    Ford GT at Corvette Show

    Just returned from a corvette show where my GT garnered a lot of attention and admiration. It felt good to have something different from the rest. Sure, I own a corvette, but so many thousands upon thousands of people. No big deal. The GT is different. It made me feel good and I had a great...

    Trying to locate Cluxton's business

    Can anybody believe that a concrete bump stop came up to the front of my car and broke my front air dam? I thought concrete stops didn't move. Well, that's almost the way it happened. Anyway, I need a new piece. Can I get one on the "cheap"? Leon

    Cleaning front GT stripes?

    Took my GT out for a high speed run on a deserted road. Didn't pick up any tickets but did manage to get a lot of bugs. How do you clean off the bugs on the stripes? Afraid to use regular cleaners as I don't want to damage the stripes. LEON Hilton Head Island, SC
