Then again if I had to choose I'd really rather have a 63-1/2 Galaxie 500 with a 427, but that's just me.
Don't get me started on GM transmissions. We had a Blazer and a Truck, 1500??, and a Bonneville all had horrible, horrible transmissions.
Ray Thanks !!! I still have some left but not much. We have a package of ribs, 3 racks, that we'll have to do shortly.
buffguy That'd be George. I lust after the nav but I think because of the extras, bluetooth & iPod, that aftermarket units have I'll likely go that route eventually.

Just go back from our SBMO meeting today Charlie had an incident with an Asian lady driving a Honda Accord. Looks like he got rear ended by this lady. After she ran into him she decided to run into three other cars 
Got 1 of 2 packages today from JEG's My Moroso coolant tank is here. I think I may get this chromed, I need to talk to my plating guy. I know chrome or powder coat can add up to 5 thousands of an inch of material. I'm not sure if this will affect the cap threads. If not I down for chrome. I also want to remove the stamped Moroso logo, I hate logos

Every Chevy I've ever owned has bit me in the ***, especially with transmissions. But the Vette is just so sexy, why can't milfs drive Vettes instead of baby boomer, pony tail, sock in their drawers, divorced doctors and lawyers dating their receptionists and nurses. Of course this does not apply to everyone of them, especially you George, but they are the majority.
What do you guys think about this?

I'm think about pulling the trigger on this. Looks like a good price compare to the $2000 one people are selling. And this one is pre program so you don't get any errors.

Cam Covers Installed
I know I'd complained about flaking and some weird black spot but after thinking it over both defects are covered thanks to their locations. The flaking (very minor) is in the first pic. Good thing is that's covered up by the intake. I had to hold the camera under the intake to get that pic. The black spot you see is covered by the battery tray and one of the Shakers hoses. So with out further ado here's the pics.

Then again if I had to choose I'd really rather have a 63-1/2 Galaxie 500 with a 427, but that's just me.

The factory nav works with Ipods. It just doesn't have bluetooth, bummer since the new california law.

I had someone mention to me that the mustang's navigation is located very low and hard to see.
Compare to the acura's navigation, Acura's nav are very high. I think it may be dangerous to use the mustang's nav because it is so low.

I've tried the Brand-Motion one and have seen the ICE ?? one and I'm not entirely impressed. I am leaning more and more over to the AVIC one, especially the N4 ? on-Screen iPod, Bluetooth... etc....
If it's too low.. George or Luis (factory installed) would have to answer, I've never actually used it in car.
KdF I saw you lurking earlier, drop a line and say hey.. did we scare you off ?

My roomate in Hawaii has a new vette......very nice car for sure, and fast....but it would just tick him off when we would drive my car and I'd get "HEY-NICE CAR!" and waves and thumbs up from passers by and when we drove his vette no one even noticed it......
He said he could buy 3 mustangs for what his vette cost but my car got all the attention....HA!
