    New member from VT - 4.0 convertible

    I should have made myself clearer, the radio didn't play music or anything, but the light stayed on after turning the key off. Three times I came out to a dead battery. The radio was new and turned out the installer hadn't wired something correctly. I took it back they found the issue and...

    New member from VT - 4.0 convertible

    Wow, awesome cars you two. Welcome Hogges. Nothing like a convertible. My battery drain was due to the radio not turning off when you turned the key off. Over the next few days it would totally drain the battery.

    Ford Considering an Off-Road Mustang

    Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to go back and get my SUV. So, was stuck with what I was driving. Great day for driving the convertible though. The problem with that is it requires a major clean-up after driving on that kind of terrain. Cold nights are here already so won't be long...

    Ford Considering an Off-Road Mustang

    A follow up to my off-road driving post. My wife's condition doesn't always allow me to do the things I want to do, when I want to. So, I was only able to get to the tire shop a week ago. Amazingly, no cuts but a recommendation to replace my tires. They are the Cooper Endeavor Plus, not the top...

    Pony Package is a great option for the V6 Mustang

    From my own experience trading out the stock sound system, navigation, etc. Do yourself a favor and get knobs that you can easily turn, even while driving the car. Trying to change settings while driving is distracting and hazardous. I love the backup camera, and the other stuff is nice, just...

    part ID

    Definitely sounds like disgruntled employee. Back in 1970 I bought a new Mach I Mustang from the factory. The car was a lime green with a black antiglare (I think) wide tape painted down the hood. When the car arrived, that black area was painted on and tape removed too soon, thus leaving a...

    That's why we like animals, including Mustang's. People are inconsiderate.

    Trunk Liner- 2005

    Mixer, make sure your tire bolt has the black top on it. If, not the bolt will drill a hole through the particle board and through your cover. I caught mine before it got past the particle board. Because the bolt had gone through the particle board the black cap now went through the hole so I...

Due to habit, I check my car out every time I come...

    Ford Considering an Off-Road Mustang

    On the 23rd another site posted Ford is considering a Mustang Off Road version. Too late! Last weekend I attended a wedding of a young man who was a drummer in my drumline, Scottish Pipe Band. He gave me the address and city. Turns out he didn't give me enough information and I didn't ask enough...

    1/18th and 1/24 scale cars

    Anyone know where I could find a 2012 Mustang GT convertible 1/24 model car. I've looked at several sites on line but haven't come across many convertibles, especially, around 2010 through 14. And, look at these really neat glass coasters from Ford.

    Comments as promise on cleaning/waxing products recommendations

    I have an update on detailing products. I am and remain a fan of Turtle Wax products, except this one. I bought this as a car parts store to remove a few minor scratches. It's terrible it left a light white haze on the hood. no amount of rubbing buffed it out. It was shinny with a haze (sounds...

    Odd loud bang from roof? Rear? What?

    I went through this with my 2012 Mustang for a considerable period of time. Had everything looked at under the car, trunk and convertible storage well. Tire was tight as well. Finally, ask the tire shop to raise the mat, removed the tire and take out the jack. Fortunately, the guy doing it...

    I turn the key and nothing happens. Please help!!!

    Probably would be good to buy one or two spare programmed keys. Most locksmiths can do it. When I bought my car, it came with one key. I insisted on the dealer providing two back-up key and they did. I had given them three sets of keys so wasn't asking anything ridicules. The risk of loosing...

    Sunvisor - driver side

    Thanks. I agree, what I've seen online visors are running $125. to 170. Never heard of the clear fabric mender. At Auto parts stores, sewing material stores? Your suggestion probably the best way to go.

    Thanks, JimC. I've been hesitant to buy off of ebay, I'm well over 85 yrs old and don't do all the social media computer stuff. I still use a credit card and checkbook. Since I don't have any kind of computer money account not sure any ebay venders would want to deal with me. I did have a...

    Sunvisor - driver side

    You wouldn't think it would be that hard to find a replacement sun visor. FordPartsGiant appeared it might have one that would fit but they won't talk to you on the phone. And, refer you to a web site. I think that was four days ago and today I got an email that they are working on it. Not to...
