I ran some errands today with my wife and realized that I have put about 2,300 miles on my Stang in the last 10 months. Since we have our two-year-old granddaughter on weekdays we put most of our miles on my wife's CR-V. We have a car seat in it. At this rate the question is will I reach 100 before my Maria does.
Spark plugs. Look a little dirty and some yellow glazing on the top. I know I fouled them a little bit when the car flooded one night, the yellow though...maybe too much WOT lately
I would but I've got the old heads that eat spark plugs. I went with E3 because they're one-piece. Car's running much better now...except the gas leak coming from somewhere around the fuel rails. ~13 years is starting to catch up with the old girl (BTW -- I think it's hillarious it stops showing 1/10ths of a mile after you hit 100K. It's like Fords saying "What are you counting for anymore? Your car's old now..."):

I put togather a spare tire kit. The cost was under 500. And if you have ever had a flat on aa busy street or freeway the only choice you have is having your car towed to get a replacement tire. This happens to me once with a different car with very bad memories.

Cavero, Change the upper and lower "O" rings on the injectors. Very easy job, just make sure to lube the O rings with motor oil. You can get the O rings over the counter from Ford or your local Napa store. No more leaks end of story.

I was able to drive my Mustang today it is 15 degrees and the roads are for the most part salt free. What snow we have is now frozen again so no water on the roads either. It had been 27 days since my last Mustang fix. Listened very carefully to the engine and no tick or other unusual noises at 2500 miles. Supposed to snow again later today so it will most likely be 27 days or longer before my next Mustang drive. It is now hooked back up to the battery tender.
When I lived in Maine on a farm. There were Chipmonks everywhere in our barn. My Mustang GT was stored for about three months. I always added metal mesh scrubbers from the dollar store to the exhaust pipes. Those suckers loved climbing up into the pipes. Why I'll never know.
^^. Got my passenger side recall today. Have to check and see if my dealer has one. Won’t be for at least another month before the weather is good enough to get the beast out.
Did pull the cover and trickle charge the battery on Sunday. Amazing how you forget how awesome these cars look. Miss driving mine. Is it spring yet? As we get more snow today.
Also changed my oil, first 3 were dealer perks. For the past 45 years I have always done my oil changes. And I have done that on cars, motor homes, bikes, boats and anything else that contains oil. Nothing but nothing could prepare you for the high force of oil that going to come out of that pan. I took the forum's advice and placed a piece of cardboard about 4 to 6 inches from the drain plug and let it pour. With that method I didnt spill a drop. Then installed a UPR drain plug.
