    Shocks Bad?

    Gents, While in the process of completing some routine maintenance, I removed the rear tires and noticed an oily grime on both rear shocks. To be honest, I haven't had the rear tires off of the car in a couple of years, so I can't say how long the oily grime has been on the shocks. Is...

    Excitement Of The Week – Really NOT Funny

    Spirit, I'm glad to hear that everything is OK. Once I met the six-month Texas residency requirement, I quickly submitted my CHL application. I'm expecting it to arrive next month. For those who live in Texas, you might consider giving this organization a look: https://www.texaslawshield.com/

    F-150 3.5 Ecoboost vs. 5.0 V-8. Want opinions.

    I'm surprised no one has offered the one true answer to Chip's quandry: Buy the F-150 with the 5.0 V-8 and have Jason Heffner install twin turbos. He would then have a 5.0 V-8 "Ecoboost" to match his twin turbo GT.

    F-150 3.5 Ecoboost vs. 5.0 V-8. Want opinions.

    Chip, This past September, I bought a 2014 F-150 4x4 Supercab with the 5.0 V-8 and 3.55 limited slip axle. As I don't own a trailer, I don't have a large towing requirement and am quite happy with the power, cost, and simplicity of the 5.0 V-8. In fact, I never really considered the...

    Private Sale GT Market Moves Quick

    I got the same letter. I can't say that I'm thrilled that some stranger tracked me down because of my GT.

    with mixed emotions....i post this

    Well, since you asked... :lol I find it ironic that Boeing is converting Lockheed aircraft into target drones. I guess paybacks are a bitch. I hate to see any fighter turned into cannon (missile) fodder, but we've about used all of the QF-4 Phantom drones. (I think there's actually a QF-4...

    "The Three" Spotted in Oshkosh, WI

    I'll post pics of the VIN plates and the "Ford GT" gas cap this evening. The silver seat inserts are gone. They all have seats with the standard black inserts. If anybody has any requests for pictures of specific things, let me know.

    "The Three" Spotted in Oshkosh, WI

    Ford has a rather large display/"hangar" at this year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh air show. Despite a large portion of the display being dedicated to the 2015 Mustang and other current offerings, the first three "production" GTs are being prominently displayed in front of the exhibit. 4Y4000001...

    With a 1/9 twist barrel, I would use something like 5.56mm Hornady TAP LE 55 Grain GMX Barrier ammo for home defense. Winchester also has some really good 55-65 grain 5.56mm rounds.

    Chip, Good call on the Speedmaster Professional. It's one of my favorites, but I couldn't be happier with my Omega Speedmaster X-33 for now. Semper Fi,
