    Newbie hellos

    Welcome!!! Due to the amount of gravel and sand on the roads around here (mostly due to winter sanding) the first "mod" I did was to put an OEM bra on the front. I've only had the car a little over a month and I know the bra has already paid for itself in terms of the combination of front...

    Road Rage Incident

    This happens so often that I have actually stopped getting mad. So long as I get out of the situation OK I figure WTF, I'm not going to let someone get my nblood pressure up. Let him or her have their testosterone/estrogen rush - I let it slide off my back. However, if I can get a plate...

    Mustang Memorabilia/Souviniers

    Had a brainstorm while reading some of the posts. One of the professional football teams up here in Canada is called the Calgary Stampeders. Their symbol is a running mustang that is so similar to the one on our 'stangs that I wouldn't be surprised if Ford stole from the Stampeders or...

    RWHP v. HP

    Outstanding explanations - THANKS!! Care to tell us about Newton Metres of torque - those figures mean a lot but mean nothing to me since I don't have even the foggiest idea what they mean. Cheers,

    Zaino Use

    Anyone out there use Zaino over a dealers "paint protection product"? If so, what did you have to do to prep the surface prior to using the Zaino and how did it turn out? I asked this via the Zaino "ask us" feature on their web site but I received what I suspect was an automatically sent...

    ...Another Smiling Mustang Owner

    Melinalee, 21 AND YOU ALREADY BOUGHT A CAR??? In MY day we had to make our own cars!!! We had to pattern them after Fred Flinstone's and we had to gnaw a petrified oak to form the axles!!! We had to chisel granite using nothing but the teeth we lost because of the scurvy!! We weren't...

    color car

    Black vert with red leather interior. Gets dusty as hell but it takes me back to my "bad boy," days when I thought I was invincible (the other guys out there know what I'm talking about - late teens or early twenties, no "Miller middles, etc.). Now, age and experience tell me I'm not...

    Who owns an 05 as their first Ford/Mustang?

    This is my first Mustang and I'm 45. In my younger days I had Camaro Z28s and the Mustang never really caught my eye except for the pre 70s, and I didn't know how to fix them. I knew the moment I saw this car that I needed one and it is more fun than I expectedand!!

    Report On '05 Vert - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (A Bit Long)

    Took delivery of my '05 Vert last Friday. Black with red leather GT, all options except the 1000 watt shaker and the automatic tranny. I guess I am one of the lucky ones because I ordered the car in early February, it was built on 14 March and I received it on 31 March. I'll post some pics...

    Converible Roof Problems

    Received my '05 vert last Thursday. The only problem so far has been the operation of the roof. When I put the roof down I have to get out and push it the final inch or two. Putting the roof up is an ever bigger chore. When I put the roof up, someone has to physically start the "up"...

    Seats

    Just found this link in the thread titled "interesting link." If you do any research on the company or the product, I would greatly appreciate if you would post your findings. I will do the same as I live well north in Canada and one of the top three "bitches" I have about my '05 is that there...

    Power Outlet Question!

    MY "05 vert has a stock automatic power shutoff designed to keep the battery from draining. I live in Canada so I'm not sure if that feature is also stock on U.S. models, as there are often some subtle differences in the vehicles by country and region. Cheers

    '05 as a family car?

    Howdy from the Great White North. Received my '05 vert last Thursday and have already put on 2000kms (a full report elsewhere). I also looked at the 350Z and I looked at a Porsche Boxster. Took the Z for a drive and it was a nice ride but it was about $10,000 more than I paid for my...

    Coincidence?

    In the '05 Mustang Talk + forum there is a hilarious story about a loony tune named Sweeny. Maybe he has something to do with this!!(LOL) :rlaugh:
