    It doesn't take much to total a Stang w/pics!

    I don't feel like writing a book, but my Mustang was written off as total loss in the last part of April. I hit a curb at 35mph swerving to miss a blind old man from Maryland in a four door sedan of some sort. The body shop started writing up all kinds of junk on the car that wasn't even...

    Those thinking about doing valve covers--see mine. It is no fun.

    Okay, so these looked beautiful before installation. If you read my posts, you know I was having hell putting these on. It is easily an all day job swapping valve covers. I do not know how a set of those BBK's would even fit on without pulling the engine out. You cam swappers can probably...

    So much for my Saturday...F@$*%g mustang

    The valve covers are about like trying to install a set of long tubes. 5 hours later and I finally finished changing the valve covers out. Stock for stock. The original ones cracked on one side, and the other got hit with something and had a hole in it. I was just driving and heard this loud...

    Finally, I return...I have internet again!

    I doubt much happened in my absence. I finally put my cable BS into the scrap heap, and got DSL again. DSL is the best, period. I even switched cable companies. After what I told Comcast I don't think they'll ever let me be a customer again. I like my Verizon, but damn, every five seconds it...

    Rant about cable hi-speed internet

    :mad: I hate Comcast. "We're better than DSL." Bullzhit. DSL is a dedicated line, and constant speed all the time. My 768kbps DSL was way faster than this Comcast 3.0mbps service. The upstream on the DSL was 128kps, and it was constant. It never skipped a beat. It always ran near that. The...

    For the hell of it, got a new shift lever

    I am bored and decided to be a post whore. I dare to be different. I don't care much for short throw shifters, and the stock lever is bent the wrong way. I don't have long arms like most of you apes, so I find it hard to shift into 3rd, 5th, and R. I like the Roush Classic shifter, but don't...

    Yo, I got your Carfax's right here!

    It is just as cheap to get it for a month as it is for a single report. Give me some VIN's to run. I've already ran all my cars. I'll PM or post Carfax reports. I'll try my best to be quick about it.

    Think my car already has springs?

    Sometimes I just can't tell. I just bought this car last month, and have not really looked at it since. It looked like it rode stock height to me, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like it has a subtle drop. The springs are black and look like stock springs. Or I need struts and...

    Quarantine my house

    This flu season is bad. I haven't had the flu in years. The latest strain going around is pretty potent. I've talked to people from one end of the country to the other, and everyone has or had the flu recently. I've been reduced to drinking Robitussin purple straight from the bottle. Nothing...

    Any 4.6'ers live near Sterling,VA area? Have ???

    I have a job in the works, but it would require me to move to Leesburg/Sterling/Western D.C. area in VA. Besides giving out excessive reckless driving tickets (you guys need higher priced lawyers), how is the area? I hear it is very expensive to live there. How is the weather, the food, and the...

    worldwide Mustang sightings

    Besides US and Canada, where have you guys seen Mustangs? I have seen them in Korea, Japan, and Mexico. I don't think they sell them anywhere but North America, but where else have you seen them? Some of my friends in Germany say Mustangs are sought after cars there, and lots of people would...

    Rear quarter glass idea...?

    Well, they have targa tops for Mustangs, why not roll down quarter glass? I have often wondered if you could take the roll down rear quarter glass from a convertible, and fit it into a coupe. That would be neat, the ability to roll down all the windows. Confirmed, plausible, or busted?

    Anybody made electro-magnet brakes yet?

    I was thinking. The mechanical type brakes are at their end. Why not have a disc that is an electromagnet, than have a ring that spins around it that is an electromagnet? Just change the polarity, and it stops. You could integrate ABS and all that junk into it. I think it would be fade proof...

    I am bored. How about a free toast thread?

    I am trapped home today. I already went snowshoe-ing, and cleaned the engine of the car. The roads are undrivable until maybe tomorrow. (I won't bank on that) What else is there to do when you are stuck at home? I can only watch so watch ****, err...I mean television. Anybody else confined by...

    Anyone ever put on 235/45's?

    I know it may sound stupid, but has anyone ever tried 235/45's? There is a certain tire I want, but it doesn't come in 245/45, the nearest size is 235/45. The 235/45 is just a bit smaller in diameter, but not enough to really effect the speedo. It still is made for an 8.0'' rim, and the tread...

    #$%@&*! finding flaws on a used car

    :mad: Ever buy a used car, and over the next week find stuff that is wrong....chips in paint, little stains and marks, and what I should have picked up on---serious f'ing curb rash. Damn. Now I need new wheels and tires. One of them is grated all the way around. How the hell do you do that?

    Are all chip programmers the same?

    I was reading about Diablosport Predator, Hypertech, Superchips, etc. They seem to have all the same features, and do the same thing. Other than price, what ways are each better than the other?
