    GPS/motion sensor installation

    So I finished the installation last weekend, and finally had a chance to set up & test the Arrowtrack GPS unit. I installed the GPS unit in the front trunk and ran its wires to the battery concealed inside ribbed plastic tubing tie wrapped to the trunk frame. I fished the ignition lead through...

    Storing Clothes for wife and me for a trip ideas?

    There is no street parking to speak of. The is a public parking lot just behind Palace on the street running parallel to State Street. I would take a cab from Bacara to State Street to eliminate the risk of damage. By the way, the area around Los Olivos and Solvang is very scenic and would be...

    changing oil?

    first step: learn EXACTLY where the lift points are on the GT. second step: buy service manual -- there are some for sale on eBay for $50 - $100. third step: get a good low profile jack and good jackstands. fourth step: follow service manual instructions and don't rush things. due to the...

    a great floor jack for a GT

    from looking at pictures of the Omega and the ATD, they appear to be the exact same jack only 1 is red and the other is black. could they be made by the same mfg and rebranded?

    How many of the 4,000 produced have been totaled

    25% totaled seems very high to me. I know the car is a beast, but I'd like to think more than 75% of owners are capable of driving them safely. I don't have a better number, but would guess that it would be closer to 5% - 8%.

    Interesting week for the car market

    a couple of thoughts on Barrett Jackson OC: 1). the first year in OC is nothing like any year in Scottsdale. If I were trying to sell a high end car, i would not have brought it to a no-reserve auction in its first year in OC. i would wait 6 months and sell it in Scottsdale where all the...

    a great floor jack for a GT

    i saw that same side-by-side comparison between the Omega & AC jacks. i almost went with the Omega about a year ago prior to getting my GT (i had two other low profile cars). But once Pelican began stocking them again, i thought of all the years of great customer service i had received from...
