Understood -- if I wanted that feature, I do it in a heart-beat, too. :)

Thank you very much for the offer, John! To my surprise, when I tried Enterprise Yeager, the website said no one-ways, too. Now that I think about it, I'm going to call these locations directly, and see what their staff says. I'm having a hard time believing the website's statement that the...

In the pre-production Michigan Assembly photos, there were a couple with close-ups of the rear window hinges -- bolts under a cosmetic cover. So, yes, doable -- but likely a pita (prying off the covers, holding the up the unbolts glass on one side while removing the bolts on the other side...

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, Enterprise's website tells me that one-way rental from northern VA to there is not possible. :( I suspect that this location is co-located at a car dealer, so they don't have Enterprise-dedicated vehicle storage space for excess vehicles.

Another no. Besides the weight, cost, complication, etc., the weather strip at the top is a negative -- look at all of the 1990's Broncos with rust holes at the bottom of their tailgates for the reason why ...

Agreed. And during a tour of Bilstein's US factory in a recent YouTube video (LiteBriteNation), the head of Bilstein's US ops was talking about how they work closely with manufacturers to tune the damping for specific application trims -- such as for the Bronco/Sasquach shock production line...

The typical coilover's length is fixed by the length of the shock (when you disassemble a coilover, you remove a nut on the end of the shock, allowing the pre-compressed spring to extend to its unloaded length). If you put a stiffer spring in a coilover, and assuming that the shock its not...

Shocks are incapable of increasing ride height --only springs can do that (physics). (Well, if the shock was too short to allow a spring to extend as much as intended, a longer shock stroke would allow *the spring* to raise the vehicle a bit higher). I recall a post in one of the Q&A threads...

I live in the east: no open Baja-like land within an easy drive, and snow. BL choice was easy for us.

I really like how they've arranged a rib under the mat to hold it in place.

Anyone else notice that the bull bar's Allen-head screws are already rusting? Not a good advert for a "Ford Performance by ____" part.

As long as the specs don't change, they're good. Note that most stickers on the vehicles state compliance with the requirements in place as of the date of manufacture, without listing specific versions of the requirements they meet. Assuming the 2022 CY requirements are the same as CY...

I do not really believe it matters much. That said, typically the next year's model is released circa September. But of course, this is anything but a typical launch, and they can do whatever they want -- fill all the orders with 2021-spec cars, do the usual MY shift, not change the 2022 MY...

Reserved 7/19 Switched 10/2 Northern Virginia

Not so sure -- those lines have been a characteristic of Mustangs for a long time. Our 2019 Mustang certainly has them.

Another transfer from Virginia. A six hour trip is a small price to pay for the discount and a dealer who is demonstrating that they want my business. I gave my home Ford dealer (from whom we purchased at least 7 new Fords over the last 24 years) a chance before I made the transfer. The...

Ok -- if you enlarge this picture, the left rear brake line comes down the side of the diff, and then is routed along the bottom of the axle tube for a ways, then behind the axle tube the rest of the way over. The right brake line is higher, and where it goes behind the right axle tube, the...

DI-only is precisely the reason Ford (and others) are going to DI/PI systems. DI-only results in trouble-causing carbon deposits to build up on the valve stems because there is no gasoline in the incoming air stream to wash off the nascent deposits (Google for pics of build-up). Going to port...

Drive it, just don't drone along on cruise control. Vary the engine load frequently (more important than varying engine speed). The objective is to occasionally create additional combustion pressure in the combustion chamber to force the piston rings outward to "scrub in" to the cylinder walls...

We decided why wait for an empty nest. We sold our Miata when our son was ~3.. Flash forward 9-10 years, and I realized "we have a 4-door SCrew F-150 -- why can't the second car have only 2 seats??" By the end of 2005 we had a <3000 mi. 2004 C5 Corvette in the driveway. :) Also, because we...
