? about the bullitt
I have odered a Bullitt and it should be built sometime.. The question that I have is the spare tire...it says that the spare tire is replaced by a tire gauge, does this mean that the bullitt comes with run flats? Just asking....

The Bullitt comes With BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWS tires....not run-flat. The kit in the trunk is designed to inflate and seal a punctured tire (assuming it is like the one in my SSR Truck).

I wonder how well it works? I'm guessing if you're stuck in Bumblef*ck, Nowheresville, you're sh*t out of luck? Or does Ford just call the local Bob's Big Azz garage to give you a bail?

I know Discount Tire & NTB really frown when they see a flat come in that had "Fix-A-Flat" injected/put inside. That stuff is a mess when you break the tire down. Yuck!

The manufacturers and auto clubs (like AAA) will contract out with independent shops in most areas, not just remote areas. So yeah, you're gonna get Bob's Big Azz out to bail you out. Even in a large metro area. I know from personal experience that BMW's incar emergency SOS service does the same thing and I bet GM's OnStar does too. No clue (yet) about Ford's.

But by the same token, they weren't the ones who had to either change the tire on the side of the Suburban Extension Metropolitan Speedway (insert name of your local freeway here), call and wait for an hour or two in an unfamiliar area, or walk a whole bunch of miles in 10 degree weather for help. So frown back at 'em while they sit in their comfy shops sippin' lattes or whatever they drink in there. : )
Besides, it's a heckuva lot better'n freakin' runflats. Yuck!

Overall, I was really pleased with how well the whole event was handled.

Yeah, I wish BMW did that with my old Z4 instead of equipping horrid runflats.... brrrrr. The thing tramlined like nobody's business with stock runflats.
