Well, the third times the charm... My son lives in LA and drives a nice leased car but he wanted a 'roughing it' vehicle to use when he visited development sites and for occasional 'hauling purposes' He always liked the older Jeeps and set out to buy a late 60, early 70 Commando. He bid on two.....

500-600 Hp Cadillacs are in the pipeline and on the drawing board...it's crazy! --- Though we'd hardly consider the Cadillac CTS V-Series ordinary, it's clear this version is well beyond that performance CTS. We last encountered the CTS Super V in testing at the Nürburgring ("Spied: Super V!, May...

A friend of mine has a pretty nice '05 V-6 Mustang. He says that one of the mechanics at the local Ford dealiership (Jim Keay Ford, Orleans, Ontario, Canada) has told him that the optional '01 GT (Bullitt) rims won't fit on his car because they will interfere with the brake calipers. Does anyone...

.... got a 1990 Mustang GT Conv. triple white... The top just WILL NOT close all the way - to the point of a 1/3 gap along top. (head get real cold in the winter) Ford dealers won't even touch it. Any ideas, bending, forcing? TIA Kevin Miller

I wrecked my Subaru WRX back in July, nearly killed myself, cervical collar for 3 months, bottom line: bought an '06 Mustang GT (Premium) coup at the end of Dec. Get a sweet letter from the CA DMV 1 week later stating that my license was about to be revoked due to negligent driving. Had the...

I'll be going to my son's this weekend to "help him" with some car repairs. He bought a Mustang awhile back ('98 V6-232 3.8). I've helped with a couple of repairs on it, but I'm not real familiar with it and he's not much of a mechanic, but he's slowly catching on. Anyway, one of the things we'll...

I bought a used GT-40 intake (true GT-40, not the Cobra intake some confuse with the GT-40) and I'm stumped on some of the vacuum fittings under the plenum. I took the stock upper manifold off of my '89 GT and the fittings don't seem to be the same. Should I be T-lines to get enough connections...

This guy claims his "one time invitation" is not spam. It is of course, but I thought everyone here would get some amusement out of reading about his little pill that will raise your fuel mileage from 18% to 35% OR MORE!! http://u-got-gas.com/product.htm Yeah, I think the person that wrote that...

Beginning with this summer's introduction of the 2007 Shelby GT500, the Ford brand will let all its dealers sell Special Vehicle Team vehicles. Now, only a limited number of SVT-certified dealers can sell the high-performance vehicles. The change could help Ford sell more high-performance cars...

Hi I would like to ask. I am in Canada and have a car that was bought in Texas US. I have a bill of sale but no ownership. How would this work to obtain ownership or title for this car? Can I use a title service in the US and how would this affect the border taxes and paper work? Thanks to...

Last night, pulled into a parking lot, up a slight hill and the engine bogged done much like a stick shift tranny that has not had the clutch pushed in. Put in neutral, idles fine. go back to D or R and it lugs down and stalls. Let it sit all night, it starts ok, put in gear and it slowly starts...

I havent posted in a long time but i hang out here quite a bit. After a couple years of frustrated looking and waiting, I finally found a totally cherry 5.0 5spd. and a GT to boot! that was not totally overpriced. Now question time, My friend just wrecked his 95 GT and is parting it out. Anyone...

So at the car show tonight, the guy doing the schtick for the GT500 says there will be a 2-year run, and 1400 units will be made with a possible max of 1650. Don't know if that's per year or for both years, but it's pitiful either way. Based on this, if you weren't on the waiting list when it...
