I hit a rear ended lady going 4mph in a roundabout stop about 2 days ago. She stopped and so did I but I didn’t stop in time. Is it totaled?💔 The bumper randomly gave up just now.
luckily I have full coverage insurance but I’m definitely not paying a 1,000 deductible to fix this; I’ll be taking the car to a local shop near me.

Thinking about doing a trip from New Jersey to Orlando Florida. Wanted to see if anybody has done long trips on theirs and anything I should be doing ahead of time (besides basic maintenance) or things I should be aware of before hand. I have a 2023 Eco

Found a 2020 turbocharged ecoboost with 45.5k miles priced at $23k. No real issues besides some cosmetic things. Dealership is likely replacing battery and tires. Final deal out the door was $469 for 60 months and that includes a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty

I’m in a 2024 RAV4 hybrid XSE with payment of $670. Biggest thing was trying to get a cheaper payment but also having something reliable.

The cost of the mustang with insurance is just under what my car payment is now. I have until the morning to lock in the deal.

Edit: my RAV4 is leased right now with about a year left. I’ve only got 3-4k equity in it and it’s got at least 31k for the dealer payoff. It only has 20k miles so it’ll be easier and more likely to leave me with positive equity if I sell sooner but I can only sell to Toyota dealerships due to lease terms

I’ve always loved the Fabulous Hudson Hornet and wanted one as a dream car someday, especially painted in the iconic Doc Hudson livery. Since realistically owning a real Hudson probably isn’t in the cards, I started wondering what a modern tribute to that idea would look like on a Mustang, which is a car I already love and want to own long term.

The goal wasn’t to make a cartoon replica or meme build, but something that felt like a believable modern stock-car-inspired Mustang while still honoring the original Fabulous Hudson Hornet style. I know the renders aren’t perfect, but they helped me get the overall vision across.

I know themed builds aren’t for everyone, and I’m totally open to critiques and suggestions. Ideally it would be a manual 5.0 to capture the sound and presence of the Hudson Hornet, but the EcoBoost honestly fits the underdog story of the Hudson Hornet a little better. Curious to see what people think.

Hey y’all so got my first check engine light (non-flashing yellow) on my 2018 ecoboost. 70500 miles. Looking to see if this sound is weird or indicative of a specific issue. It drives as it should, no loss of power. Hoping it’s purge valve or something small because I do have the rough idle after I fill up.

Taking it in for regular oil change and maintenance on 5/5, you think I am good to drive it until then? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Got OBD2 scan for code (P0148)

Finally Upgraded

No longer have the 4inch calculator screen! It took me about 6 hours to install the first time with help from my dad and little sister(her small hands came in handy).

We eventually got everything put back together after midnight. The AM/FM radio barely comes in, but I honestly never listen to am/fm so it didn’t bother me.

The next day I went out to my car to test out all the new features and get a feel for it, just to realize that my microphone wasn’t working. I unfortunately had to redo almost everything start to finish just to push the audio jack cable in a centimeter. Since I already had everything out I took another shot at the radio signal, but it changed nothing.

I’m sure I did something wrong and it can be fixed, but everything else works perfectly. Steering wheel buttons, climate controls, and charging ports. I am so glad I upgraded and I definitely recommend getting this upgrade.

Hey, I’m looking at buying a 2026 Mustang EcoBoost here in Ontario. The offer I got is $312 bi-weekly for 7 years at 2.49%. Just wondering if that sounds like a solid deal or if I’m overpaying at all?

I have seen many people asking what exhausts system they should get on an EcoBoost Mustang to make it sound more aggressive. When I was looking to buy an exhaust, I had a hard time finding good audios that are not posted by the sellers.

This exhaust is a MBRP Race: https://www.americanmuscle.com/mbrp-race-catback-blacktip-eco.html

Hope this helps anyone looking for an upgrade. I am sure there are better/louder sounding exhausts out there, but for what I paid for I am very happy with it.

I drive a Ford Mustang Ecoboost 2016 (170k km mileage) in South Korea.
Had some misfire issues (P0302), checked with ford dealership, confirmed coolant inside the cylinder.
Long story short, I am fixing it, will be replacing the head gasket.
Once fixed, is there anything i should be worrying about, or is there anything i can do to prevent this from happening again.
Experts, Please do let me know. I am just a noob in this field 🙂

First time owing a Mustang & I get it now. I’ve never enjoyed any car I’ve owned, like I do this one. After spending some time looking, we came across this 2024, certified new with only 1,500 miles on her. Out the door 33k. Going to put new wheels on her, but still deciding which I’d like better. Just wanted to share with the group 😁

its the mbrp muffler delete blk series, i personally think it sounds good but most people hate on how ecoboosts sound 🤷‍♂️

I barely had her a month. I was Doordashing and I exited the rear parking lot that had a narrow exit, with an approx 3ft tall bush I could see over. What I couldn't see was there was a 3" tubed mexicanass fence lower than the bush right out of my line of sight and I basically turned my fender into it. Heard the crunch and tried to reverse out.

I was looking at gt350 carbon fenders the night before, now I want them in blue candy coated like in the last image.

Anyone know where to get some cheap carbon fenders? any style except for GTD
