Not sure if they are manual or automatics. But, I did a quick search one day because I was curious and it was page after page after page.
(I know I'll get flack for it, but my next toy is going to be an automatic with paddle shifts. The Hellcat A8 shifts AMAZINGLY fast and crisp with the paddle shifts and without. I'm not alone, A LOT of the members on svtperformance are doing the same. A lot have bought Hellcats and are looking to buy Hellcats. Most of them A8's.) Hellcats are beastly bro.
That's all I read about them on the other Mustang forums, but they can't turn. LOL
LOL you're right. I just searched... a lot available. It's still over 51k for a used 2015 though My budget is around 40k for a used toy...

hmmmmm

55 degrees and sunshine galore, so I fired her up. Didn't drive her as the roads were salted/sanded last night because of the rain and falling temps.
I can't wait to rinseless wash her and get her all super clean and shiny. I very rarely use water.

(She's actually pretty clean now, considering I drove her twice this winter and it's too cold to be out in the garage to really clean. **Disregard the front wheel. It looks dirty, but I assure you, it is not. Just the lighting and the angle. )

^ I see a speck of dirt! Unacceptable!

hehe... kidding man.

I use rinseless all the time too. Just be careful when you do it, to ensure no swirls/scratches.

Only thing about them though, I still use a hose to clean out the wheels/wheel wells. Hard to do that with just a bucket.

Yeah,....rinseless is the best!! (I use Adam's Rinseless as it contains no wax. I don't use wax on my vehicles. Nothing wrong with wax, I just prefer not to.) Just roll the microfiber as you clean and you're good. And always switch panels for a clean panel on the microfiber when going from panel to panel on the vehicle.
To do my wheels, I use about 2 good sized soft paper towels actually. I soak them, wring them out so they're wet, but not sopping wet, and wipe away. (That's how I do the inside of the wheels, if that was what you were talking about Burton. Super easy, till you get to the area where the calipers sit. Lots of scraping and bruising going on then. LOL )

Got my house/yard chores done for the day. Did my chest workout earlier before doing my chores, so I decided to waterless wash the Roush and get her looking like new. Still need to do the windows and I usually follow up the Adam's waterless wash with a Zaino detail spray, but I might skip the Zaino step, if I decide to drive it today. (I do the Zaino detail spray as it cleans any leftover residue/streaks from the waterless wash. Also helps with the shine on the car.)

**I know I said Adam's rinseless wash above this post, but I mis-wrote. I use the waterless wash in a spray bottle as the Roush doesn't get really dirty. Perfect as it contains no wax.
This was the first time I used their double soft microfiber towels. They looked super soft on the website and their videos, so I added them to the cart. WOW!! They are amazing! I'm hooked on them. Super soft and very, very plush.

Thanks Burton.
I haven't taken her out in a while though. I think it was about a month ago now. That was a 'throwback' photo from a couple of years ago, I think.
Hopefully we both get to take out the beasts soon.

Throwback Thursday! (Old photo, but one of my favorites of my car.)
I did fire her up today and let it idle in the driveway for a bit and moved it up and down the driveway to get the tires/mechanics moving again.

Took the Roush out this morning to get it's annual inspection sticker. (1 month overdue! Lol Doesn't bother me at all as I don't drive the car much. Plus, between being sick and rainy weather, I wasn't taking it anywhere. My car doesn't see the light of day if it's cloudy or risk of a shower/rain. )
So now, she's "legal" again. (As I mentioned, I don't drive it much,.......from April 2016 to May 2017, I put on LESS than 500 miles on it. My buddy Gabby does the vehicle inspections at the shop I go to and he logs the mileage of all the vehicles he does as well as description. We've been friends for a long time. We used to work together back in the day and he lives literally, less than 3 minutes way from me.)
What a gorgeous morning for a drive. I so enjoyed it. That car runs and sounds so freaking good. EVERY SINGLE TIME I bring it to get the inspection sticker, I end up talking to people about my car. They always approach me, ask questions, check it out, and say nice car. It's an awesome feeling. After all, this is why I bust my ***** at work,(Past and present),........to have my toys/great things in life, which I want and need.

On the way home, I had a little fun, but not too much fun as I still have the winter gas in it. Winter gas needs to burn off first. It's going to be a TOUGH decision thinking about going from a manual toy to an automatic toy. Not sure if I want an automatic toy, after banging gears this morning and all that burbling and gargling. What a freaking blast. Car runs strong!

Just ordered this. I've been meaning to order it for a while now. I'm about 5'10, but I would like to move the seat back a bit to get a little more comfortable.
Anyone on here use one of these clutch pedal extensions?

I'm 5'11"
If you were 5'10" you wouldn't need a clutch pedal extension.
How tall were the shoes you were wearing when you measured yourself at 5'10"?
