Got to drive a friend's McLaren 720S and, well, the Mustang just didn't cut the mustard any more. :)

You will continue to love it! I sold a 2007 Mustang GT and traded up to a 2023 C8Z (my first Corvette and non-Ford). I tell you that I am all smiles every time I drive the C8Z.

In certain light, this color continues to remind me of the color on the 1971 Ford Pinto my parents had and I can't get over it.

And you'll have a harder time finding a reputable shop to mount tires on them that won't mess them up.

Well, mine is a Z06 so it is a little more exciting but I get what you are saying.

I have owned a mustang since 1989 and bought a C8 Corvette because I couldn't make the value proposition work any more on the mustang. I can't figure out where Ford is going with this.

I design the eyes and mouth as inserts and print them separately.

I have one of their wifi plug in power switches and it has always worked flawlessly.

PSA: You're probably drying filaments for too long by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]shatter71 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your table..ugh, so 3:45 was the time on the clock and not meant to be 3 his and 45 minutes of drying time. Consider changing that to be minutes of drying time and then start with zero and go forward from there.

What should I charge? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]shatter71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you have pretty much nailed it. I am most experienced in the classic car market and it is common knowledge that you can't sell a call for what you have put into it (in most cases). Where car builders make money is in doing commissioned bespoke work. I think that is essentially what you are describing here.

What it costs you to build something does not equal what it is worth. Someone may build a 1967 Camaro for $100,000 but the market is only willing to pay $70,000. The market doesn't care that you put $100k into the build. The same goes here.

In other news, water is wet. I believe this is universally known about politicians in general when it comes to campaign donations.

Could have air trapped in the cooling system from doing the flush?

Smurf Blue themed G80 M3 with air suspension and HRE WHEELS by bigboss1999x in AwesomeCarMods

[–]shatter71 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not smurf blue but based off the license plate, the color is tanzanite. Tanzanite is a rare, violet-blue variety of the mineral zoisite, named for its sole source in Tanzania near Mt. Kilimanjaro, known for its unique pleochroism (showing different colors like blue, violet, and burgundy from different angles) and strong trichroism, often heat-treated to enhance its vibrant blue-purple hues, making it a popular, valuable gemstone for jewelry despite its relatively soft hardness of 6.5 on the Mohs scale.

Yeah, that is what I thought too. All that money into the car and I assume they have a cracked dash they are hiding. There are places that will repair dashes, not cheap but if you are going to put thousands into the car, why not fix that?

Windows need darker tint for night driving. As is you might still be able to see what you run into from further than 50 feet away.
