  1. Looks nice. I want to ride it.
  2. I like the edge over the escape.
  3. Went to the track and embarrassed myself. I think I need the driver mod first. Massive wheel hop all through 1st and 2nd. It actually hooks way better on the street. Best pass was my first in the heat. 13.6 @ 110 2.4 60 ft. Haha. Mph is decent for the heat, but there no way I'm hooking the stock tires. I did destroy a stockish ls1 gto. He trapped like 103. Had to chase him down after I was done hopping.
  4. There's a hand on your hood. Or a white glove.
  5. Not quite bored yet. It's not very fast, but I still look forward to driving it everyday. Can't wait for it to be paid off in a few years. The second the powertrain warranty is up, I'm pulling the engine for some forged rods and piston.
  6. You probably have to be a amex customer already and meet certain monthly spending criteria. Say 20k a month. Idk what it really is. They don't want to give out black cards to people who won't use it even it you have a high credit score and income.
  7. When I do start messing with it (2-3 years), i'll probably be doing my own tuning on our chassis dyno at work.
  8. Very tempting to tune it, but I want to keep my warranty. Never know with a first year powertrain.
  9. Is it wrong that 412 HP feels slow already. I want another 100 HP. So tempting to start modding it.
  10. Neither had I when I got the car. I was really worried because it kinda looks bad on the ford website. I really like it in person though.
  11. How do I go fast and keep my warranty? D/Rs, 100 shot, and a spare new intake tube.
  12. Cleaned out the garage. All tucked in for the night. Car got a lot of positive comments at cars and coffee. Even the 5th gen camaro guys liked it. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs142.snc4/36473_422812557224_515552224_4215405_1090512_n.jpg
  13. Yeah. Ford racing. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs109.snc4/35793_422458082224_515552224_4207443_7211950_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs015.snc4/34132_422458122224_515552224_4207445_5190261_n.jpg Some interior pics. I know most like the black interior, but i wanted something light. It doesn't get too hot.
  14. Do your kids have legs? If so that might be a problem.
  15. Fusions are great cars also. Thanks for buying a Ford.
  16. What's up with your phone? I tried to send you a pic. No mods for now. Just going to enjoy it for a while.
  17. Well for the six hours I've had itc I love it. Pulls great from 3.5-7k. Pretty good mpg on the way home from work too.
  18. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs072.ash2/36960_422225637224_515552224_4202938_2685809_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs067.ash2/36724_422225552224_515552224_4202937_993586_n.jpg Hopefully those show up. I'll get some better pics tomorrow. These were just with my cell phone.
  19. I got 4.25 in may last year. No points either. 30 year fixed. Broker said only a couple people got locked in at that rate and I was lucky.
  20. Our 3 Ford GTs didn't finish as well. The 60 was dominating until making contact with a lmp2. Another crashed early and the last had some kind of fire.
  21. I can't believe how dumb people are with money. It's all common sense. Most people don't have enough self control. I have multiple credit cards that I use to buy everything. For the same reasons as Mallard. To get the points. They get paid off completely every month. Nothing carries over. Other than that I have a small car note and a small mortgage. I bought a car and house that were well within my means. I could still pay for everything if I suddenly had to live on half my salary. First thing I did after buying a house was to start building my emergency fund again. Before I bought my house it felt so good to have 40k in the bank and felt very scary when I spent it all on the house and didn't have much for the first few months. Now I have about 4 months in the bank. I'm also maxing out my 401k with the amount my employer matches. It's free money. I also still spend quite a bit, but I make sure I can afford it up front. All of these things are common sense though.
  22. Looks awesome. Too bad it cost 9 grand to fix GM's mistake.
