2013 Fr-s at 36k miles!
 
Have not been around in a while and not done anything it seems. Pandemic cut down on the miles and no fun.

Swapped the thermostat after 130 year record lows . And got new tires today for Oklahoma weather.

Got the Michilen Pilot Sport A/S 3+, which are on backorder so cost me $40 extra for shipping.

Did the normal Motul for the trans and diff. Trans acts the same but not driven it much really. And replaced the thermostat that was stuck open for the Oklahoma winter that happened.

Tracking for the tires is pretty awesome so far but just a few miles on them. Planning on taking it fishing to the Whichta mountains before it turns into hell on earth haha.

Have not done the recall on the valve springs. If I do I want to just pull the engine and get one with better rods and do the supercharger kit.

I have a 64 Galaxie I need to get rid of before other projects haha. Time to replace bushings they didn't replace in a frame off resto. Throwing money into a hole I think.

Throwing money into a hole can be fun if done right. The trick is to find other excuses to do it!

Forget about the valve spring recall. It was a hoax, don't research it, don't remember it. Don't acknowledge that it was ever mentioned. Don't engage in thought that involves your valvetrain.
Do not click on threads mentioning this sham, they are all clickbait. If you read some of the threads, please forget their contents.

Just enjoy your car :)

Never got to drive his. It was the top trim 500 XL two door hardtop.
Was probably the car that most influenced my love of them for the rest of my life.

That's the one!!! My grandparent's car was light blue inside, and if I remember correctly ( and I might not) with sort of tweedish cloth blue seats?
