2010-2014 Ford Mustang S-197 Gen II Lets see your latest Pics PHOTO GALLERY
I meant a dark, deep blue. It's my favorite color of Mustangs present and past. Was set on it but it wasn't offered in my vintage. Couldn't remember the name, but Kona makes sense. Looks like deep pacific water outside Hawaii 
My wife will say I am too!
Thanks Tony, all good! Hope you are well also. Summer is flying by so fast man!

A few days ago, cleaning my car and the wife cleaning hers, in preparation for the big Mustang Mania 2017 show at the Budweiser plant in Merrimack, NH:

^ Gabe looks awesome! Btw, congrats on the marriage. I still remember when you guys were just dating, then fiance. Time flies. Very cool that you both enjoy mustangs and cars in general, and are able to do the things you are passionate about, together.
And yes, I do find myself lucky to have found somebody sharing most of my hobbies

Looking good Gabe.. The restaurant and store you and your wife went to must had been a really special place to travel 250 miles for lunch and shopping lol.
Thanks Tony!
Thanks Rocky.
It was mostly a trip trying to get my Oxygen sensors to go "ready" for state inspection, and that didn't happen.
While we were in Freetown, ME though, we decided to have lunch there and then did a bit of shopping since we didn't want to just eat and fly back.
So, a nice day trip with the wife

I took Ruby to the races yesterday and stumbled upon a pretty cool photo op.
The great thing about Red Candy is it looks great in the sun, even when it isn't super clean and waxed.

I would narrow it down to either something being wrong with the oxygen sensors or perhaps something is wrong in the tune

Rocky, it's worse than that, I have over 2,000 miles of driving this car over the last 2.5 months trying to get it to go inspection-ready, I've been trying different tune revisions from my tuner, I still can't get the O2s to go ready.
I've replaced the rear oxygen sensors, still nothing.
I even tried a slightly bigger pulley for a couple weeks, and nothing.
This morning I put the small 3.125" pulley back on and took it out for a spirited drive, within 10 minutes the catalyst went ready!!!
So here's hoping that the next cruise I take will do something good for the O2s.

Then I'm really stumped Gabe, as I don't understand how the pulley size would have anything to do with the oxygen sensors being ready or not ready.. IMHO their not even related to one another to my knowledge.. From what you've described, we know that it's definitely not the oxygen sensors, otherwise they wouldn't show ready when reinstalling the smaller 3.125" pulley back on..
Therefore I still believe there's something just not set right in the tune revisions.. If I were you, I would recommend seeking a second opinion from another tuning vendor just for your own piece of mind

I sent e-mails out to VMP and Lund yesterday wondering if they might be able to guarantee me a tune that will fix my issues.
We'll see what they say.
I really can't afford to spend countless hundreds of dollars on tunes, just hoping they'd work.

I said that to someone today.
