    Replacing Scratched Antenna Base?

    Did a real dumb thing -- antenna was on too tight, took a pair of pliers, wasn't thinking and scratched the plastic casing around the screwhole (NOT the black bezel, but the black plastic that surrounds the threads where you screw in the antenna itself). Now, I've placed a black plastic...

    Weird Question -- Funny Smell?

    Okay, this is an odd story, so bear with me. I have a 2005 Mustang V6 automatic with about 28,650 miles on it. Last week, driving home from work, I noticed a funny smell, like melting plastic. It was very, very faint, sort of like the odor you'd smell from a glue gun. Everything...

    V6 Reliability?

    Last night I was in the supermarket and I saw the new Consumer Reports car-ratings issue. As an avid Mustang owner, I had to have a look. Turns out that CR recommends the S197 Pony, but they dinged the V6 for possessing below-average reliability. Me, I've put 20,000 trouble-free miles...

    Die-Cast S197 Mustangs?

    Ford is selling a Windveil Blue die-cast model on the Ford Collection website. Only problem is, my pony is Sonic Blue! Anybody know whether a die-cast manufacturer is planning on making more colors available for the S197 Mustang?

    Thinking of getting an iPod. Anybody heard of any kits that allow the iPod to interface with the Shaker 500?

    Yellow 2005 V6 Sighted in SF on Sunday ...

    Saw it at the Cost Plus/Barnes and Nobles parking lot near Fisherman's Wharf, on Sunday afternoon. Yellow with black stripes. Louvers on the C-pillar windows. Scoops behind the doors. Yellow inserts in the black leather seats. "Mustang" script, tricolor pony, and 4.0 badges. If you're...

    Yuk -- Water Spots!

    The continuing saga of me trying to give my pony a decent wash ... Last weekend, I left water spots all over the car because I didn't dry it properly. This weekend, had new fluffy towels for drying and the car came out great -- but there are still water spots on the top and hood that won't...

    Really Dumb Question: Car Wash Tips?

    Confession: I am the world's worst car washer. As I proved yet again this weekend, leaving spots all over my 05 Pony. What I know: Wash in the shade. Hose down the entire car before soaping. Use automotive detergent, not kitchen stuff. Use a soft mitt for washing. Wash small sections...

    Engine Coolant?

    Few questions about engine coolant. Manual says it's supposed to be a 50/50 mix of Motorcraft Gold coolant and distilled water. Does the stuff come premixed, or do you have to do that yourself? (Distilled water -- Mom used to use that in her iron. Available at the supermarket, I guess?)...

    Interior Scratches for the Compulsive 05 Mustang Owner ...

    Here's one to watch out for: releasing your safety belt and letting it run back on its own. The tounge glances against the door insert, leaving little chips in the plastic. Instead, hold onto the belt as the pulley takes up slack. Maybe a dab of Armor All will cover those chips. Which...

    Cooling Fans?

    Does the V-6 have thermostatically controlled cooling fans? When I got to work this morning, the engine sounded louder at idle than I recall it sounding before. It wasn't idling faster -- checked the tach -- but somehow, it just sounded louder. Were those the cooling fans going, maybe...

    License Plate Mounting?

    So, all you get are two holes drilled in the plastic bumper? Just removed the dealer frame from my V-6's rear bumper, and noticed that the holes aren't even drilled level -- the right hole is slightly higher than the left hole. Just an eighth of an inch higher, maybe, but I noticed it. Goes...

    Aluminum Door Sill?

    I bought my V-6 Mustang without the Upgraded interior, just the Interior Sport Appearance package. But I like those aluminum door sills. Does anybody know if they'll just bolt right in?

    Production of Each Color?

    Does anybody know how many 2005 Mustangs have been produced in each color, yet? I'd heard that my color, Sonic Blue, is set to be discontinued for 2006. Just wondered how many of us there are ... :)
