    For Fun - Highest Hwy MPGs for GT - I'm 30.8 Hwy.

    Well, you inspired me. I filled up today at $2.77 (a bargain) and drove home with the cruise at 70. My mpg was 26.8...I don't think I've ever gotten it that high! LOL!

    For Fun - Highest Hwy MPGs for GT - I'm 30.8 Hwy.

    That is so bizarre...I just drove from Austin to New Braunfels and back, tonight! LOL! Although, I didn't reset my computer to see what the mpg was for that ride. I drove 80-85 most of the trip and cruised at 75 on the way back. I wish I'd have reset it. I'm averaging 19.7 commuting from...

    Stick vs. Auto (not that again!)

    Well, you have the right attitude. What I'm trying to figure out is the "men" who assert one is less than a man if he has an auto. As a woman, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Maybe a "man" who makes such an assertion is less than confident in his manhood and makes up for it by...

    Stick vs. Auto (not that again!)

    There is only one thing I hate about my auto - having to defend my choice of it to simple-minded types who say stupid crap like some of the things I've read above. Bottom line-get what you want. A manual is fun, but wholly impractical for me. I owned a manual previously and vowed not to get...

    not a good feeling

    That's horrible! :( Sounds like she completed flaked. It's nice that you're dad's got a friend in the body shop business, though. Hopefully you can get it in to be repaired quickly and it willl be just like new. So sorry to hear this...I know it must have hurt

    Got my first ticket today...waaah!

    LOL! Come to think of it...I think I did hear that tune in the background! As for court - too late. I dropped a check in the mail on Friday. Traffic school, it is. He was definitely a ninny but that doesn't change the fact that I was speeding. :nono: Problem is, I just don't see...

    Paint Blemishes

    It is rather irritating...I've got a fair amount of orange peel, but it's pretty subtle. I'm pretty sure the little spot you refer to is called fish eye. Just another flaw that sometimes appears during the painting process. I have two tiny spots of fish eye on mine. Oh well, I still love...

    My car got violated today...by a semi.

    So sorry that happened. :( Had it been me, I'd have burst into tears! With regard to reporting it to insurance - I'd be inclined to do the "right" thing and report it. You aren't putting the guy's job in danger...he did that on his own. Your responsibility is only to yourself and your stang.

    Got my first ticket today...waaah!

    :lol: Well, his behavior really was rather boyish. I kept trying to hand him my license and insurance and he kept yapping about the stang. He just had to tell me how he had this beautiful '04 red GT and how his wife traded it in while he was in the hospital. He planned on getting a new...

    Got my first ticket today...waaah!

    Thanks. Not much I can do about yesterday's ticket and I seriously doubt it'll have a deterrent effect. As I explained to the officer, it isn't so much that I like to speed but that I enjoy accelerating. :D Anyway, Valentine 1 - here I come!!!! :spot:

    Got my first ticket today...waaah!

    I suppose I'm fortunate since I had slowed down by the time the cop was in sight. He practically drooled all over the car! When he walked up to my driver window, he touched the car with his index finger and said "Tssst...HOT!" In trying to weasel my way out of a ticket I suggested that the...

    Dealer scratched dash

    I wouldn't know for sure, but my guess is careless. My dealer managed to scratch my paint and lose my aluminum door sill (before delivery). Strictly out of fear for more damage to my Jade, I still haven't had the strut popping addressed. Hopefully they won't scratch something else when...
