My wife says that my three favorite words are "you were right".

That's pretty sweet! I used to have a pad spreader, but it appears that someone borrowed it and never returned it. That's why I hate loaning out tools. I am a charter member of the long fat screwdriver club. 🪛 The worst brake job I can remember was on my Zupra, putting on track pads. The...

Who spelled mileage wrong twice, differently each time? LOL I was going to do the oil analysis on my car, but then I thought, what would I do with the results? In other words, if the results were bad, what could I do about it? It is to laugh if you think Ford would take action. They'll...

I did plasti-dip once on a wheel. Multiple coats make it thicker and easier to remove. I used a pressure washer, no problem.

A woman that I used to work with bought her husband a Mustang as a surprise gift. Seems that he always wanted one. Unfortunately, he wanted a GT, not an EB. And she got the color wrong. And probably the transmission. Yeah, she's divorced now.

Here you go: Stock exhaust, probably in track mode (I can't remember).

It seems like the OP is resisting advice to get more experience before upgrades. But that's what should happen. Then, after more experience and as speeds get higher, you'll see the need for better brake pads, better brake cooling, and camber plates. A harness bar with 5-pt belts should be...

I saw a similar thing on the BMW forum, great looking wheels for about $300 each. Yes, as suggested and noted above, many 🇺🇸 vendors sell crap made in China. Some of it is fine. If you don't track the car and just cruise on the highway, it's probably adequate. I've seen aftermarket wheels...

Hey, if someone (not me) were to write "clueless cybertruck owner" would that be redundant? Or an oxymoron?

First, my apologies for the slight differing of opinion. :wink: Second, I think the OE pads on the DH are quite impressive. I'm guessing that they are Brembo... but it's just a guess since I never took them off to look or replace.

Although the 'dog has some good advice above, I'm going to differ a bit. Tires make you faster but not a better driver. Good instruction and experience will make you a better driver. Don't worry so much about laptime per se and instead focus on smoothness and control. So... Harness bar...

Some dealership managers make serious coin. Or perhaps he just married well. :wink: Years ago some bloke told me that many race cars are white because it's easy to match the paint after some fender rubbing. So maybe that was the thinking. I guess those perforated shift paddles are to save...

Another example of why you should never trust answers from the internet.

LOL. Read about this stuff on the BMW or Porsche forums, and they're paying $5, 6, 7 or even 8K for the same service. Anywho.... it looks great, Matt, enjoy the new car!

I agree with others that you need to both have that checked out and turn off the reporting to your insurance. Lane assist is garbage, agreed. Turn all of that crap off. Your S550 didn't have that at all, did it? I can't remember... On the tech, I have to disagree. As good as other...

Teenagers, or track newbies who keep their numbers on for months after the event. Kind of like when I was growing up, you'd keep your accumulated lift tickets on your jacket even after the ski season had melted away.

It's hard not to watch a train wreck. Even in slow motion.

Obviously Mat and I are psychically connected....

I read somewhere that cars without the PP don't have the mounting bracket for the tow hook...

For any novice investor still reading along, that's nonsense. More nonsense is investing anything in garbage like he was spewing, unless you just don't like having any money. Anyway... I was wondering how long it would take before that happened. Thank you moderators. :clap:
