    Jay Leno to be on TOP GEAR!! WOOT!!

    That's cool that he was on UK Top Gear ... but when I read the thread title I got all excited that he might be a co-host of the US Top Gear that is supposed to be coming out soon.

    They actually make a Mustang GT-R.

    That looks pretty good (if it weren't for the GT-R badging) - I like the functional shaker hood. But, you're right; there's no hope for this guy: dude with his "special edition" mustang - Car Videos on StreetFire :rlaugh:

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Did you ask the officer to show you the radar screen? I got a ticket that I'm going to try to argue in court because the officer wrote my ticket for 50 mph but I asked him to show me the radar and reluctantly said, "I'll show it to you only if you first sign the ticket". He showed it to me...

    Man, I love the center hood stripe with a true shaker hood on an S197.

    Cool abandoned buildings to use as a backdrop for car pics

    The subject of abandoned buildings reminds me of the numerous vacant car dealers I've seen. Love Chevy in Seaside, CA Stevens Creek Pontiac, San Jose, CA Olympic Ford, Beverly Hills, CA

    Cool abandoned buildings to use as a backdrop for car pics

    Here's a gallery of pics I took of the former Fort Ord in Monterey, CA. While some parts of it have been turned over to adjoining towns and have been renovated, the vast majority of it still sits abandoned to rot for the past > 15 years: Pics of the former Fort Ord Photo Gallery by...

    Review: Challenger R/T vs Camaro vs Mustang GT (Face off Link)

    And, for those who think the GT is underpowered at 315 HP, just pony up another $8k and get the MSRP $42,685 GT500 with 540 HP 2009 Ford Shelby GT500 Base Coupe Prices - 2009 Ford Shelby GT 500 Coupe Pricing & Costs - Motor Trend Magazine

    2005 or 2006 Mustang

    I bought my 06 in the summer of 06 and then shortly afterward I discovered Ford added an iPod MP3 jack in the center armrest for the 07 model. Why the heck doesn't every car made after say 2003 have an iPod jack? The simple installation of a jack that would cost only a few friggin' bucks would...

    Why black-out the rear of a S197?

    Oh Vista Blue is a great color! Thanks man, my tips are FFRP GTAs (same model that comes stock on the GT500 and Shelby GT). Here's my amatuer video clip: Just installed Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP- Video

    Why black-out the rear of a S197?

    Thanks autumn_again. Yes, I'm a regular on the Streetfire.net forum; you may have seen my sig there. Until you mentioned it I never thought about how different the grey color could look depending on the picture. Your Mustang sounds like a fun car based on the mods you have listed. I'm...

    Why black-out the rear of a S197?

    I've thought about getting black aluminum rear window louvers and a black rear spoiler and then having a abs black honeycomb rear panel or black magnet rear panel would make sense especially if I could get a black real shaker hood (all inspired by the '69/'70 Mach 1) but until then I prefer the...

    Gran Torino

    I saw Gran Torino Fri night and I loved it from beginning to end! It was very funny at times and also dramatic at times. The surprise ending was brilliant. I think I can definitely relate to Clint's character in that movie. I resprect crusty old patriotic Veterans like him (like my...

    How are the S197 05s holding up

    Ditto, my 06 GT has > 45k miles and it's been a blast to own. The CEL came on once and the dealer replaced the throttle body under warranty - otherwise problem free. When I first bought my car brand new there were a couple instance where I couldn't fill my tank but the problem seemed to have...

    Congress to Ford: drop the 2010 Mustang, get cash

    Wow, it is incredible how ignorant some people in positions of great influence (such as this reporter Karen Wagner) can be. My response was #197 - that's a heckuva coincidence ... S197 :) EDIT: correction mine was somehow #199 immediately following #196 (and #197 & 198 don't exist???)
