Since the summer tires are on I put on my "race" tune from Redliners Performance. Throttle is really aggressive now...not sure I'll stick with it for daily driving, but it sure as hell was fun cruising around tonight.

What's kindda sad.... I activated her on Friday, drove it over the weekend, then did a thorough detail cleaning/wash on Sunday. Drove it yesterday, Monday, then it got dirty on the road due to some sloppy parking lots. Had to wash it AGAIN yesterday after work. Now she's all clean and tucked away, I won't drive her anymore this week

I took mine out on the roads for the first time today. Dying to get off work so I can drive some more. Not sure when I'll get it out again since the driveway is still thawing. Gotta get every second I can.

updated my Ford experience thread, posted in the thread about the PS leak i had and then proceeded to acquire all the parts required to repair the leak in multiple areas with in the system....


not happy about what happened and that the inspection missed this but oh well at least the issue is being worked on....OH and then got told more or less a load of BS by one of the service techs about the dark brown water like fluid in the power steering pump.....so yea all in all good day for me and the Mustang here NOT!!!!

Looking good!


Got the car cleaned up today! going to try and put the TMS decals on the windows now. Also had a talk with the service manager at Glenn Ford and they are working with me to make things proper so I am feeling better then I was yesterday! Things seem to be coming together with this mess!
