    Recent increase in value?

    In Canada, an appraisal submitted to the insurance company is what keeps the car's value current. For a $100 a year it works pretty good. BTW...is there a way to find out how many 2005 -6 GT's are still out and about? I know quite a few have departed our roads and I remember there was a registry...

    Stress cracks in 27K mile, 0 Stories 05 GT

    Looks like stress cracking of the panel at the compound curve when you get lateral movement. The "arch" is flexing. If it was a flat panel ...it would have flexed but because of the wrap-around it cracks. Seen this on older corvettes that are raced. My 2 cents worth

    Historic Ford GT Videos

    Have you ever come across the video Ford made of how they did the body parts and the process they go through to do the painting? If you do please let me know because it is one of the best videos I have seen from a car company.

    Oil Change price

    I do my own oil change because that is only one of the maintenance items you find. There is a lot you learn on how your car is doing when you take off the pans. Manifold heat shield bolts have been found on the pan, trans oil vapors, checking the AC system, rubber heat shield foil starts to cook...

    Inane Ramblings: The Ford GT and Ferrari Lust

    I was always afraid that I was going to break something on the Ferraris or Lambos. This would mean shop time at the best time of the year. I now have a car who's weakest link is between the tires and the road. It's a keeper!

    Ford GT Media Videos

    In late 2005, Ford made 2 videos - one on the complexities of how the car was painted and the other on how the car was built. They were excellent videos of abou:confusedt 5 min each. I have contacted Ford but to no avail. Any one know where I can track them down?
