SRP Racing pedals finally installed. Would have been a hell of a lot easier on a lift...

Also finally got around to installing the rear JL audio speakers. What a pain in the ***. Thankfully I won't need to undo any of that when I eventually get an amp in there. Plumbed it all into the trunk.

If I ad up my subs I have 80" total
36" in my car & 44" used in the house.
I just hit theses 2 x12" with a box yesterday that I do not need but they were pretty much given to me😨
to bad I used to like the Infinity Kapa's I have but the Kenwood Excelon now in sound cleaner.

if I had enough amp I'd blow the explodes up, but I'm sure there's a worthy kid out there that may need them. I'm a sucker for a charity case

A Beautiful Day In Northeast Kansas

I am not sure if climate change is the result of human activity or just part of a natural cycle, but I can say that 74 F at the end of January is outside of normal. In fact, it is remarkable! With the warm wind blowing, I uncovered La Beastia and went for a nice ride and I had the heater off and the windows down. Nothing better than a twisty road and classic rock on the audio system, except the beautiful note of Coyote exhaust.

I'd love to have 74 degrees.. we had 3 feet of snow from the Blizzard of 2015, and more snow expected on Friday and Sunday...

Doesn't it just cheese you off that those smug, uppity Canadians are driving their Mustangs with the top down in January while yours and mine are stuck in the garage here in the lower 48?

Had a catastrophic blowout today (catastrophic for the tire, not for the car). Luckily it happened at 15 mph two streets over from home. **** lucky.



And here's the cuplrit:



What gets me was I just had the car serviced by the dealer for the airbag recall 2 weeks ago and they also looked the car over and told me my ball joints were loose. So I had it looked at last week by my local shop for wheel shake/ball joints/strut mounts/swaybar links/etc --they checked EVERYTHING but couldn't find anything wrong.

No suspension clunks or bangs this morning, just suddenly heard/felt a thunking like something was in the tire, so I pulled over...tire seemed OK. Slowly drive a little more to turn around and suddenly "PSSHSHSHSHSHSHSHHSHSHS" like I was draging something. Pull over again and find tire completely flat.

I called the shop up today, asked if the mechanic saw anything when he had it in the air and said--no everything was fine. I texted them the pics and they were awestruck and said there's no way they would have missed that and no way they would have let me leave the shop like that. They couldn't offer any explanations for how that would happen either, because even while the car's in the air, the spring is still under compression.

:-o. I cannot understand that either. Glad you were going slow when it happened.
