    Mustang Trivia.

    Barn Finds

    This mustang is actually a '73 model year car. How can I tell? the secret to look for is in the location of the front signal/parking lights.

    Vanity plate suggestions

    When I got my car I was going to use WHY TRY but my better half objected. Her thinking was that every fart canned Honda would "TRY", so I ended up with 08SHLBY.

    STAGGERED OR SQUARE. how do you roll?

    Long distance or foul weather driving I run 285/40/18s on 9 inch wheel on all four corners. Close to home, sunny days I use 275/40/18 front and 315/35/18 on wheels widened to 11 inches on the rear. Incredible grip in the straights.

    Hybrid Mustang by 2020 ?

    That horse has already left the barn. The rest of the world is headed towards smaller less polluting engines and the Big 2.5, if they want to compete, will have to follow suite. Also, Ford Eco-Boost engines found in the F-150's and other models have a surprising high take up rate, so much so...

    Hybrid Mustang by 2020 ?

    I also believe that there will always be a V8 available, at least for the foreseeable future BUT, they will be very rare, expensive, top end, hyper cars.

    Fred's Funny pages

    I don't Facebook, text, or tweet. In todays digital world it's nearly impossible to get and maintain any privacy. Case in point are these brain dead celebrities who get all upset and indignant when someone hacks their cell phone accounts and post naked pictures of them all over the internet. I...

    That time of year

    Do a final wash. Fill the fuel tank and add some fuel stabilizer. Plug in a battery tender. Usually put to bed no later than 01 Dec. or first snowfall / use of road salt.

    Winter cruise

    After almost 27 years in the Navy I've been there, done that, got the sunburns, sea sickness, medals, certificates and pension. So I'm not going. Besides, myself and Melody are saving up for our 25th anniversary 2 week trip to Italy (Rome, Venice and one other city TBD).
