I disconnected the battery "-" cable for over an hour and a half, then tried to start the car again and eureka it worked. all I was getting was a puny 'click' sound from under the hood, and was almost sure that it was going to be an alternator or solenoid thing in a barely over three year old car, but it was something electrical / computer related instead. that's the first time I've tried the go-to 'disconnect the battery and wait' ploy. hopefully this won't become a reoccurring incident.

i like my woofers under the seat at 9 for the bass. what a perfect place to put the subwoofers. one of the reasons i bought a stinger. i also have a youtubemusic sub. just fyi, i think it sounds better using a usb cord to your phone instead of bluetooth. oh, and go into your youtubemusic settings, and its somewhere in one of the menus "Quality on Mobile network" and Quality on WIFI network", i set mine to High.

Picked up a used set of OEM 19s and Michelin PS4s to run in summer months. Got them on the car today, going to keep the 18s for winter. Love how good the car looks on 19s, even though the tire diameter is the same they just seem to visually fill out the wheel wells more. Before and after:

Do I spy a Mercury Cougar? I almost never see those. Obviously they play second fiddle to the Mustang.

Yep that's my garage queen Not as quick as the Stinger but a fun cruiser.

I love that car. as a teen it was always one that caught my attention, precious few cars did that. I looked recently, very casually, into getting one for $18,000. but they didn't respond to my reaching out, so I presume it was already sold.

Finally got me some mats...

coincidentally, I put brand new kia all-weather rubber mats into my gt1 and switched out the carpet mats in the premium (my wife's car) with my slightly worn rubber mats that I already had in the gt1. after well over four years of use and almost 50,000 miles, the only worn spot on them is under my heel, about half worn down. they should last for the duration of the premium as she doesn't drive much and I will continue doing most of my driving in the gt1.

I assume so mate i was annoyed enough that i had to pay $150 for something that should have come standard on a $71000 car !!

That's awesome - I like it a lot!

I took this pic a few years ago at a US car show here in Australia - this is a 1970.
