Went by my dealer yesterday while running some errands. He checked my status and still no date. However, the was a 'P' code on the form that was new. The dealer has no clue as to what that means, and is checking it out. Hopefully that means it will be scheduled soon.

Every need is different. My 2013 has the 2.73 differential because i spent most of my driving on the highways. My 2019 was bought because I wanted to experiment with modifications and do some track time. It has the PP and 3.73. I need another travel car and so my 2025 is going to have the 3.15...

First aide kit, entrenching tool (folding) w/cutting blade, flares, I use a set of flasher pucks that are rechargeable. Roll of microfiber towels and wash&shine spray and glass cleaner (no ammonia)

Door codes are dying because no body wants them. They were replaced by Ford Pass which allows you to lock and unlock remotely. I wish it was a better app, but it is the direction of the future. Spares have been disappearing for well over a decade. My 2013 was rare in that it had one. If you had...

Unfortunately, that does not always work. I had my dealer upgrade my priority in December and still no progress. It makes you wonder sometimes.

I am in the same boat as Phollister. Same order date and still no VIN. My dealer has been griping at regional, but still no word. What's humorous is that my dealer is 135 miles away (long story) and the local dealer just sold a Wimbledon White model. However, my dealer is not a large dealership...

The decline in sales of Mustangs is the same reason that the Camaro and Challenger are gone from the ICE muscle car mix: Insurance companies. There are other factors, but if the reality is that anyone under 35 who buys a GT may find the insurance payments more than the car payments. My nephew...

I have them on both of my Mustangs and will put some on my 2025 when I get it. The aluminum do not block rear visibility. It is actually better for rear visibility than tint, while keeping the car cooler.

BTW, the Lincoln MKZ retractable roof is the best way to go, but the more complexity means more weight and more potential for failure.

There have been several convertible hardtop Mustangs, but all were outsourced to various contractors. I almost bought a McLaren Mustang with a removable hardtop, but there are limits to how many Mustangs I can own. I do miss the glass roof Gen 5 models.

It’s fun checking out all the rumors and forecasts that might affect the Mustang. Ford has hinted that they may have another car in the works There is a potential new rotary (non-Wankel) that is supposed to be environmentally friendly. We have heard that before, but who knows when one of these...

MCA is having their final National for 2025 in Fredericksburg during Labor Day weekend. It’s listed on their website, so you can get the details there. The shows are free for visitors but membership is required o show your car.

Mercedes has replaced the V8 AMG CS with a turbo four/EV that puts out almost 700 hp. Performance was very good, but the reviews said it had no soul. My experience with EVs is limited, but driving one has never made me feel like enjoying a drive. Eventually they will turn cars into appliances...

With all this about the cost to buy a Mustang, many forget the #1 reason that the younger generations cannot afford a Mustang and that is insurance. My nephew tracks a 2018 GT350. (I own two Mustangs and a third on order. ) I offered him my 2013 V6 for his son’s first car because I wanted to...

Ford has faced gloom and doom predictions before. Look at the bad years that followed the 1970 model. While it was too late to downsize the 71-73 models, The 1974 Mustang II was one of the top selling Mustangs of all time. And that was the only year that a V8 was not offered. Despite the...

The back room rulers are doing their best to squash the Mustang. The lawyers, insurance companies and bureaucrats are doing their best to protect their interests and make money. They think the way to do this is to keep the public from doing things that they enjoy. The Mustang will never be a...

The EcoBoost is a big seller, so that is needed. What I would like to see, is take the chassis and make a Lincoln 2-seater sports car, but with the V-6 EcoBoost engine. Also make it a 4-door sorts sedan. This makes additional use of the chassis without directly impacting Mustang sales. Offer...

A lot of it might have to do with the Magride. When it was first offered, Ford could only get so many units from Delco and hey preferred to reserve them for the GT350. My dealer had to use his influence to get it on my 2019. With the demand for the Dark Horse, Ford may have decided they could...

We have a functional lithium mine in the States, but what good is it when only China will process the ore? It is a filthy process and until it becomes ecologically safe, it can never be done here. Tesla just opened the first processing plant in the U.S. on Saturday. The tide is changing, but it...

If it is a new vehicle, it is covered under warrant. Sales people don’t know squat. The local dealer should fix it by regulation, but if they want to be an ass about it, they have the advantage. Just make sure that it is fixed by a reputable body shop that is certified in aluminum paint repair...
