    Actually not the first, early in the 2005 production a few cars had accidents when suspension failures surfaced and Ford grounded the cars till new parts were made.

    Hey, if anyone knows the guy, I would love like, a lug nut or something. Just so I can have a random useless part from one of them.

    Try your nearest Ford dealer , they can order just about anything on a new GT.

    But we are Dodge guys, we can't afford $50 for a new lug nut from the dealer.

    I can't speak for CSX375, but I probably resemble the heavier fellow in those commercials. But that Dart is sweet.

    I'm kind of neither, I'm 19. Yea, weird right, a college kid who knows that real cars run on gas, not rice.

    But sure, just buying the lug nut would be cool, but its never been driven. And If it has broken 65 mph, it was probably in the truck that took it to the dealership. Just not the same.

    That Dart is sweet though. What can I say, I am a sucker for beaters.

    Last week a local guy who had his red/white stripes GT for about a week, flipped over the guard rail on the I475/US23 exchange west of Toledo. I have not seen any pictures but the guy walked away. My friend who owns a towing company saw the car at another towing yard and said it was detroyed and you would not believe someone walked away form it.
