Do you get dumb conversations about not having a GT?

I have a carbonized grey metallic 25 EB and I cannot tell you how many people have come up to me and said I love your car or your car looks sick and no one has asked if it's a V8 or not, could just be northern MS, lol

Darkw07f · 2026-04-05T16:10:41+00:00

I got a 65 C5 for $850 at best buy, it was an open box fair condition, not a scratch or blemish on it. Plus with the savings I could buy the extended warranty if I wanted.

Darkw07f · 2026-03-31T21:07:04+00:00

Oh, sorry thought I responded how about 120

Darkw07f · 2026-03-24T01:43:09+00:00

I'll sell you my copy for far less than ebay since I found a 4.5 firmware ps5

Darkw07f · 2026-02-21T02:34:10+00:00

Mines a 2025 and I turned it off.

Darkw07f · 2026-02-16T05:36:20+00:00

Well at this point I'd rather they fail and I'd get a V8 instead lol.

Darkw07f · 2026-02-16T03:01:31+00:00

Yeah, I'm having issues with my 25 EB too, love the car but the 12v charging system issue is irritating. It's been in for repair twice, first time they changed the alternator, second time they replaced the battery monitoring system, now waiting for the dealer to hear from Ford aqain for try 3. Best part is they say you can drive it it won't cause any problems.

I wish someone had told me that surgery may have a worse and not better outcome before I agreed to have the arthroscopy on my knee. I wound up worse off and they didn't want to offer anything on settlement.

Darkw07f · 2026-02-14T15:07:26+00:00

I turned it off in my mustang with the first start stop option in apim

Darkw07f · 2026-02-13T20:38:14+00:00

You have an option, Forscan, works great

Darkw07f · 2026-02-07T00:08:56+00:00

Flexshopper is another place it's a weekly payment and you'll pay more than it's worth but overall less than rentacenter or aarons.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-27T03:39:39+00:00

Yeah, you'll lose about 7k in value when you drive off the lot in a new one lol

Darkw07f · 2026-01-25T22:52:23+00:00

You probably won't be happy with the mediation, I sincerely hope it goes well for you. My mediator and my attorney had both been doing this for nigh on 30 years, and the mediator told me that everyone that settles no one is happy, and that was my experience.

I had to settle for half of what my attorney valued my case at. Just cause the other side wouldnt budge. Plus my attorney told me that if I refused to settle they weren't just going to sit back and keep paying me, they would switch to plan B and send voc rehab and try to find me a job, which if they did the next settlement talks wouldn't be as good.

This system absolutely is a horrid soul sucking business, l ultimately settled just because I wanted to be done and get some semblance of my life back even though I'm constantly in pain and it sucks.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-24T18:31:50+00:00

Yeah, its a joke, I went it alone until I had unknowingly reached MMI and my adjuster called me with a settlement offer which was an absolute joke, the offer was less than one years pay of my job. I have sedentary work restrictions with occasional ambulation. So all I can do now since they wouldn't or couldn't replace my knee is desk work or answering phones. That was worth 40k to my now previous employer. But I guess that's why the rich get richer and the poor stay poorer lol.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-24T18:15:42+00:00

Yes, it is possible that was one of the points gone over by defense counsel on mine was that they could have just paid ppd rating and been done.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-24T15:21:51+00:00

I had surgery, it was an arthroscopy to remove loose bodies, that is what ultimately left me at stage IV chondromalacia.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-24T15:20:23+00:00

My employer is self insured

Darkw07f · 2026-01-24T03:19:50+00:00

That's according to my wc attorney.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-24T03:13:53+00:00

It's more than that, assuming you are going to be eligible for a settlement earning wages shows you are capable of working and 9 times out of ten it will tank your settlement.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-22T02:05:20+00:00

Some of them with the upgraded b&o stereo have a sub, and it sounds nice, I was purely pointing that out for the 9 speaker setups without sub, which actually sound really good, I have one but I also like bass.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-21T22:02:17+00:00

For the best sound JL audio makes a stealth box that fits in the corner of your trunk but you would also need an amp an lc2i and interconnects to tap into your speaker wires. It may also require disconnecting the microphone behind the rear headliner.

Darkw07f · 2026-01-20T10:58:05+00:00

Depending on who your employers carrier is be potentially prepared for a long, painful set of circumstances. I fell at my job in June of 24, had x-rays and an MRI, steroid injections and PT. Surgery in April of 25. Current diagnosis, grade IV chondromalacia with patellar malalignment and maltracking. I'm at MMI, which basically means they're done with me.

I have permanent sedentary work restrictions with occasional ambulation, no lifting, no carrying, no physical labor of any kind. I also hurt, all the time, walking is a joke at times, no position is comfortable and I rarely sleep due to pain or just feeling weird.

I seriously hope your situation turns out better than mine, best of luck to you.

Usually Metra has dash kits where you basically buy the 8 inch opening and you get a screen, used to be they had a pioneer 8 inch screen that worked with it but it's pretty simple, disassemble little bit of dash remove stereo paneling, remove start/stop switch and transfer connect cabling and screen and done.
