just for the hell of it, snap a pic, and post it. usually we can give you an idea of any possible alignment issues just from seeing the wear pattern.

 also, if you had her aligned by a chain type of shop......go find a mom and pop shop, and have them check it. there's a few things that they'll know that the monkeys at the chain types don't.

you're too dang far away  :bhead and my mech doesn't do alignments ;)

I'll get a pic when it stops raining

Funny stuff Cap :)

2005 Mustang here.  107k miles.

So far, I have replaced the stepper motors in the instrument cluster.  $360.00 from the shop, not going to happen, so I ordered the parts and re-soldered the board myself.  $14.00

Brake pads at 60k, probably getting close to needing them again.

Coolant recovery tank split, composite job, $45.00

Thermostat housing, another composite job, $25.00

Third set of tires on it.

That's it.  Nothing else has so much as burped on that car.  Oil Changes and Gas, that's it.

I own this mustang, Toyota Camry, Porsche Boxster and a van for vacations.  I drive the mustang nearly exclusively.  Porsche is not exactly comfortable for me, wife likes it better, she comes in at 5' tall and the car's just a bit small to me.  Great car, love it, but simply prefer the stang.

If I drove up there between you, Von Messa, Ink, etc I'm not sure I'd make it home and I think the dogs would miss me.  But the stories would be legendary someday.

I don't have anything against mustangs but in my mind the 2010 Camaro is a better looking car.

Here is mine on a driveway with a Ferrari 430 and an Aston Martin DB9.  

It doesn't look too out of place.

Yea, both the Ferrari and the Aston look 1,000% better with the tops down.

I don't have a shot of the DB9 with it down at the office, but this is what the Ferrari looks like:



Frankly I HATE rag tops.  They can make any nice car look like sh*t

im happy you got the 430 in red. i swear ferraris are the only car that looks good in red. even your camaro in my opinion would seem better in a dark blue or black over the red. but my opinion only <S>

The DB9 we have at work has the sequential manual tranny and a supercharger.
