    Never Work on Cars When Tired

    Pulled a real boneheaded move. While replacing a battery and hooking up a quick disconnect harness for a wireless battery monitor and trickle charger, I inadvertently sheared the negative battery terminal compression bolt. Well done me. Of course, being Ford, one can't simply buy a...

    A Cryin' Shame

    Car dealers have the reputation they do for a reason. That’s not to say many great dealerships and many terrific salespeople don’t exist, but the bad minority is bad enough to stain them all. I just ran headlong into one of them. I recently decided to add another GT500 and found a car that was...

    An increasingly-tough choice

    I have to admit, as much as I love the GT500 and believe there's simply no substitute, after seeing the close-out incentives Ford is offering upon the remaining S197 stock, $60K plus is a mighty big ask versus what one can make of a perfectly decent baseline GT can be had for less than $27K and...

    Am building a new home that will include a 3-car garage bank reserved exclusively for indulging my automotive pursuits. Because one third of the width is situated beneath a portion of the home's second floor, one third of the width will be restricted to a 10' ceiling while the remaining two...

    2013 to 2014 WWYD?

    With the 13/14 model years being so unique to GT500 in so many ways, one question continues to periodically cross my mind which pertains to what may happen to be crossing others’ minds. Incremental changes throughout the S197 GT500 product cycle have provided owners with decent reasons and...

    2011 GT500 SVTPP Tire Sizing

    As much as the SVTPP wheels and tires add to the 2011 GT500's performance and handling, their size restrictions - combined with the lack of OEM PCM reprogramming for SVT vehicles - creates no small problem given that the stock F-1 G: 2s are the only tires available for the vehicle in stock...
