The only thing that I can see under the hood that has been replaced is the radiator.

That's fixed already. RA got it here in 15 hours! They actually had the parts dropped off before they even sent the shipping notification. Huge PITA - there is absolutely no room for this kind of work in that area. Purrs like a kitten but then it did before and during this new issue, so I have no confidence anything has actually been repaired.

Man, what a night, my buddy and his wife are up for a few days with their 3 dogs.
His mom passed away and they're up for the funeral.
I decided to leave the Mustang out on the lawn so it would not be in the way in the driveway.
We had the 3 dogs and Mika socializing in the garage and catching up.
As we are catching up, we hear an accident out front.
Someone in an Audi jumped the curb and smoked my neighbor's mailbox and my mailbox.
Then they crossed all 4 lanes jumped that curb took out part of a fence and almost jumped the creek.......almost.












I got lucky the Mustang did not take any damage, but the Burb got hit with flying debris.
Looks like I will be shopping for a new mailbox tomorrow.

Dam Phil, that could have been so much worse for everybody looking at the pictures and video, they were very lucky to get away with not hitting anyone/anything else on the wild ride they must have taken

That mustang is lovely, would have been tempted to have it and bring it over here but I've only recently bought a new daily driver (2019 Nissan Leaf - don't shoot me...) so funds are a bit limited now...

Wow... that could've been much worse. I'm glad you came out relatively unscathed.

Is the plate on the Audi a New York plate?

A friend of mine bought a Fox a couple months ago... he put some "upgraded" parts that he bought on the local Mustang FB page. He bought an Accel coil, and everyone is telling him to use a stock coil, LOL. Looks like they're reputation extends beyond the F150 community

LOL, I wouldn't use any of those he tested. Way too shaky.

6T the only way to go imo...not too big, work well under cars too.
