    Car trouble - running rough, flashing check engine light

    Thanks for the reprimanding - the only reason I've had it done elsewhere is just because I've yet to pick up the right tools to have the job done right. Bought this house in April and haven't gotten around to it. The year before that I still lived with my folks, so I could borrow all my Dad's...

    Car trouble - running rough, flashing check engine light

    Pic of teh hole: Hole circled, in case you couldn't see it. This is a threaded hole, like there's supposed to be some sort of plug in it: Other engine bay pics - aside from it being dirty, does anything else look disconnected or out of place...

    Car trouble - running rough, flashing check engine light

    Hey guys, This morning, I took my car (1997 Mustang GT) to a local Precision Tune for a routine oil change and coolant flush. After they finished, I ran over to Best Buy to get an additional Wii-mote, and it was running just as well as it was before I took it in. After leaving Best Buy, I was...

    Need Opinions: True Blue, go with Black or Hypercoated Fr500's?

    I vote hypercoated - black wheels remind me too much of an "import tuner" knocking off his Civic's hubcaps and leaving the black wheels beneath

    12k too much?

    A dealer near me had a '98 Cobra coupe for sale that I went and took a look at. 67k miles, black over black, great shape, and they were asking $12.9k for it. It sold in one week exactly. What the final terms were, I don't know, but it didn't stay there long.

    Thinking about getting different rims...

    It isn't the diameter so much as it is the extra weight of the larger wheel. Diameter (overall) only comes into play when you're talking about throwing off your speedometer. Any extra weight on rotating mass will definitely be noticeable. In that small of an increase, certainly nothing...

    Got my Shelby yesterday...loved everything except..

    Exactly, couldn't have put it better myself. At $40k, the GT500 is a good deal, great performance bargain. However, when you start charging $10k over MSRP... you move into a different ballpark. Same goes for folks paying way over MSRP to be the first on the block with a C6 Z06. Great car...

    Saw a 2007 GT500

    You sure it wasn't a V6 with some stripes? All new Mustangs generally look the same.

    Got my Shelby yesterday...loved everything except..

    Don't have a GT500, since I haven't found out a way to cultivate a money tree, but I did have the opportunity to drive around in a C6 for a month or so. I'd still rather take a sharper handling, quicker accelerating, more fuel efficient and better looking (IMHO) Corvette over the GT500 at...

    Got my Shelby yesterday...loved everything except..

    $15k. Nothing like a $55k Mustang. That's getting up close to his Range Rover territory.. aren't those suckers around $60k? I'd rather have a C6, or pony up an extra 10k to have a C6 Z06 that's better in every single way.

    That's what their insurance is for :) If it was me, I'd pursue it.

    Nah, he's too busy driving his "Eleanor Edition" 14 sec Mustang.

    Nice fusion - I might be picking one up for the g/f in the next year or so after her '01 Mustang croaks.
