That's a full plate there Jed!

Is this the Roush's first oil change?

A garage wouldn't help much David, I have a garage and the pollen is so fine it gets on the car while sitting in my garage. Too many darn pine trees here in H-Town thats for sure, never had this issue up North. Yellow pollen is everywhere, its nasty stuff for those of you that have never experienced this thrill in person.

Got my Fusion key yesterday and my pedals. Will try out the key tonight. I know it's supposed to work with all '07s but since mine was built so early I'm not holding my breath. Stranger things have happened.

Pedals go on Sunday, pics I'm sure will happen, though not the quality nor quantity of a TacoBill photoshoot :

Just hit 15K so I think I'm also doing an oil change, 4th times a charm for me.

I did what I said I wasn't going to do..

.. add up all my reciepts.

Give or take a few reciepts missing, lost or I didn't get, my grand total to date is ~$12,400.

Cool on the pedals! Learn from my mistake when installing them, mark the hole thru the new pedal, move out the way, then drill. I attempted to drill thru the pedal hole straight into the factory steel pedal and started to oblong the hole.
btw, drilling into the factory steel is tough! Be prepared for a sore neck/back.

Also, check the contour of the brake & clutch pedals, if the same, you're good to go. If different, you may have to 'form/bend' the pedal that's out of contour on a vise (use wood).

4th time a charm? What happened to the other 3 oil changes?

Wow! You'd be real close to paying off the car by now. I'm sure I'm at about half of that. Oh well you only live once right?

It did include labor for the gears and window tint.

I'd rather have what I have now and be where I am, versus having a stocker.

Afternoon Gents!

I'd love to go to C&C but Saturday is wife day, Jasmin turns the BIG 40 on sat.

**** Bill, you have almost spent as much as me! I wonder what jed's total is?

Well I'm glad I didn't go for the saleen shaker, here's a few pics

The only thing that ruins it for me is the big black box in the front. I think I could live with the filter being visible. Although I'm sure it would look better with a dark colored filter. All in all there really isn't to much extra space in the engine bay so I'm sure that was the best they could do.

The Saleen Shaker does look a little cheap. That green filter looks pretty bad.

That's quite the total Bill, but I'd say it was worth it, especially considering the fact that you bought alot of the parts when they first came out, and therefore were more expensive than they'll be in the somewhat distant future.
