I took my '25 GT PP for a break-in oil change today (1100 miles). At 72 YO, I no longer crawl under cars, so I went to my dealer for this. As I was waiting, the Service Advisor and the tech guy sought me out in the waiting area. They informed me that they had found some road salt under that...

Molten Magenta has grown on me. When it's clean, it looks pretty doggone good. I still like my Grabber Blue (I've owned more blue cars than any other), but I am looking forward to seeing a Molten Magenta in person.

That's the beauty of ordering, if one is patient enough to wait. You can get exactly what you want. I've gotten more patient as I've gotten older, so ordering works for me. Plus, I ordered last October, knowing it wouldn't matter if it didn't show up till spring; I wasn't going to drive it...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and to spend their own money. That said, I simply cannot imagine anyone who owns a performance ICE car, to be interested in such an offering. I believe that Stellantis has been off the rails for a while now, and I don't see this changing things.

If I recall correctly, the 2025 info came out in late July of 2024. I was waiting to see if the Grabber Blue color would be available for the '25 model year. That's when I learned that my hopes were answered. I wasn't happy with the 2025 price bump, but joining the Mustang Club, and getting...

Yes, I have a GT (6 MT, PP, active exhaust, magneride). It's brand new, sitting in my garage, waiting for this ridiculous winter here in PA to let up. I also have a 2023 Honda Civic Sport hatchback, also a stick. It is not fast, but handles well, and is entertaining to drive. And, I can haul...

End story--I put the dealer off last week about delivery, as the temps here in central PA never got above 20 degrees. I looked at the weather forecast, and picked tomorrow (1/28). It was supposed to be dry, and in the 30s. Now, there are a few snow squalls forecast overnight. We will see...

Oh , BTW, what is the website for the frame rail patch, front fender-wise? I recently had my computer cleaned up, and I lost that bookmark. Thanks!!

I didn't even bother to try track it, since I figured that would be spring until I had it. The three months from order to delivery still has my head spinning. I don't want to drive it during winter weather. I will figure this out. I do believe that I will hop into my Honda Civic tomorrow...

The title of my post is an old Three Stooges line, but it describes my ordering process with my incoming GT. Back in October, I placed an order for a 2025 GT, Grabber Blue, manual (of course), Performance Package, Magneride, and such. I ordered then, figuring that it would be 5-6 months to get...

I've owned manuals, since the '70s (Oh, that '83 GTI manual I should have kept). I've owned BMWs since 2009. Four of them, the first three manuals. I couldn't get a manual in 2022, without going way beyond my means, so I settled on an M340i. Nice car, it really is, but I miss the manual...

Too many to name...before kids... 1975 Pontiac Ventura 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 1979 VW Scirocco (the TA guzzled gas) 1983 VW GTI -pause here, years of having kids (minivans), also driving whatever I was left with when wife decided to trade me in 2001 Ford Escort (sport model, what I could afford...

I've owned four BMWs since I retired in '09. Each time, I stored it December-February. Come March, I would begin to drive them on a decent weather day. I have always had an "everyday car," with a separate set of wheels and snow tires. Currently, it's a Honda Civic. I am a college sports...

There have been lots of great choices here. Listening to great songs is part of the driving experience, and we all have our favorites. Though, part of the soundtrack is supplied by the car. When I test-drove a GT with the Performance Exhaust last summer, I realized that such a sound is part...

Someone on the BMW club forum that I follow recommended a product called "Fresh Cab." It comes in little pouches that you can distribute around the garage. Though the aroma is like Christmas trees, apparently it is noxious to rodents. I store my BMW during winter, and so far, so good with the...

There's already a good amount of sound advice already posted. The key is getting the car clean and dry without inducing swirl marks in the car's finish. I do use a foam gun, two buckets, and a soft sponge I trust. Rather than wiping dry, I have enough microfiber drying towels that I can...

I'm 71, and own a BMW M340. Nice car, but not available with a manual. I miss that part of driving; I find myself driving my everyday Civic a lot because it has a stick. I test-drove a Mustang GT with a stick back in July. It was as easy to drive as my Civic. So, I have a '25 GT on order...

I, too, live within my means. Post-retirement, post-divorce, my only splurge has been owning a couple of Bimmers. I have a part-time job that pays well, and that is my "fun money." I liked/loved my BMWs, but the last time around, any BMW with a stick was outside my pocketbook. My M340 is a...

Not really...I was a Pontiac guy during my 20s, and I decided I wanted a Trans Am. I had a buddy with a black and gold Special Edition, so I didn't want to copycat. I ordered mine in Heritage Brown, with gold snowflake wheels. It was a beautiful car, but very impractical, especially during...

To update--I did order a '25 GT Premium two weeks ago. Performance pack, exhaust, co-pilot, B&O, Grabber Blue. I did read the comments here about the B&O, so I did sit in the GT I drove back in July (with B&O), and listened. It was OK with my 70+ YO ears. I mentioned to the salesperson that...
