Well it was a fun car, but daily driving it 60 miles a day was taking a large toll on my wallet in fuel cost (at least $600 a month). So, I sold the car yesterday and purchased a CPO 11 BMW 335d. I've had the 335i, so this time I thought I'd try the oil burner. Its great on fuel mileage and...
I pulled my center console today to install a new e-brake handle and cable. I found this antenna cable made by "Antennas America Inc" attached to the inside of the console. It wasn't hooked up to anything. Just wondering does anyone else have this on their car or maybe it was the origninal owner...
I have a coolant leak on my '07 and I don't have time to fix it myself right now. I am looking for a recommendation for good shops in the Atlanta area (inside the perimeter would be preferred). If all else fails I'll go to a dealership. Just looking for input from other owners.
I have the original maps installed on my GPS on my 07. I've been looking online and came across this site:

Have any of you guys done this...
For those of you guys who run stock(ish) size tires if you're like me you're always looking for options other than the Goodyears that won't break the bank. Vredestein, is a European tire manufacturer who makes a very good product. I've run the Vredestein Sessanta tires on my old BMW and Z28 with...
I had Meth on my 335i as well as many other owners and it was like the magic pill for those cars, sort of like nitrous for a LS1.
I've been considering adding meth injection to the Shelby and wondered if anyone else here is using it. I found this kit from Snow that uses MAF voltage as a...
So I posted a while ago that the stock 07 clutch bit the dust at 22K. I ended up taking everyone's advice and bought the McLeod RXT for the replacement. I drove the car down to my Dad's shop in Port Orange, FL and decided to change out the springs too.
Installed:
McLeod RXT

So my basically stock 2007 GT500 just started exhibiting signs of clutch slip. I've poured over all the article on the flywheel warping and causing synchro failure. I pulled the TSB up on AllData and did the test procedure to see if the synchros are bad and they're not.
That being said my...
OK I'm going to move forward with the Saturday Morning meet. Since no other suggestions were made, it looks like we're going with my original idea.
Place:

Being that morning weekend meets have become popular (i.e. Caffeine and Octane) I want to get input from local people on if we could start a meet of our own. Nothing official at first, for example the 2nd Saturday morning at 9:00am we could meet at an area breakfast joint. Could be coffee and...

P.S. If this has been posted before or is in the wrong video section please move it or remove it, its not car related, that being said its pretty damn funny.
I was driving home from work tonight down US 19/41 (S. Atlanta) toward I-75 when I heard a V6 Firebird with a whistling sound like a turbo besides me. I was trying to get the driver to come along side so I could ask him about his car when I see a set of low set headlights come ripping up behind...
This might have been asked about on here before but I didn't find it. Is there a way to find the build date for my car? In the brief research I've done I believe it has a build date of June of 2006 making it one of the first Shelbys produced. Is there a build tag on the car somewhere? My 1990...
This Sunday is Caffeine and Octane in Cobb county. I'll be going, trying to show up by 8:30. Its at another new location. Here's the site: Caffeine and Octane East Cobb Car Show
Anyone interested in going?
Anyone in the ATL Metro area want to meet up?
I've been in ATL for 3 years and haven't noticed much of a car scene, anywhere.
I was hoping to get some people together and meet up just to hang out with fellow car people. I don't get to make it out to the car shows as I work weekends, so...
I'm trying to install a flip-up deck into a friend's 2003 GT with the regular MACH stereo. I have the harness that connects wires to power the head unit and all works fine. The problem is, is that the volume is very low and the front door speakers do not work. I assume that is what the other...
I have a 95 teal escort as my daily driver to and from school and such. We sandblasted the wheels and painted them gunmetal grey. I was thinking about painting the front grill and the rear spoiler flat black like a Mach1. Then I was going to get two decals made up in the Mach1 lettering style...
