    Suggestion - don't reply to trolls

    If one ignores trolls, they will go away because they won't get what they want -- irate replies. If the troll persists in their inflamatory posting, then the admins can ban them. By not replying, the thread will eventually work it's way down the page, and then off of it. (The GT General...

    Another Friday, another "clean, unscheduled" status

    Since Ford updates the order status every Thursday, my dealer checks every Friday, and my order is still at "clean, unscheduled". :frown I must be under the wrong impression that a retail customer order takes precedence over an order for inventory. :confused Special procedures for special...

    Does it really take two people to raise the engine cover?

    A friend told me he talked to a GT owner who says it takes two people to raise the engine cover. Something about having to manipulate two latches at the same time. Is it that difficult to raise the engine cover?
