Thanks! Just realized I need to get something to replace that Sync emblem.

Next up is an appointment to fix my headliner for my convertible top (again) and then I think I’m ready to buy a tune for her.

Busy day today on my '12 5.0!

I've had a brake vibration since I bought the car in April, got the tires off and was able to see where the pads had imprinted on the rotors while it was sitting on the dealer lot. Turned the front rotors, much better now! Re-aligned the Corsa axlebacks, it was driving me crazy seeing them off center in the exhaust holes in the bumper. Checked all the suspension bushings, greased the adjustable panhard rod and sway bar bushings, unfortunately haven't found the cause of the creak noise in the rear yet. Got up under and tried to determine if the clutch was stock or something else, ultimately couldn't gather any information. All I figured out was that the trans has been out of the car before, so my hope is that it's an aftermarket clutch in the car. Rotated and balanced the tires. Topped off the washer fluid and got to thinking about how my car needs a bath!

In the recent past, changed the oil and filled it with Mobil 1 5w-30 and a Motorcraft filter. Changed the coolant and filled with Motorcraft yellow. Changed the manual trans fluid, filled with BG SyncroShift II fluid. I noticed a difference with that, would definitely advise using it! Also swapped the spark plugs, blew the PSCM fuse in the process, then replaced the PSCM fuse ($30 for being a dummy).

Up next, time to clean and apply leather conditioner to the seats, along with a nice wash and spray wax.

I always feel like I haven't done much with the car, until I type it out!

Fixing Battery light issue

Battery died on me and got it replaced with negative terminal replaced also. Still dies on startup, voltage goes as low as 9v when starting up.

Have your charging system/alternator checked! If replacing the battery didn't help, then it's more than likely the alternator.. Meanwhile, welcome aboard...

What he said and if that checks out I would check to see how much juice the starter draws when turning the key.

Got it all shined up and itching to take it out for a nice drive... Of course it has been hitting us with spot monsoon rain showers for the last few days. That will hopefully go away by tomorrow.

Got the annual inspection sticker done this morning.
Fell in love with the car all over again. I never get to see someone else move my car around, so I was watching as my friend was pulling her in and then out of the garage bay. Fell in love.
Gorgeous morning for a drive as well, so I enjoyed the drive there and back home. A little chilly when I first left, but it warmed up really nice while outside waiting for the inspection to be done.

Can't believe NOBODY has done anything for 6 months!

Filed an insurance claim for it (yesterday).

Didn't expect a 50 something to be texting while she waited for a light. Susan was driving and unharmed. Car just needs ~$1,000 of bumper R&R and paint. Painted stripes are expensive. Lady's insurance (AAA) still deciding who's at fault, but they did not see the video until an hour ago and their insured sure as hell had no idea what happened unless she did it on purpose. Pretty obvious she didn't know she hit anything until the impact "woke her up". Can't even claim no brake lights since both were stopped for a prolonged time before she started up and drove into our still stationary car.



Glare from rising sun directly into our camera hides what the driver was doing instead of watching the road.

Don't know what happened to your post but the whole center large paragraph dropped out so light I can't read it, but I'm interested in hearing the story.

I Had An Exiting Drive in the Gt-500 Today! I Moved it Out of the Carport While I Used the Weed Eater & Let the Battery Charge While Doing the Yard Work. Then I Put it Back But Parked the Opposite Way! I'm Living the Dream!

Thanks Kevin, I was finally able to read it with a lot of squinting, but I'm getting old lol.

I hate to see that Hoosier Daddy, sucks that we can't feel comfortable driving our nice cars without worrying about some idiot out there.
