    December 2017 Passenger Airbag Recall Status

    I've had the drivers side and passenger side (temporary fix) done at different times. I would guess an hour total for both, maybe less if they jump on it right away. Having new passenger side actuator installed next week.

    Possible gas tax hike

    An old Forbes article stating that when Congress passed a hike in the gas tax in 1990 only 1/2 of the increased revenues were dedicated to highways and infrastructure. The last increase in 1993 again didn't specifically dedicate that all the monies collected to be for highways and...

    December 2017 Passenger Airbag Recall Status

    I visited my local dealership yesterday and spoke with the service manager regarding the recall. He pulled up the email from Ford and it said the parts were to be starting to be delivered the week of February 5th. No parts yet available.

    FGT Insurance

    In case of damage to your car would your insurance company allow the work to be performed by the GT GUY Rich in Michigan? Drew said they would build/fold that into the estimate and allow it to be repaired Rich.

    New Shelby GT500(?)

    You mean it's going to have the sagging rear end problem of the GT350R with too much weight again? This is a real problem that needs to be addressed. Gaps looked fine at delivery. Sits in an AC warehouse in Florida with 600 miles on it and the ass is sagging. WTF?

    New Shelby GT500(?)

    After the 2013 and 2014 GT500's had 662 HP, they'll need to really "take it up a notch" above 700 HP to gain traction in sales. Many alternatives out there now. Hopefully some kind of aggressive/retro styling?

    Over promise and under deliver is his routine, not to mention a lost satellite.

    Mecum Kissimmee GT auction result 1/13/18

    Most of his cars are very low mileage. Probably drives them a couple times and puts them away.

    My 2018 GT order is in!

    Awesome color choice. The red brake calipers really make that triple yellow pop. Congrats.

    Post your prediction of what the GT will sell for at Barret Jackson.

    Ron Pratt's business acumen, and timing of same, is only exceeded by his generosity to various charities. Quite the gentleman.

    Ouch! But deserved...

    There's a tv news video of it being fueled at a CA gas station. I understand that's where it now is. http://www.naplesmotorsports.com/vehicle-details/2006-ford-gt-coupe-9e0b35b4996d4cd99df3b1c403570850/

    Ouch! But deserved...

    Not to mention his 2006 Tungsten GT has 1,200 miles on it and is for sale at an exotic car dealership in Naples, supposedly on consignment. A real Ford fan for sure.

    How do your Cup 2 tires look after 3,000 miles with no spirited driving?

    GT350 Mustang Oil consumption

    That's not unusual for the GT350. Some seem to burn more than others.
