    • I need to actually ride in your car, Danny. This thing is a Cadillac compared to the 99. Laid out some elevenses in my parking lot at lunch since my guys wanted a show. it's like 1998 all over again. DM-"Why does the parking lot of this store always look like a landing strip?"

      • Anytime.

        The stock GT suspension is absolute trash unless you put slicks on it and point it in a straight line. It's way too soft and tall, with no damping.

        I'm about 90% sure you'll end up with an Eibach Pro-Kit and Koni STR.Ts. Better get ready to spend the cash. It's a really nice combination that keeps a decent ride. You probably won't like my Sportlines and Tokicos. They're a little harsh over washboard roads.

        • I don't know if the Pro-Kit will deliver the aesthetics I want. I've had Sportlines a couple of times, but I was a lot younger and hadn't thrown my back out 18 times yet. The last set was right after I started having problems though. With the rest of the suspension updated out of the fox era it might not be so bad. It would probably still ride better that my 99 with stock springs and new shocks and struts and tires.

          • You might look into coilovers for it. You can change springs out rather cheaply and set the ride height too.

            • Too bad you cant play pandora on the charge port of the iphone. You have to use the audio jack and cant change channels with the steering wheel. Lol. Ive got sync in my 11 Fusion.

                I've never used Pandora so I have no idea, but can you stream it Bluetooth and use the steering wheel controls? I can with the Android Media Player. I use StreamFurious for "radio" stations, but they have no next/previous feature even on the phone app, so of course the steering wheel does not do jack shit.

                  This.

                  Hit me up if you would like to check out the ride in a s-197 with coilovers.

                    Red is nice on a car but not what I am going for. I saw that one on their website. I want a white, silver, or that dark grey color. I am also going to wait a few more months probably.

                    • This is typically the cheapest time of the year to buy. 14s will start rolling in in not too long. Everything finally lined up perfectly for me. Been waiting to buy the car until after I bought the house.

                        This. We have been holding things up making sure we can get in our new house. Probably going to have to pony up for a car soon for us too.

                          You get that all sorted out? I am finally feeling completely relieved. It took almost two years of rebuilding to get back to an even better spot than I was in 2005, but now it is paying off big. Glad I waited. Now: More vacations!

                            Everything got squared away. We ended up going 2 days past our scheduled close date and had everything lined up waiting. We got in on the 1st. Been going non-stop since. I just now got the garage to where the wife can park in it.

                            Doesn't help when you work from home and can't get Uverse to show up and install your internet. Not having a TV has been pleasantly easy to handle though.

                              You can, At least I could in my 2010 and in my truck... Usb, Play All, While it's playing a song just open Pandora and the phone will take over and play through and even display the song. To change the song just hit the next seek button. Not sure how Android likes it considering I just picked one up, but I'll try it out soon I'm sure.

                                Cool man, congratulations. Once you get settled you are going to love it.

                                Uverse as a service is decent and I almost never have problems. Any time I have to talk to someone with Uverse, however, I know I'm going to have to get 7 other people involved to fix however they screw up what is wrong even worse.
