  1. Mustang II owners are tired of having the II slammed for not being desirable by 2012 standards. The '74 sold 365,000. When was the last time Mustang did that? It WAS the right car at the right time. If there were no II there would be no 2013 Mustang.
  2. I'm glad my mother-in-law drives a Toyota.
  3. My '74 Mustang II was doing the same thing. Came out of nowhere. Took it to the local Ford dealer, they looked at it, couldn't find anything wrong bit uou could hear it in their parking lot. A few days later I lubed the door hinges, had been a while. Noise was gone. Hasn't returned. Just the door riding up and down on the hinges as I drove over rough pavement.
  4. Since when is 25mph a "runaway" car? She may not have had brakes. That's like calling O.J.'s Bronco flight a "high-speed" chase. WTF is up with Californians????
  5. I rode in a Prius for the first time last year. Interior looked like a sub-economy car. Had a rattle, not sure where that was coming from.......and the owner loved it. Go figure.
  6. So I guess Bob King wants to finish Ford off like the UAW did to Chrysler and GM. Raise wages, benefits and expect the consumer to buy American assembled, American engineered vehicles that reflect the cost cutting of the past. Our greed and laziness put America in this position. We want simple answers, can you hear me Sarah? Easy jobs. Great benefits. Hell, we're entitled. Pick up a People, watch Entertainment Tonight, tell me what happened on Dancing with the Stars last night........but you can't find Iran on a map. Don't strain your brain. Do the least you have to. If Mulally hadn't taken the job Ford would have gone belly up just like the other two. Global economy. Get used to it. You still have jobs. And please, stop your cryin'. There are millions of Americans who can't afford groceries, gas, housing. And they never had a union they could begin to go crying to. You want a level playing field? Unionize Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes and the rest of them. Won't happen. OK, you can go back to crying about how Ford is screwing you, and make sure you see this week's Dancing!!!!!
  7. Hey, CAP, are you the one who needs a paint by number?
  8. uh........it's called sarcasm. The retarded can't change their situation but you don't have to be such an asshole.
  9. The car's on the showroom floor, wanted to see how good the Tuxedo Black was since it has glass in it. The paint's in a class all its own BUT there were metal shavings on the trunk lid (it was rough when I ran my hand over it) and there was a small gouge in the passenger's side C pillar. I expected more from Ford. I only buy Ford products. I don't even consider the competition. My Ranger has a better paint job. Give Twin Cities the Taurus, Taurus X, Sable, and MKS. Move the Ranger to Chicago. Twin Cities employees have proven themselves.
  10. Looked at a Tuxedo Black MKS at Boulevard Lincoln-Mercury in Georgetown, Delaware. Paint defects were too numerous to count. Looked like paint was applied over metal shavings. This wasn't even up to Ford Divison standards. Hope this one was just a fluke.
  11. Work with a woman who swears by Hondas. She didn't see any problem with the secret warranty they hid from her. Honda paid for the repairs only when they were caught. And she still swears by Honda. Her car is rusting out. Guess she thinks that's normal. After praising the Japanese she wonders why her son can't find a good paying job. Dumb, dumb, dumb. People like this vote???????????????
  12. Are you taking it back to the same dealer? I'd use another Ford dealer's service department. Ask around. Went through this with my '74 Mustang II. I changed dealers. Still driving that car but..........to hell with the first shop.
  13. I have an '02 XL. No problems. I'm glad Ford's considering leaving Twin Cities open. Had my body shop do a Victoria paint treatment, installed red line tires and aluminun 5-slot Ford wheels, dual exhaust (it's a 2.3) painted bumpers and grille to match the body then added Harley-Davidson stainless steel emblems. Awesome looking AND still get my 28 mpg average.
  14. I'd ask at a body shop. As for parts that are no longer available call Green Sales. Have the part numbers that you'll need (contact your L-M dealer for them). I'm getting trim items for my '74 from them. Service is great! Good luck.
