I hate to admit it, but it's time to part with my beloved '03 'vert. I've had her since day one, through thick & thin, richer and poorer, in sickness and in health. This car has been better than either of the two well endowed X-wives (no pics for the pervs). Hope the links work. Special...
My daughter has a '98 GT and is having trouble finding a CA legal exhaust (cats & aft cat mufflers) on-line to order for self-install. This has drug out for almost a month now.
Can anyone recommend a local exhaust or performance shop she can go to for an upgrade? Thanks in advance.
You get a Friends request from a familiar name.
Through reading their profile you determine it's a long lost nephew, so long lost you've never actually spoken to him but you recognize the name and facts in the profile.
Then you notice the relationship status of "Engaged".
You see that...
This weekend is my two year anniversary of quiting smoking. For all of you thinking of quiting, do it. And stick with it. I used Chantix, and for all the negative press, it worked well for me (and my roommate). If you can go cold-turkey, so be it. The important thing to know is that there...
I'm looking into starting a personal blog for the first time and am looking for input from those that have used one of the free/nominal sites. Primarily text and some photos. TIA.
Fellas - take some tissues, no kidding. If you've ever owned a dog, been married, had kids, etc., you'll probably get sweaty eyes one or more times. The critics haven't been kind to this movie, but I'm betting they're not dog people. It's based on a true story and it's very convincing. I...
I received a notice from Discount regarding a bad supply of Dill valve stems. They're (you're) offering free stem replacement which I think is stand-up and appreciated. A couple of questions though - the letter doesn't reference which tires I bought. I've purchased tires for my Cobra, my...
Tickets tomorrow for a benefit concert, Souls for Soles, featering The Doobie Brothers and 3 Dog Night. I'm trying to prepare for flashbacks to the 70's. It's all good.
I posted in A Taste of Home but didn't get much response. I'm in the process of moving to Las Vegas from Dallas and will need a new tuner and/or shop to take the Cobra to. I've found they only have 91 octane fuel so it's a bit of a concern to me about getting on it with my current tune...
I don't see much posted for Vegas SVT's. I just moved here from Dallas where I used HPP Racing for tuning and dyno runs. Any input on reliable local Cobra tuners would be appreciated as I'd like to new tune for the locale. Thanks and see some of you around.

While Adam's link was useful, I don't believe it to be completely accurate (not of his doing but the website owner). I only make this comment because I'm moving to Nevada (Las Vegas) in a few weeks and found this on the Nevada DMV site:
When you register your vehicle, you will receive two...
I don't recall anyone posting this before, but this info appeared in a recent TFR magazine:
1. Shape: The first oval trademark was introduced in 1907, though it wasn't used on vehicles. It had something of a football shape; today's perfect oval has a width-to-height ratio of exactly 8:3.

Just got back from a round-trip to San Antonio to see my roommates daughter and grandson. The Cobra had been at HPP for a little over two months trying to find a gremlin in the wiring after the ECM blew the coil packs, O2 sensors and injectors/harnesses. Car ran like a dream the whole time...
Just curious if having "off-road" mods is a violation in most jurisdictions. I just looked at the carbon fiber link in another forum and the advertisement stated, "Intended for off-road use only". I'm under the impression, "off-road" is strictly racing. True? But would it be a safety...
No flames - I did search but didn't find much. So last week my '03 starts a little rough, seems to want to lag at about 3k rpm. Warms up and everything is okay. I take a 4 day business trip to Vegas and get back yesterday. Drove it last night to pick up a pizza and no problem. Go out this...
Someone from the site sent me an e-mail last week asking questions about my clutch and said he was getting ready to race autocross and was looking for recommendations. Unfortunately, the e-mail was in my junk folder that gets swept and deleted every couple of days and I didn't respond quick...
A few may remember that I bought a '98 triple-black GT 'vert for my daughter back in February. All the fix-up was pretty simple stuff and the final tune was done by Manny and the guys at HPP Racing in Lewisville, Tx. Ended at 193 rwhp on an eight year old pony. We finally delivered the car...
I'm looking for a new daily driver to haul my dogs around in. On Autotrader.com there are two Ford Crown Vic's advertised as Police Interceptors. If I go look at them, how can I tell for sure and does it really make a difference? Thanks,
Just curious if anyone else drove in the Steak & Ale parade this morning to the North Texas Food Bank? Nice turnout with about 38 Mustangs of different years. The Shelby Cobra was nice, nice, nice and autographed by Carrol Shelby, I think #578 (whether you like him or not, the man can design...
I'm importing a '98 GT 'vert from Texas to Riverside for my daughter for her birthday in a couple of months and was wondering if there's a good Mustang/Ford performance shop in Riverside I can contact to do any maintenance on it (ex: will need a new clutch in a couple thousand miles)? I use HPP...
