so who agrees with Fubar? one can look at the color and rub the dipstick oil 'tween your 60year old fingers and assess the status of the oil?? I, for one say yes!! If it still has that pristine honey oil color that it had when you dropped it in... well good to go, --- that is at least another...

have a red w/white, my 2nd would red w/white!! Why? my profile would stay the same, yet the 2nd car would be TT'ed! Just my direction. Redeemed

In response to conditions, all cars are garaged (of course), but some some cars are more garaged than others!! FGT is in HVACed condition. I'm in southeast where sub-freezing is unusual and probably doesn't penetrate into wind protected structures like a garage. Cars are always on pavement...

Hey, I'm as lazy as the next guy... scratch that, I'm LAZIER than most!! My question for all you anal-retentive gearheads is: Is it reasonable to go TWO years between oil and filter changes, with the following provisos. I use only the specified OEM oil (always a full synth--Mobil 1 [except the...

ethanol Thought it obvious from my post that i also despised ethanol. I drive a fair distance to purchase ethanol-free. Aware of the higher BTU per volume or 'density' issue, as this has been described many times. Waiting to hear what Chip says re: no ethanol vs. Techron if one must choose.

how bad is ethanol? Because the boaters and 2 cycle guys despise 10% ethanol gas, I can still get ethanol-free 93 octane. The station owner knows the jobber that supplies him, but I didn't ask what national supplier the jobber buys from. I've always gone with the assumption that ethanol-free...

So who has switched? And reasons/advantages of each? And opinions on which lasts longer b4 needing re-app. Did you just go on top of the Zaino? Thanks, Redeemed

Please give an idea of price for detailing. I'd like to know if what I'm paying my detail guy is in the proper ballpark. At my request he uses Zaino on my cars. Also for Torrie, did you strip off Zaino? or just go straight to the new stuff?

So let the games begin! Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham Alabama is gorgeous and the museum is nonpareil.

Gonna be in town several days early for Rally 6. Already familiar with SLC. What attractions (hikes and outdoor stuff--whitewater outfitter? that wife would enjoy [put up with] )are within a few hours of Park City. I'll be there til transferring over to the Grand, Tuesday nite. Unfortunately...

I'm getting things set for MMP at SLC. Will be shipping her. What would those with experience suggest for tire pressures? Running Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 265/40/18 front and Potenza Scuderia 345/35/19 rear. And what lug nut torque? Thanks, Bert

to JAXGT: yes let's work a plan to have 'em hauled together and save some dough. REDEEMED

Why would I ever wash my car?? It never leaves the garage!

Need to make plans for hauling GT to SLC. I've talked to Jack of Excellence Auto Carriers and we need to get a trailer full for best pricing. I'm on the way out of Florida, close to ATL on I85, so it would be easy to start in FL and get me on the way by. REDEEMED

It is amazing how many people will ask what I paid for my FGT--- with the implicit assumption that my business is their business! My usual response is "Well, I got it used........" This allows me to have politely made a response to their query without giving any information. At the risk...

Yea, I know they're not really on the rocker panel, but you know what I mean. I'm considering peeling the side decals for a little more 'under the radar' appearance. So who has some photos of their sidestripe delete FGT? Would be nice to see it in RED. I've prowled thru lots of photos on...

for DBK--- what about Aug 23? Will Aug 23 also be a track day for us? It'll make a difference to my airline and spouse plans. Thanks, REDEEMED

'rain water runnin' all under my hood, I knew dat was doin' my motor good' C. Berry circa 1957 Did anyone experience 'limp mode' due to engine temp on Thursday at VIR in the rain? I did not, and I did not run FGT on Friday. Any experience with this, or is it too personal to discuss!

The discovery automotive site is up and running for all to see. Please see "Out of the Pit". That's my VOI. Only change is car has accrued 4,000 miles.
