Had been missing the Mustang ever since I sold my '01 GT 'vert (about 2 years ago) when I bought my Cobra. So... started the search for a new 'stang earlier this year. Finally found one I liked... '05 GT 'vert, 22,000 miles, 5-speed manual, Torch red, black leather (& top), Shaker1000 audio...

... and look what I come home with. It MUST be mid-life crisis time... engine is an all-aluminum windsor stroker, punched out to 427 cubes. Puts out over 600 hp/tq at the crank... in a 2200 pound car. Yea, it's insane...

Has anyone used the inline water filtration cartridges? (i.e. those on Autogeek) I've been "getting by" using the Mr. Clean Auto-dry, but the filter refills are getting harder & harder to find. Am thinking it's time to step up to the next level. Am not quite ready yet to install a...

do they serve any functional purpose (i.e. increased lighting distance or reduced glare to oncoming drivers) or is it just a cosmetic/styling thang ? seems like it's the new hot trend...

those of you who are proficient in photography... am I correct in assuming a polarizing filter should only be used during the day in direct sunlight? Took a few evening shots of the ride (just playing around) & got a LOT of flare/hazing. Is this a result of the filter? Should I have tried...

last weekend I worked over my '04 Saturn Vue... washed, clayed, ScratchX on heavy scratches, then Speed Glaze over entire vehicle, followed by 2 coats of NXT. Looked great. Thought I'd try topping the NXT with Natty's Blue. The Natty's went on fine, but OH did I have a time removing it...

... some shots from the annual "Concours on Rodeo"... is held every year on Father's Day. Was a bit smaller this year & less variety, but good nonetheless. Usually, these events are TERRIBLE for trying to get photos, but was better this year except for the ropes (& occasional passerby) getting...

Some of you may have seen my none-too-brief venting after my car got sideswiped while parked on the street. Finally got around to assessing & addressing the damage. I guess most people would say the "damage" was inconsequential. As for me, you'd think someone ran over my dog. Had a REAL bad...

last weekend, a car sideswiped mine while parked. Looks like their mirror scraped along the drivers door about 12" & across the fender blister about 12", as well as some scuffing on the lower fender & scraping on the wheel. Am hoping I can gently work the damage out. I thought I'd start...

sometimes, it just DOESN'T pay to leave the house! Went to an obscure store in Hollywood this morning to track down some unique, natural (rubber) linoleum flooring to do a custom/inlaid install in the kitchen. I parallel parked out in front, taking the last spot before the light- no one to...

Have tried RaggTopp cleaner... couldn't really tell any difference. Most of the stains appear to be from where dirt got ground into the folds when the top was down (previous owner, NOT ME!) Have also tried Meguiar's Vinyl (marine) cleaner... a little better But I still have some stains...

Greetings all... perpetual amateur detailer here. Guess it's in my blood. My grandfather has always been hyper-particular about his cars (he always had a "sunday" car that never got dirty). My father owned a body shop til I was about 6 or 7 years old, so he'd spend a week cleaning &...
