It goes real well with the green in the trees. Great contrast.

Mine's been in the garage the past few days, primarily due to weather or the threat thereof. The Fusion has been my means of transport.

But yesterday I needed some wind in my face so I ran in few errands in the Mustang. At a light I heard someone yell "REV IT". Naturally I complied. A young guy in a beat up Corolla pulled along side me, huge smile on his face, and complimented my car and the growling from my exhaust. As the light changed I let him pull ahead of me, and I heard him say "I gotta get one just like that."

You're welcome sir. I took it out last Friday for an hour. No pics, just cruising. I'll take it out this weekend if it nice out.
The more I look at your photos, the more I want a digital SLR camera.

Last night, with a friend's help and using his lift, finally got the CHE axle brace installed on the girlfriend's Shelby:
Terrible that he lives an hour away so I had to drive the car by myself back and forth ... lol ... she's out of town till tonight ... we'll see how she likes it, I don't think she'll like it much once she gets it up to about 70 mph and she hears the much louder whine now being transmitted from the rear diff ... :/

Gabe, educate me please. Purpose of the CHE brace is to...stiffen the rear end up for use during hard cornering, i.e. autocrossing and track sessions?

Nope. It's supposed to keep the axle tubes from twisting within the pumpkin, which usually happens on the left/driver side, and when that happens the tire ends up going forward and contacting the fender, sometimes bending the snot out of it, requiring bodywork.

Usually only happens on hard launches on DR's or slicks at the track

Since I'll never track or race the car, it sounds like I won't be needing this particular mod.

I'd be afraid of catching that brace on something in the road if I streeted the car a lot.


How far down does that hang below the diff?

I did pay off 3 more months on the Roush today though.
