    Waiting on Ford

    Indy GT, Yes, Ford installed Track Key. Car does not have an aftermarket oil separator installed. I read up on them those this week and it seems like something to look into when I get it back on the road. Your thoughts? Pretty sure the car got bad rings, after looking into it, reading the Boss...

    Waiting on Ford

    Not super concerned about it, it's a club/track car and fun as hell to drive. I just want it back on the road:).. Been sitting for a month collecting dust.

    Waiting on Ford

    Laguna Seca is at the Ford dealer. It burned 3.5 quarts of newly changed synthetic 5w-50 in 800 miles. Blowing blue smoke out of the left exhaust when I come off the throttle at almost all speeds. The tech sees cylinder wall damage with the bore scope. It's a 2012 with 10 k miles and under...

    Ford Eco Boost Torture test

    I heard there will be no V6 offered in the mustang in 2015 but a v4 twin turbo ecoboost instead. Just something I heard from my neighbor who runs Autospys

    Ford GT Appreciation

    I'm not saying it's bubble world yet, but I do think there are people out there who have been playing up bad information and just general bullshittery on Ford GT values and conditions as part of a long term play. Beware the guy that tells you "Oh I don't care about the money, I just bought it...

    For all you Raptor Owners-Ouch on the landing

    You can beat on them but don't try and jump them 100 feet in front of your buddies! Who does that? Who actually thinks it's going to land and drive away?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LDFWm4z3As&list=PL095E04A48C79B975

    Ford GT Appreciation

    I was offered $40k more than I paid for it when i bought it from Shelby a week ago with 8100 miles on it. Not for sale, love it too much and my kids would cry if the "Mach 6" wasn't in the garage. My spin out last week scared me straight, respect the animal.

    Ford Eco Boost Torture test

    Just bought an F150, my friend owns a dealership here in SD and told me to check out this 5 video series of Ford Engineers pounding on this thing. 420 ft/lbs out of the box, pretty fun: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL32568184F2EEF79D

    Speed on the streets can be really really bad

    A woman texting ran over and killed a nanny who had two kids of her own in HS and hit the 15 month old in the stroller with the Nanny. After several surgeries the baby is ok from what I hear. The baby and the stroller were under the bumper. My wives friend pulled him out of the stroller from...

    collector car market

    Have you seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? "Run Away Run Away" Seriously, a lot of crashed GT's make there way over the pond. Just be careful you aren't getting something that looked like a Fiat before it was fixed. Over 1800 GT's have salvage titles.

    Cleaning out my drawers

    I was headed onto highway 56 in carmel valley. I looked this AM. 1/2" of crap over the white line. Left rear hooked up, right rear was spinning, that's why it shot right. glad she's back the in garage unscathed:)

    Cleaning out my drawers

    HA:) At the Shelby Bash in March my friend came onto the straight at Spring Mountain in Vegas in a 2012 Boss 302. He lost the back end at about 85MPH, came out of the gas, back and forth and spun it into the wall (80 feet long) on the straight. Car totalled (had track insurance). It's the only...

    Cleaning out my drawers

    small trees and a couple road signs were looming. My fault, no need to jump on it like that especially in some loose junk over the white line. Lesson learned.
