43 days? AYFSM? What were they doing for 43 days, taking your ride to local open track days?

I’m not sure what it is precisely, but I’d bet it’s something related to the cold start strategy. Injectors maybe? that is just a WAG, but a lot of modern motors are noisy and it can be difficult to hear on the Coyote in the Mustang because normal start up is LOUD by modern standards. The...

as soon as you idle down, the noise seems to go away. Is it transient; that is, only audible on warm up?

If you can see it with the naked eye, bring someone else along with you to validate and if it doesn’t match, you shouldn’t accept it, whether it’s paid for by insurance or out of pocket. Also, if it doesn’t match, the work was likely done by someone who simply doesn’t care. Most of the...

That’s great, but, if you compare the cost to insure in and around a “no pursuit/no action taken” city for vehicle thefts to a locale that actually follows up on vehicle thefts or deploys officers in and around high theft areas to deter the theft in the first place, you’ll notice that the cost...

This happened to my former neighbor in Fairfax Co., VA. The ubiquitous Honda+fart can exhaust was in front of her, about to turn left and suddenly braked, she didn’t and hit him. Officer got statements and cited her, but, she protested I couldn’t see his tail lights at all. Cop went over and...

What a maroon! ;-)

That was 2 Mustangs ago, and last century and a much more climate friendly relocation.

Yup!

That’s a trick question, because there is no such thing. I’ll have _enough_ horsepower when I can spin both rear tires from corner exit on the front straight all the way through the last brake marker.

First, that Cobra is --SHARP--. As a recovering former DMV’r I can answer this. I can remember campaigning the Fox body ’90 GT, then the ’97 SVT Mustang year round. I would not exactly call that ‘fun’ but it was challenging. I had a set of Yokohamas on the GT, took the wife out one night...

Yeah, I’ll bet it’s the battery, especially given your use case. I’d ensure you have a fully charged battery and disconnect/reconnect. Did FordPass give any alerts prior? did you get a ‘remote features disabled’ or ‘deep sleep’ alert? If you have her on a charger it’s curious for sure...

Mine has stalled a few times and had to be restarted. It’s super infrequent, and zero chance it’s going to be reproducible. I remote start almost always, I think since July it’s been... 4 times? I restart and move on.

y’all are asking to be f'd with. I’m glad you have been relatively citation free over the years, but decades ago, I got spanked with exactly this infraction, after a deer strike; I had my plate on the windshield and procrastinated on reinstalling the plate bracket. Once was more than enough...

This looks very much like one module is not ‘talking’ to the other. Think about this, if you’re going down a straight stretch of road; I10 east of Houston, TX130, and many more, the camera ‘sees’ the road is straight and that steering input will be minimum, so it’s basically generating false...

I mean... back in the Olde Days, scores of the Fox Body drag racers at MIR would run a pair of donut spares on the front... :cool:

No. Instead, I moved to a climate where humans were meant to live. ;-)

It’s not just this, you have to provide input the care is NOT doing. On long straights, unless there’s a road obstacle or something, the car tends to eerily predict my lane position pretty well. So, I just drive just a touch more slowly and resist the inputs ever so slightly to counter this...

HAH! That’s nothing. The Ecoboost F150’s / Raptors do this x1000 after idling for a period of time. Next start up is a white ‘smoke’ show; it’s really condensation, but it would be far more disconcerting than this small amount. If you’re not smelling coolant or oil, you’re good.
