    A question that has emerged...

    Ordered in DECEMBER. I am 2 weeks away from being 6 months "clean and unscheduled". At this point it looks very unlikely that I will have my car in may or for the holiday. That pisses me off. Looking at buying another car either used or maybe a new Evo is getting more tempting every day.

    Spotted: Black Ford GT

    Ummm... People who spend $153,000 on a car are the people who dont work, or at least they don't have to. I'd venture the people who buy that car have a personal wealth of at least 5 Mil, if not much more.

    X-Plan Problem...

    I would strongly recommend calling up a lawyer. Even if you pay a few hundred t to all the way up to 2 grand, you will still have come out below paying retail. The dealership is screwing you over, and they think they can get away with it. I say turn the tables on them and let them know...

    X-Plan Problem...

    But he put a deposit down and has signed an agreement with him from my understanding. Therefore an offer was made and accepted and they are trying to negate it after the fact. Frankly they realized after the fact that they got are bad deal and are going to lose several grand in lost...

    X-Plan Problem...

    Exactly, their dealer is violoating the rules. This is what I would do... Go to the dealership. Get your salesperson to say that and then have him gett he manager. Then show the manager printouts of this board with people stating that the rules of Ford are that they could have their xplan...

    Old School vs. New School.......sick of the all the B.S

    One day you will find it is the year 2012 and be in your mid to late 20's and walk outside to see your bling blinged out car and think to yourself.. what the f- was I thinking? The same thing happened about 1979 to the millions of babyboomers who for the previous 8 years lived in the...

    Spoiler: To delete or not to delete, that is the question

    I look at it like this... Spoiler on a consumer car is for the most part cosmetic. Consider it a fashion statement. The day Volkswagaon released the "Turbo Beatle" with a tiny automated spoiler that pops out from it's rear - the spoiler died. To further burry the spoiler into the...

    X-Plan Problem...

    I hate to say it, but this happens every day - except in reverse. Supply is high, demand is low - so the sticker price on product X is discounted to meet what the consumer will pay. This is one of those rare instances where supply is very low and demand is high - the market price point is...

    Otta be a law.........

    It makes me think of all the loving caring couples in this world who are infertile, meanwhile every lowlife s#!thead is able to reproduce and abuse their baby. This is why (leave it to me to turn philosophical) I'm an atheist. For if there is an all powerfull god, he must be a real d!ckhead...

    Ordered 05 GT 1/22/05; still not built yet :(

    Didn't think so. The ******* salesperson told me I had to order it. I'm going to find that find print to verify and throw it in their face. Unfortunately I still really really want my GT not to have the spoiler, which pretty much requires a custom order. I rented a V6 while out of town...

    X-plan pin?

    The PIN is tied to a specific person and company, so that would have to be you. And even if you get a PIN you still need to show proof of employment at the company through a company ID or W-2. Though I suppose those can still be faked.

    shaker 500 keeps spitting out c/ds and tells me its bad,

    What are you playing? If I was a shaker 500 and you put some POS rap CD in me, then I'd spit it out also. The same goes for any Billy Ray Cyrus and Yanni.

    Navigation System

    <sarcasm>Personally I dont understand why people spend thousands of dollars on cars when they can just walk. </sarcasm> Once you have used one you will understand why they are handy to have. When I go out of town, they are well worth the $8 a day. I dont have to search on a map, then plan...

    Compass in 'O5?

    Homelink is, from I recall, an X10 based home automation transmitter. You can have it set to turn on lights and stuff.

    What (4) Gauges?

    I would prefer to have the 1UG with just the MyColor and Message Center. I would then add on my own after-market dash cover. I really think a wood-grain dash would look slick. http://www.exoticwooddash.com/images/wd728.jpg http://www.exoticwooddash.com/images/wd200.jpg

    Alright...fess-up! Who are you trying to impress??

    Duuuuude. Save yourelf another heart attack and buy the car on a loan. Buying a new car for cash is throwing your money away bigtime. $25,000 in a new car. Five years from now that outlay of cash is going to be worth $10,000 - maybe $15,000 at best. Take that $25,000 and put it into a...

    Finally added some pics of the interior

    I dunno, I think I'm going to end up doing a bunch of aftermarked upgrades on the interior. I really kinda like getting a wood dashbard kid. I once got upgraded to a Jaguar at a car rental place and it had a wooden dash, and I thought it looked pretty classy. And even though I have a...
