Not to be snarky, but did you test drive a car before you ordered it? The Mustang is going to be a big change from your WRX in feel, performance and ... well, everything. LOL The steering is not "numb" but it certainly is not at the level of a Porsche. I test drove a WRX Sti once, and I...

Exactly! Although your question seems to have prompted at least two people (so far) to vent and rant about unrelated topics, which were themselves entertaining if not on point.

Probably. Just stick with real (not a blend) synthetic 5W30 and your engine will be fine.

Wow. Good for you, sticking with it! Was it a failed head gasket, or like most events at the dealer, the cause was not shared with you?

Thank you for your time.

Ditto. No stock locally on new cars, and the only used one was overpriced. I bought my car out of Ohio (I'm in NC).

To save the battery. That's misleading.... it doesn't use "no power". As you yourself summarized, it uses very little. However... I don't use the phone much. I can get 4 days from a full charge, if BT is off. I did a brief test, and in 4 hours the phone uses less than 1% of battery...

B-J in AZ has been on my bucket list for a while, but this year when I finally have the time, poor planning left it too late to get a decent flight (very expensive with only middle seats left) and hotels were rather expensive as well. For you locals and others who have been, is it worth the...

It sure seems to. I'll have to do a scientific analysis. Pixel 10. I only spend about 2 hours a week, max, in the car. The other 166 hours, I don't need BT.

I don't want to disable BT. I want to remove the annoying message that shows when it is turned off on my phone (see original post).

I confirmed that this works, and explains why I didn't consistently see the message. Thanks! Of course, I don't usually use BT because few people call me and I don't want to talk to most of them anyway, LOL. And the phone battery lasts longer with it off. I guess no one knows (so far) how...

This is absolutely true. It's called science. Break-in is also a factor. My cars also run better and faster after I wash them. The cynical amongst you will say that it's all in my mind, but the other people that live in there with me agree, although I wish they wouldn't all speak...

That's more of a Florida thing. The only way to avoid it is to have the vehicle shipped home. I don't think it's an issue with Iowa.

Where is "GCC"? I suggest that you stay stock (as you mentioned) as long as possible before spending all of that time and money. The car is pretty darn good right out of the box. You could perhaps improve the sound system, if that's of any interest.

My thoughts are that it's just another opportunity for a leak, as noted above they tend to stick out lower than the pan, potentially getting sheared off, and is it really that difficult to remove a bolt? Messy, yes, but nothing compared to removing the filter. Speaking of which, wouldn't it...

My opinion is really only valuable to me, it's what you like that matters. That said, I prefer the silver wheels and think that style will look fabulous. I would exercise caution on the increased offset so that you don't end up looking like some kind of silly ricer wannabe. Unless the wheels...

My condolences. I had forgotten about the tensions. Rest assured, we Americans love our neighbors to the North despite the rhetoric occasionally spewed by some people. You really shouldn't have any problems coming over or getting back home, eh?

What happened?

When I tracked my S550 GT non-PP I immediately discovered that the OE brake rotors were not very well (if at all?) vented, which was a major issue. I changed them out for some aftermarket ones (Steeda, perhaps?) and used G-Loc pads which I did not like at all, and added ducting. I then changed...

First, let me explain that I am 64 and retired. So time is not the problem although age could be. Second, I bought the DH with the intent to take it to the track occasionally. It's already been to VIR twice and I've got an event at Roebling Road scheduled in April. It is stock and shall...
