Ouch. My company just had a 5% pay cut as well. Hope you work it out soon. It's tough out there.

So is the F&F worth seeing in the theaters or should I wait for it to come out on DVD for a rental ?


WalkerT, sorry to hear about the job. I hope you find a job soon. Hopefully the company gave you a good enough severance package.

Well I haven't cleaned the Z in a month... because I haven't driven it in a month.

I cleaned it up really well before I parked it in the garage and now it just has dust on it. What's the best "duster" or method of removing dust without having to wash it all over again?

California Car Duster:
http://www.calcarduster.com/originalDuster.asp

You can find one at your local Wal-Mart for less than $10, I believe. I used to use mine all the time when I used to clean my car religiously. Not so much anymore, though. Just be sure to follow directions before use.

Do NOT use the california car duster. I know how ****/ocd you are Eric (cause I am the same way). Don't use the california car duster. Since you park it so much. Look towards purchasing a car cover (to put on right after you wash the car). If the dust is not that bad, air compress it off, and then use quick detailer + plenty of clean mf towels.

But in reality. If the car isn't that dirty and its mainly dusty. Cleaning it should be a breeze. Probably hardly even have to wipe, if not any at all. You can purchase a Foam Gun that would would just to wash the dust off and dry without any actually cleaning.

Hey guys. I live over in Shreveport (originally from near New Orleans) & figured I'd drop in & say hello.

I saw the thread for the meet on 4/11. I'll be in Dallas, but without the Z (bent rod = new motor going in).

Judging by your avatar picture, I'm assuming yours was from something a lot more interesting than "probably sucked up water."

I was debating whether to buy a built motor from IPP, but I decided to just go with an OEM replacement.

Stock, no. Like anything else, they can be when modded.

If you want to **** a driver, as him about his Mustang 4.9 (Ford rounded up).

There's no such thing as a fast mustang.

They've always been underpowered. Now if you mod the hell out of them or drop in a better engine they can be fast. Then there's the 03-04 Cobra, but that of course isn't what you're asking about.

To answer your question with the assumption that others have taken about it being stock or close to it... NO.

What's wrong with the California Car Duster? This has been debated millions of times on this forum alone, and a billion times on autopia. Most will agree that it does NOT leave any residue nor scratch anything. Car covers are worse. Can you magically lift up the cover? No, so when you take it off, you're scratching the surface. Can you magically let the cover settle onto the car? No, so when you put it on, you're scratching the surface. Realistically, we have a 350Z, so microscratches won't do a damn thing to lower the value of the car. And if it does develop trillions upon trillions of scratches, then do the right thing and do a proper detail job.

And Mustang 5.0s are pretty fast for what they are. They're pretty light and they can be modded to be very fast.
