  1. Hood Protector

    I wonder if they changed something? I have the hood insulation, checked adjustments and bump stops. It's annoying and may eventually become a problem. Aluminum flexing thousands of times will probably crack at some point. After warranty of course 🙄
  2. Swollen Nuts?

    Probably saving. 0001 cent per nut. 😁
  3. Hood Protector

    I have the Ford one. No change in ridiculous hood vibration at freeway speeds. It's so bad I've had passengers ask if that was normal. Of the 20 or so Ford's I've had this is the only one that does it. Reminds me of some of the old Mopars I've had. Hood pins were required for safety 🤣.
  4. 245 instead of 225 tires

    I went to 245 when I replaced mine. Looks great, no noticable change in milage.
  5. Anyone thinking about adding a Race Chip?

    Didn't watch the video but I know from my days as a dealer all chip type mods were detectable on the diesels. I can't see these being any different. You're modifying a computer = traceable. I know a kid that secretly chipped his dad's 6.7L, it blew up on dad. Our tech informed a very peeved dad...
  6. Black letter overlay yay or nay

    Hard yay! Ours is Area 51, I will be buying these. If they came in black from the factory and someone painted them white we'd probably be thinking WTH? 🤣. As always though, to each his own.
  7. Do you talk about your BS too much?

    Hahaha true. It's a beautiful car. I'm looking at trading it on this AMG GT. That would make me a happy man 😁
  8. Thinking about painting the roof

    I'd go with wrap. Cheaper and easy to return to stock if you or a future buyer decide you don't like it anymore. I have Area 51 with carbonized Gray. I'm thinking black would look better and blend in with the windows and pillars.
  9. Do you talk about your BS too much?

    I only talk about it when asked and that is more often than I expected. Having owned many high end classic show cars through the years I was used to answering questions about my rides. It does surprise me when I get that many questions about a newer vehicle. We bought a nice Mercedes cabriolet...
  10. Hey Ford, Leave My Recirc On!

    Thanks, I learned something I should have already known! Appreciate it!
  11. Hey Ford, Leave My Recirc On!

    Agreed. Too many nannies. Should also be able to permanently turn off lane keeping and off auto stop/start in vehicle settings.
  12. I have come to a conclusion....

    I am old too. 😁. I was a Ford dealer for many years, just sold and retired. My biggest challenge was finding staff that were passionate about their jobs. We did have a great team overall though. Always had service loaners, can't imagine functioning without them. Some of the horror stories I've...
  13. I have come to a conclusion....

    The Lamborghini and Mercedes forums are the same. All vehicle lines have problems. On the service side, I've seen a decline in service right across the entire marketplace, not just dealerships. Not sure why, a lot of experienced long term employees retiring? Manufacturers took advantage of...
  14. Now the windshield!

    On our 3rd one. 27,000 miles. Thankfully have insurance. 200.00 deductible as they are almost 2000.00 in Canada!
  15. MBRP 2.5" Resonator-Back Exhaust 1.5L -- Thoughts & More

    Although I love the sound of a loud rumble. I personally only modify my exhaust if I have the horsepower to accompany it. The majority of my previous muscle cars had electric exhaust cut outs. The active exhaust on my Corvette was amazing. No cats and still no drone when closed. To each his own...
  16. Goodbye to my Bronco sport

    That's brutal! I believe Mazda makes a good product! Best of luck.
  17. AN OPINION ON THE EV MARKET

    Every potential EV buyer should watch "The Cobalt Challenge" on YouTube. Slave & child labour in action.
  18. Open Letter to Ford Motor Company

    As a former Ford dealer (recently sold the business) I cannot tell you how many times I had to step up and rectify manufacturers & warranty issues. I usually, unsuccessfully applied for assistance from Ford afterwards. In a town of 5000 people our reputation was everything. All dealers have...
  19. Hood release

    Zero problem here.
  20. Swollen Nuts?

    100 agree, we've had to tow vehicles off the Trans Canada highway because of it. Stranded on a very dangerous mountain pass in the dead of winter is extremely dangerous!
