Default Need Help...

Just bought my wife a new Mustang GT Convertible (a Corvette was not for her, and no I did not trade mine in)....

I am looking for a good, respectable Mustang forum to join (I know - Let the jokes begin )

I am also looking for someone that does hugh discounts on Ford's ESP (extended) warranties, like Mr. Fichtner does with us on our Corvettes.

I trust my C6 buddies, so any helpful suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated...

Thanks
John

I was thinking the same thing recently. If you find this out please PM me. My wife's Escape will be coming up on three years old and I was thinking of an extended warranty for it.

I saw a post on StangNet from a supporting vendor ("Sponsor") offering a good deal on an extended warranty. I remember thinking, it's good there's a ford dealer like Fichtner.

But this was maybe a year or so ago, probably on an unrelated thread. I did a quick search but came up empty.

Anyway, only one StangNet Sponsor is a ford dealer. I have no personal experience with them, but that's were I'd start a search for best prices: http://www.anderson-ford.com/index.htm

How about a 400 hp dual-engine Yugo?



Apparently, this is real... although, I think the radiator mounted inside is a little iffy.

They did a fantastic job with the gadgets inside the vehicle. The Navigation System with the Sync System is amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love my Corvette, but this Sync System blows away anything Corvette has.

I had an 05 GT. Ford has come a long way and GM could stand to look at what they are doing.

Trust me... I was surprised, especially when I heard the Sync System was developed by Microsoft... I figured it would have all sorts of bugs...

sorry bro, but it DOES have all sorts of bugs

my dd is an MKS and that Sync system is sweet to show off to friends... when it works. More often than not it will disappoint you and leave your friends muttering "ford" under their breath.

Again, being developed by Microsoft, it does not surprise me. However, I have only played with the system for the past two days. Hopefully, I won't find those bugs...

Personal Experience? Oh, ok, sorry, I don't do Mustangs, let me go ask my wife which Mustang forums all her Girlfriends hang out on.
