Can get this for $230, down from $300. Is bluetooth worth it? I hate trying to dig into my pocket for my phone while driving. Ya I could sit it in the cupholder or something, but I'm afraid I'd forget it even though I'm OCD about making sure I have it.

The bluetooth is worth it as long as your car isn't loud. Otherwise nobody can hear you. I wouldn't even try in the 99. My truck isn't that bad but its not that loud as long as the windows are up

I agree. I hate when people call me on it - especially from in the car. The background noise is very aggravating. I sometimes say 'can you hear me now' and hang up.

GT isn't very loud unless I'm hitting the gas. The drone at 70mph is notable, but not drowning.

I have BT in both the Mustang and the Altima, I would not have it any other way. It improves safety and easy of use.

Naomi aint doing too bad. She actually needs surgury due to having a bone chip and torn rotator cup in her shoulder. She is still trying to get a house and everything back in TN so when I leave here we can be moved back there for good.

I hope whatever you get, they make it so it looks good. I've seen a lot of plates lately where it looks like different fonts are used and the spacing between the numbers and letters sucks.

Yeah its not really my first choice but with MA being so restrictive on vanity plates there aren't many options.

Woke up this morning to water leaking through wood work above my window. It's a nasty mess. Think it has to do something with this...also have a pic of the gutter in the back of our house. Notice how there's no icicles around the window...(bottom pic)

Seeing as you drove the notch once this year, and are talking about how you don't really even like driving it now because of the slowness, I'd buy for the GT. The notch right now it seems is like a waste of money until you make it faster. So you could just save for a 5.0 swap and skip the other stuff!

You have an ice dam on the eve and the snowmelt is backing up and entering under the shingles, down the walls, and in your case the window. A quick fix is to shovel the last two feet of snow off the roof overhang in the hope that if you get above freezing some of that will drain, or at least it will stop building up as much. It has entered your attic area and in time will mildew/rot your rafters, soffits, and is reducing your insulation value - which will increase the problem in future years.

I have to watch it in deep snow and am trying to figure the best way to resolve it. When its deep I shovel the 2' off the edge. There are heat tape systems but I'm not entirely convinced. Besides I already burn 6000 watts on tank heaters in horse troughs. I don't really want to double my bill again. Perhaps I can alternate.

Then there's this new method but they are quiet about the details on their website. I think it involves a decorative metal roof piece on the last few feet of overhang with a heat tape within:

I had to do a double take on that one. It looks pretty real in the pic.

I was checking the cams earlier, but now Kite Loft and Ocean Gallery cams are covered with snow and no visibility.
