I just got back from my dealer, to check on the status of my "Built" XLT Eco AWD-4K BAP. and they have a used 22 XLT Eco they bought for $31k and have listed for $41k. The sales mgr said that they don't expect to get that but wanted one on hand for when July ordering banks opens. However, if...
I ordered an XL and was going to use the steelies for my snows and I bought a set of 5 spoke aluminums for summer. I changed to XLT BAP and that comes with 18" wheels so the 17" - 5 spokes will be my winter wheels, but I will be able to use a taller snow tire which is better in winter. The 5...
Those above are correct... the front airbag deploys when the deceleration from a frontal impact meets certain criteria and neither vehicle reached that threshold. The same applies to side impacts. This was more of a glancing blow (Though I am sure it didn't feel like it). As to whether it is a...
Years ago (70's) a buddy and I did a full chrome Harley Knucklehead --- looks great but impossible to drive in the day light as the sun would blind you. Shiny reflective interior pieces can also be too distracting in a car. Just saying, be careful what you wish for.
Yup I can't say enuf credos top Discount Tire, how they treated nm recently and today how they treated my partner (with our grandkids), following me to the race track, my partner who took a screw to the inner side wall could not be plugged. She is a trooper and the grandkids now want to come...
MOBILE ONE is what is put in all Porsches from Stuttgart, for a reason... It Is Free to P-cars, BUT it is great oil, however M! gets to put a sticker on the cars to recommend owners to keep using it. I'm a PCA race tech and many P-Car owners race their cars, a lot switch to Royal Purple or...
Has anyone confirmed that the installation of one or even two catch cans will void the drive train warranty? Or is this some commie plot by Ford to give them an easy out should any engine issue arise? I have done my due diligence and everything I have seen on line and my years with teching race...
Ok here’s my take but I am scheduled for June build but if I hadn’t I would be first in line again and order a my24. I paid a $500 down payment (refundable) and I would tell the dealer, no down payment but if my my23 came in, I’d make good on the purchase of the my24 and would resell to them...
The comments above are correct BUT if you see a bulging rather than indentation take it to a tire dealer for an evaluation NOT the car dealer. It is more likely a delamination of the sidewall belts and that can be dangerous. I’ve seen it happen on track days and the safety tech inspectors will...
My dad was a county sheriff, and he said the alignment of a car was set to make the car drift to the right, he called it the "dead man's drift", should you die while driving (before the accident) it would take the car to the ditch rather than into the on-coming lane - true? Not? who the heck knows.
LM42 is correct. I am a race tech for Porsche and all Porsches come with Mobile 1 in them, do you know why? Mobile one donates its product to Porsche and they get to put a M! tag inside the P-cars. This encourages people to "follow the leader". I've put at least 5 different brands of oil in my...
Okay folks, if you find yourself in this predicament as GMOWA did just lie... say your 22 Mav was totaled - sorry but let's move on. "My lawyer who represents me in that horrific accident is trying to negotiate with the at fault party's insurance adjusters."--- "Or do need him to get my "Retail...
They said that only 15% of MY23 would be built and possibly they've hit that mark. Thats why I changed to XLT and its scheduled for 6/12 but no its now 6/16.
Here is an idea. When the 24MY order banks open, go to the same dealer and ask for them to order one but no deposit on THIS one. If the 23MY one comes in GREAT and tell the dealer you'll sell them it for $500 over MSRP. Everyone wins.
The front face bar cover alone is over $400, if the impact bar behind it is buckled that's another $450 there are lamps and brackets that might be ok but add labor to remove/install and paint and you can add another $1,000. What is your deductible? If someone else is at fault, your policy rates...
Sounds like fun but I can't make it as I am driving pace car at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI that weekend. There will loads of noise there as well. Have fun.
Okay. Calm the ford down. 1) How long do you plan on keeping the Mav? 2) If over the mfg warranty of the 3 years, 3) How much longer beyond that do You want to keep it? 4) 10 years? (there is a 3 year warranty, so... 3-10 = 7. So your 10 yr warranty will get you 7 more and they charge you...
