Thanks. My method did not get us there so I am grateful for the ideas.
...I have also though about putting it out to manual owners in my area to see if they would like to volunteer their cars🤣🤣🤣
To your point, these cars go by themselves if you let the clutch out slowly. That enabled us to practice shifting around 2nd and 3rd.
We will stick to it!
Soooo,
I have been so thrilled to be back in a manual that I wanted to share the passion with my son.
Lesson 1 was a little frustrating…but I am committed.
For the experts, how impactful are a few low rpm stalls on the clutch or drivetrain?
Thx, lots of compliments on the Bronze and Carmine Red.
From Jaeger Brothers. I went with these because they are easy on and off until I get PPF in a couple weeks. Figure they will be great for wet drives or longer highway drives. I don’t love the look of the rears. But they can be removed...
Nothing exciting, just making it mine…
-battery tender installed
-deleted dealer tag frame
- Billetworkz shift knob (looks + feels great)
-rock guards after seeing the mess from a wet road
- looking good after first wash!
So I took a couple drives today.
I took the wife’s X3 for a bath. I don’t drive it often so I put it in sport plus to prevent carbon build up.😉 It is fairly loud and pops and bubbles with the valves open on the quad exhaust. I had some fun from lights and around curves, but did not really exceed...
I have the top B&O in my '21 KR, lots of speakers even in the head rest, maybe the same one as in yours. And I paid for the 12spkr in my vert. I am not an audiophile, but I do like music. The Mustang is not bad. The one in the truck is clearly better. I am sure the cabin vs. fabric top are part...
All my cars smell like obsessive compulsive cleaning. Leather treatment and pet fresh carpet deodorizer. Love to take my pup for a ride when I can so lots of vacuuming.
Gorgeous truck. Those lines just get better over time.
Mine was a stepside with a straight 6. Former SC DOT truck. Just an old truck in the early eighties...$700. Wrecked in front. My father and I pulled the front end back into shape with a come-along until I got straight parts from a junkyard...
Super helpful on the 6g post. Seems like easy insurance. Ordering a set today.
Fortunately, I have a good local shop that I've used for paint corrections and ceramic on other vehicles. The quote is for 8 mil. With this feedback I'm now thinking partial including front, rear qtr impact area, and...
Thx for the feedback. Not a daily driver, but lots of growth where I am putting construction debris on the roads.
btw, love your 2nd car listed. I had a 66 F100 w/3 on the tree. Would love to have that one back.
Debating between partial (front end and hood) or full PPF.
The cost difference between these options is bigger than I thought considering there’s no roof.
Does anyone with a few miles have feedback on what body panels are at risk from rock chips? Especially rear quarter panel.
Good advice. A little courtesy goes a long way.
I used to get my hackles up about stupidly aggressive drivers, but now I let them by so I can do my thing. At best they find the cops ahead.
I will say that driving a low convertible vs my regular truck has made me more aware of/sensitive to other...
I just scheduled this! The opportunity was not on my window sticker (like w/DH) and not mentioned by dealer.
throwing it out there in case anyone else with a recent delivery was unaware.

Mine was 3 business days. Arrived last Friday and was ready by Tuesday. But I asked to see it on Saturday before they did any prep, so I slowed them down.
I did find the strakes in the trunk and have the dealer install them. Thx to whoever posted that piece of info!
She is garage bound...
