  1. Age of Boss owners

    You guys are a bunch of young pups. I was 68 when I took delivery of my 2012 on 9/11/2012. Yup, I am an old, gray haired man driving a bad ass Mustang into the sunset (along with a 2007 Shelby GT/SC).
  2. Anyone else with Recaros have issues with them?

    The “ridge” on the driver’s side lost its loft and sort of folded. The dealer took photos and Ford replaced the bottom portion of the seat. It appeared that material under the cover (foam?) was the problem. The wife and I both agree that these are most comfortable seats we have done any long...
  3. Winter is coming

    I was always told that starting an engine that has been setting for weeks at a time just to warm it up is the best idea because unnecessary wear can occur. But in the long run it probably isn’t a major problem it's just something that I don’t do. I know there are different opinions regarding...
  4. Winter is coming

    I also do the battery tender thing, oil change, fuel stabilizer, full fuel tank, never dry start it but unlike drano I detail it and it is covered for the winter. I also cancel my insurance except for collision in case the shop burns down or some other disaster befalls me. The Mustangs live in...
  5. Garage setup for washing the Boss

    Wayne: My goodness you have been a busy boy- water heater, water softener, stereo system, and your BOSS BEER REFRIGERATOR. I think your pilot friend has been a really bad influence on you. Now you to have a multi-tool tractor to play with this winter. I do not have a water softener but I...
  6. winterizing our Boss: best way - your way

    Right now we have unseasonal temperatures in the upper Midwest but we all know what is coming down the pike. My cars get to rest during the winter in a heated shop, under a dust cover, with Stabil in a full tank and a battery tenders hooked up. Right or wrong I never start them until spring...

  8. Third Quarter Boss Sales

    Suprmn - Well, time is closing fast on SMR and I do not even have a VIN for my Boss yet. I have resigned myself that the car will not be here in time for Sturgis so I will be shining up the Shelby for the trip out west. If you have gotten your car let me know with a PM or a post.
  9. Third Quarter Boss Sales

    I have a third quarter car ordered in March and talked to the dealer today. He indicated all the info they have is a materials hold, which has been discussed here before, and according to their zone rep they build the cars according to when the car’s order was placed. Comments on this site do...
  10. Third Quarter Boss Sales

    Well the dealer I ordered the car was not very optimistic about me getting the car any sooner than September but he might have been giving himself some wiggle room so I would not be bugging him from July on. I am heading to Sturgis as well and certainly hope I am driving the Boss out there...
  11. Third Quarter Boss Sales

    I ordered my third quarter Boss on March 28, 2011. The color, which was a difficult decision for me, will be Race Red with black stripes. The car will have the Ricaro seats and Torsen differential. I have given instructions to the dealer not to drill any holes in the front fascia, save all...
