Random thoughts for the day

Why there were ever quotas in the first place is confounding.  Muddies the waters where the mission of law enforcement is concerned.  Don't cops have enough to do without having to worry about something like this?
 
Note that the automatic transmission was dismissed in favor of a 6-speed, probably due to cost & reliability reasons.
 
Almost fainted when I saw a (rare sighting) Gen IV SHO (black, stock wheels) at the local farm.  Didn't get to know/chat with the owner tho :(  Need to keep some EBPF cards handy :D

No pics.......>:(
 
I know, right?  The SHO hadn't been cleaned recently, so I didn't want to (potentially) embarass the owner.  Plus there was enough foot & vehicular traffic keeping me distracted (late afternoon, plenty of tykes running about).

I feel your pain.
I got a small chip in the lower passenger side corner on my way back from vacation.  Definitely need to get that fixed before it cracks/spreads.
I think the rock bounced off the hood, I have a small scratch that lines right up with it. 

When you get your windshield replaced try to stay with the ford OEM sound screen glass.
I had a bad experience with guardian brand glass.

What happened???

Not sure.  When I washed the car the other day I found a chip at the very top Center.  But it had chipped out the top above the adhesive line.  This crack starts about 6 inches to the passenger side of that run down the windshield vertically about 8 inches then y's out across the glass :-(  no star or large chip that I could see.

The wife was driving it.  Parked it outside for a bit...couple hours I guess and when she came out there was this crack!? !?!?
 
I feel your pain!  I washed my 2013 SHO yesterday and when I was drying it I noticed the windshield was cracked. WTF?  It started at the top and spreads out kinda like an upside down Y pattern.  There are no chips in the glass like a stone hit it or anything like that.  Very strange???

Yeah last night we had an incredible storm. Managed to get some nice pictures. As for the 302 it took a very large shoe horn haha.
