Probably no surprise that her GT is RED.

Check this out -- little mishap on the way to the airport. This makes on-board fire supression look like a fabulous idea! http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20090601/ARTICLES/906019961

Thanks for the help you guys! I ordered one of Kendall's kits. I also called AppleValley Ford here in Minneapolis and they can get another Optima for 142$ + tax. Backorder for about 10 days. I"m going to batteries plus to check on Odyssey to see if it will fit without bulging up the trunk...

Wow, thanks for the quick response on the dead battery you guys! I read the old post re: sanding under the ground strap. I'll do that, but I suspect the Optima is fried. it's been compeletly discharged several times now. Where do i search for the recall on the early '05 electrical draw...

I have an early '05 FGT, warranty up last Feb 09. 11,000 miles. Battery doesn't stay up. Should one expect it to need replacement after 3+ years ( like other batteries i guess)? Any other earlier cars replacing batteries, or should i look for another reason it is discharging?

ebay That's interesting. But your web site says you sell 90% of your cars through ebay. where is the disconnect?

Stephen, have you done any more investigation on extended warranties? two of my buddies with GTs have had some scary problems, one got a new transmission this week and the Ford Dealer's price was $18,000!!!! My other friend's calipers all developed hairline cracks at the drill holes and Ford...

I have a metallic squeak heard during moderate to hard acceleration, on the rider's side, front corner of the car. Gets worse as the gas tank empties out. When i fill her up, it's pretty well gone. Anybody else had this issue?

A friend of mine here in Minneapolis has an 06 which was hard or impossible to get into reverse. Apple Valley Ford, south of Minneapolis just replaced the whole transmission. We are swapping my car for his out there tomorrow -- to get rid of a squeak that is driving me nuts. We think the...

Got room for 2 more for Thursday evening at BJ? if so, put me down--what is the time by the way? Cotty Lowry

Have you sold your midnight blue GT? please PM me the price & mileage. cotty

The last time i was in Rochester Minnesota, the Ford/Toyota dealer had a black one. It's worth a call.

If it were for sale, how much would you ask? Cotty
