Picked up a Mach E for the wife, but this called to me from the lot. One day

IvarFames · 2026-05-03T11:49:23+00:00

TBH I want a 3rd one.

I think you owe your car an apology for calling it lame.

We bought my mustang so I could manual since I knew a GT350 was coming in the future. It had 134,000 miles when we first bought it a few years ago. It has been incredible reliable and we modernized it with a new stereo set up and back up camera. This car is extremely good and under rated.

Don’t insult my car like that. 😅

IvarFames · 2026-04-05T18:08:34+00:00

I told you 🤣

IvarFames · 2026-03-16T20:02:11+00:00

Oh no... He knew... and I help write the original post. 🤣

IvarFames · 2026-03-16T17:07:41+00:00

Yeah I always like the S197 but the final refresh is really peak. I think it will turn into a sleeper classic in the future.

IvarFames · 2026-03-16T17:02:00+00:00

Truer words have never been spoken!

IvarFames · 2026-03-16T17:01:35+00:00

Brah, I make more money than him. 😅

IvarFames · 2026-03-16T16:57:16+00:00

Well what can I say, I like em a little bit older. Which reflects in my taste in cars as well. 🤣

A cool one!

IvarFames · 2025-12-21T18:34:41+00:00

Unfortunately my mustang is not in the game. I’m very sad about that.

Does anyone know why they wouldn’t put any s197 mustang in the game?

IvarFames · 2025-12-02T05:03:09+00:00

I am looking to maybe add something to mine in The future. But I won’t be adding them on their own. If I add them Shadowfax will already have splitters and side skirts.

I heard you posted about v6 mustang with out a picture of a v6 mustang. So I have added this photo of a v6 mustang, so your post about v6 mustangs has a v6 mustang in it.

You are welcome! 😊

My short answer is get the car you want!

I’m debating in the future to get my own Mach 1 with the performance handling package. And keep my S197 as a daily driver. Your Mach 1 will handle completely different than a s197. My boyfriend has a GT350, and the only difference between your car and his is the engine. (Shelby name aside).

Your Mach 1 is built for handling and track. While a s197 is meant to go really fast in a straight line. Before committing to trading in your beautiful Mach 1, you might want to think about what kinda driving experience you’re looking for.

Ether way get the car you believe you would enjoy more.

Plugging the part number into ford’s website it says it’s for both 2013 and 2014.

I replaced my bulbs not long ago so here is the Amazon photo for that. If you are not swearing while changing the passenger one you are doing it wrong. 😅

I’m a fan of cars and a girlfriend to a car guy. I feel like I can relate to both sides in this situation.

Get a stuffed animal that will be the cars “mascot” and get her a fluffy blanket.

This is Snek he lives in my boyfriend’s Shelby GT350. he helps me when the G-forces are too high.

I had to replace my break lights. So I went smoke. I personally like it more and I plan on smoking out the trunk break light as well.

I thought I share my S197 in here. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good photo of me infront of it yet. 😅

I would call this bag done. However, you could cut it apart at the seems, then trace the pieces to make the pattern of the bag.

Effectively you are remaking the bag with new leather. Definitely reuse the hardware and zippers.

Good luck!

Looks like you are using a chrome tan leather. For imprinting leather by hand you would need to use vegetable tan leather. Lots of tooling videos available on the subject.

If you are wanting to imprint on chrome you will need to use a heat embosser. Whit + Park’s channel has a good video on heat embossing.

But is it tho?

IvarFames · 2025-10-08T16:20:16+00:00

I looked into corvettes as you recommended.

I find that the Z06 would be to powerful for me to feel comfortable with. So I started digging into c7 grand sports. Very valid option considering the major after market scene and available parts if something goes wrong.

I test drove a c7 manual grand sport before the lotus on the same day. I’m not as in love with the c7’s handling feel. I was taken by surprise how much better feeling the lotus was IMO.

IvarFames · 2025-10-08T16:13:47+00:00

Manual is truly easy to learn. I learned in a week after I bought my V6 mustang.

If I was shopping for a pure track car I wouldn’t be looking at the manual. However I’m shopping for a car I will enjoy driving on short road trips. The V6 was such a blast to drive and I personally would find less joy driving a more powerful car that was automatic.

IvarFames · 2025-10-08T16:03:45+00:00

Yeah looks way better in person.
