RPMs would advance the timing as it took longer for the burn to propagate...

Some of the cars ship with an oversize radiator. That is somewhat of an issue for me being in Arizona with 120 degree days and the air conditioner running.

I will pass a warning on to you. My 96 mustang was the first car I owned with low profile tires. It's also the first time I had problems with the tires cutting on road hazards. I pretty well solved the problem by running 35 pounds of air instead of the recommended 30 pounds. These tires are not...

Yup. I have been servicing 3 vehicles for years and I lucked out finding 10 dark horses there. I got number 5.

I have never belonged to a union and I wouldn't object to them if they were like any other business delivering a quality product at a reasonable price. However it seems their only goal is to extract as much as possible and only offering an extended period of time before the next extortion...

Mine is also coming to a Scottsdale Dealer. Shipped Aug 27, arrival Aug 28 to Sept 10. Very likely the same dealer.

There isn't really a good reason to do it before the car says so. They used to use non detergent oils to aid in ring seating but now they just use standard oil. The filter will catch any metal particles so the oil will remain good until the additives weaken with age. If you're going to push...

There is one other reason for setting speed limit and that is tires. Once you start getting around 150 miles per hour it takes a better tire just to stay together at that speed. It used to be worst when we had the double nickel and there were plenty of tires that would come apart ant 100 miles...

That's 270 kph minus tire slip. I am sure once the computer is hacked it will do much better.

The dark horse is supposed to cut out at 168 miles per hour. I think it's because the aerodynamics are different for the dark horse and it stays glued to the road better. They may have also set it that way figuring anybody going that fast was gong to have the gurney flap installed.

You would have to ask the dealer but my guess would be 87 octane. Dealers have tanks they use to fill their rolling stock like deliver trucks and demonstrators and at the current price of fuel, it's unlikely they are going to burn 93 octane when it's of little benefit to what they normally use...

Roommate just had a couple of Striker knee replacements and the first one is already to the point at 3 months that the knee is like it was 40 years ago. Be careful because the older surgery is more invasive and recovery is longer but a lot of doctors are still using the older knee.

It's a matter of setting your priorities. I never expected to inherit much money and I know I will want to quit work at some point. It's not exactly working out the way I expected because I am 72 years old and still working because I am keeping a promise and not because I need the money. A...

Long term secure loans run something like prime rate plus 2-3%. Credit cards and unsecured loans are much higher. There is an exception and ford will offer lower rates to encourage sales. It's not a great time to take out a loan but I suspect tomorrow it will be worst. If you're unable to pay...

Mine has been in production for nearly 3 weeks. It sounds like they may be missing something minor and they moved your to produced before they realized they had a problem.

That isn't much of a problem because you have USB and 12 volt jacks all around. Maybe you can't put your phone where you want but you can keep it charged. I was on a 24 hour trip in a dodge pickup and hadn't had time to find the charge points. There were more but the only thing I knew about at...

I don't have a front plate but if I did, I would wait for the car to show up. I don't know where I saw it but I read something that said the hardware for mounting the plates was included with the car. If that is the case, the problem is solved. My 96 has more space for mounting the plate and...

It could be another reason. A car carrier had an EV catch fire and caused a large amount of damage. Maybe they will put the EVs on the upper deck so they can push them overboard should they light up.

The order was placed 2 days before mine and it appears to be two or three months after mine. Only thing I can come up with is somebody sat on the order and it was recently placed in the system.

Interesting. Dark horse premium order date 3/29, blend date 7/21, in production as of 7/26. The vin was received 5/1. It sound like your dealer received another allocation of Dark horses and just added you into the queue.
