    Replacement tire problems

    In May 2022, my Ford dealer told me I needed to replace my tires in order to meet inspection. Since the original tires aren't around anymore, they suggested Eagle F1's as a replacement. These have a smaller sidewall than the original tires, but they thought they would work. After they put on...

    AR-15 prices

    My father and I are thinking of purchasing a couple AR-15's. The prices we're seeing around here (eastern PA) are between $1700 and $2000. Does that seem reasonable?

    Contact help for scout troop

    Our ambulance company sponsors a medical explorer post. We're always looking to expose the kids to real life examples of medically related activities. I was thinking a trip to a race track's EMS facility would be something they might like. Does anybody know anyone at Pocono or NJMP that might...

    Tire warning

    I'm sure most of you check this kind of thing, but I feel it's imporant to say anyway. I need new rear tires, so my dealer ordered a set of Goodyear F1's. When they came in, my dealer called me and said they were nearly 5 years old and he would not install them. He ordered a second set from...

    Safe low-RPM range

    I’ve recently switched my stock muffler for a set of Accufab x-pipes. I have mixed feelings about the sound. On one hand, I think they sound more like the GT should sound (aggressive, grumbly, etc.), but between 2,000 and 2,800 rpm there’s an unpleasant resonance. If I drive above 3,000 rpm...

    Rally IV & Rice University

    My son Kevin is thinking of applying to Rice University, so we thought we would add a day to our Rally IV trip and drive out to Houston to see it. He's interested in getting a degree in architecture. Does anybody on the forum have any tips on what to see while we’re at Rice? Inside...

    Rally IV - East Coast Trailer

    I've contacted Plycar about transporting GTs from the North East to Rally IV. They did a good job last year getting our cars to Rally III. Anybody from the north east who is interested in getting on a truck can let me know and I'll coordinate with Plycar. I don't have any prices yet, I'm...

    What do Thomas Jefferson, US Currency and the GT have in common?

    I was fumbling with some change at a toll booth and dropped a nickel. It’s a perfect fit in the seat holes. I can’t even get an x-acto knife in there to pry it out. Does anybody have any suggestions? Do the plastic rings pop out?

    Eagles 3, Crows 0

    I got this from my father today. No idea if it's true, but it's a good story. --------------------------- From a fighter pilot friend I got this from a friend who runs a 2000 acre corn farm up around Barron WI, not far from Oshkosh. He used to fly F4Es and F-16s for the Guard and...

    Bumper delete & exhaust options

    I want to do a bumper delete and exhaust modification. I like the GT Guys GTG bumper delete kit, partially because I don’t have to paint it to match my car and partially because it looks like it will improve air flow through the engine compartment. http://www.thegtguy.com/custommods.aspx...

    Heal-toe help

    I’m trying to learn heal-toe shifting and have some GT-specific questions. My car is stock (OEM brake pads, original tires, no engine mods, etc.) 1. Is there anything that should be done with the brakes (e.g. front/rear bias adjustment) that would make heal-toe more effective? 2. Are the...

    Concours d'elagance (Bethlehem, PA) May 29 - May 31

    Web site: http://www.concourseast.org/schedule.shtml I met a guy at the Philadelphia auto show who invited me and the GT to take part. I've never been to this one before, so I can't say too much about it except that it's mostly older vehicles. They've recently added exotics to the list as...
