well.... I have had 3 ragtops in the last 25 years, A Porsche, a sweet 2007 GT Premium and the current 2024 3.5 if you count the removable roof on my C4 I live in FL from mid to late Sept til early May. The car sees 2000 miles a year. When it is hot you are putting the top up. Even my 07...

10 HP is undetectable by a "butt dyno" and well within the range of error for any dyno. Any dyno is going to vary one to two percent. 10 HP on a 480 HP car is 1/48 which is close enough to 2% to say "we don't know" even if you did 3 pulls with them in and 3 out Which brings me back to my...

You are talking about a Ford Racing / Ford Performance tune for the Coyote in the 7th gen Mustang with the 4th gen Coyote right? There IS a tune, it was C.A.R.B. approved, there is even a Ford P/N attached to the tune in the filing/approval from the California Air Resources Board. You know...

I just helped a neighbor with an oil change on a lexus, easy enough to to it is just like a Toyota so I have the filter wrenches and screw in funnel for that right at hand, A week later I fixed some body damage for him.... Another neighbor had a speed sensor go out on his BMW, went in with the...

All of us that have worked professionally as a tech have seen some lazy or incompetent mechanic screw things up Late 60's/ early 70's MOPARS with big engines that come in for tune ups with high mileage and the left rear spark plug was OEM because they were too much of a problem for the previous...

They can't sell what they have on the the lot because at that price point, for a 2 door car there is stiff competition from GM with the C8, and any one of a half dozen Euro options with 4 doors that is more practical for most people. My local dealer has EIGHT in inventory from 68K to 78K Take...

Saleen has gone bankrupt how many times? They have been thru multiple owners, IIRC the current one is some Chinese company Steve Saleen's involvement? He has come and gone and come.... who knows I think the company is pretty much dead at this point Anyone who has any interest or knowledge...

I work in a shop I have access to lifts, etc. Even where the car is in FL, I have all I need to change the oil on almost any car, and my neighbors will ask to come by and use the garage to change their oil. They have to take the used oil with them is my only condition for use of the garage...

True, and it is cheaper to make than say cast aluminum that has to be machined or stamped steel that has to be painted and have a drain plug bung welded into it.

when you replace UAW workers with robotic welding, robotic painting, and reasonably current manufacturing processes you can make a good car. Machining and materials have jumped light years in just a few years, the precision and tolerances of current machining methods were unthinkable 40 years...

Shelby is a brand that has lost its luster Anyone remember Saleen? Try to buy something from them, Steve Saleen has not been involved in the business for years, they went bankrupt at least once, now owned by some Chinese company But back to Shelby American.... a 2026 Super Snake at 830HP...

Ask all the people who mortgaged their homes and cashed in retirement savings to buy a 100th Anniversary Edition Harley Davidson motorcycle how that worked out for them. Also the people who bought 95th, 105, 110 ,115, and 120th anniversary models. There is NOTHING special about an available to...

And the only way to buy a reliable vehicle from Ford is to buy a used 10 year old Toyota off their used car line I'll give you the 5.0 engines are good, the GM/Ford transmissions are ehhhh But a Ford dealer calling their product reliable is a joke 90% of the work in the service dept is warranty

I would send them an email and MAIL a copy to the Ford CEO asking them if your car was unsafe? Something along the lines of "should I be contacting the NTSB over this because you are implying my care is unsafe? My Lawyer wants to know exactly what you are implying is unsafe about my vehicle"

If there is no indication of abnormal wear, feathering or cupping then you are probably OK just to slap 4 tires on it and send it The truth is there is very little you can adjust on newer cars, as we say in the business "set the toe and let it go!" There is no method for significant adjustment...

I want you to reach out to Billy at Collision Safety Consultants https://collisionsafetyconsultants.com/ Even if his insurance pays to repair the car, you have a huge secondary loss on the value of the car because it will now probably have a dirty Carfax and or the repair will be detected by...

if it has t*ts or tires, it is going to be a problem

I had a $50 gift card for Wawa, they have 89 octane pure no corn juice gas so I put in $50 of that then another $11 and change of 93 octane. Almost $62 dollars to fill up a Mustang from about 2.5 gallons left til empty I put $20 of 89 octane corn juice adulterated last Monday night as I was...

Thanks
