As if my luck couldn't even!

The compressor at Rock Auto is a FoMoCo unit and its around $279.xx new, some cheaper. Its not hard to replace yourself, if its an auto, you will have to take out from the bottom and it will require you to remove the stabilizer bar to get it out. The reason for this is the auto tranny cooling hoses have to be removed to take it out from the top. I did it in my garage on my GT in a few hours. Then just pull a vac and refill with freon.

You didn't change anything else? mine started groaning with engine rpm, then quit on me. I asume you have to replace the dryer and orifice tube and stuff along with it right?

Man, I feel for you with how accident prone this car has been over the last year, but, perhaps a little of that is self-induced. That car is parked at the end of a driveway right where someone backing out would have to really pay attention not to hit it. Not a good place to park a car that you care about.

Our neighborhood has wide streets with all of the driveways 2 cars wide, but I hate it when the people across the street park that way. It isn't too hard to get the front drive cars out, but backing the '92 F150 out when the driveway is full is a biatch!

I agree it's not a good place to park. I never park any of my cars in that spot. The mustangs and the ranger are always in the driveway. The only reason the car was there was so I could get the Buick out of the garage. I parked the car on the street, walked back up to the house to pull the Buick out and in that short time is when the kid backed his little focus strait into my car. It wasn't even there for 5 minutes.
Now when I need to get the Buick out I move the mustang to the front yard. The only vehicle I have on the street is the van, because go ahead and hit it! Ironically its the only car I own that's never been hit.

but to continue my luck, my AC compressor went out last week. lol, I seriously thought about trading this thing in recently. I like driving it, but man everything has gone wrong! we've got 70k miles on the grey 15 GT and have had zero mechanical issues. this one doesn't even have 50k on it and now the AC is out. FML

I may just go back to driving the damn van! Also been impossible to keep it clean lately with the weather and all the construction in Denton. I hope to have time to wash it soon. Then there's the $1k it's going to cost me to get the AC fixed.

oh well, it's still a neat looking car. I'm going to try and repair the front bumper myself soon, if it works cool, if not I will just buy a new one and have it painted. I've also thought about having it wrapped or dipped. I'd like a flat white purl or something on it. Something to protect the paint with all this construction. My buddy just ordered a plasti dip car sprayer kit. We are going to play with it at my place because he doesn't have a garage. We shall see.

What kinda camera do you have and how well does it do at night? I may need to invest in one or two.

Good grief yall. I *wanted* a mustang for a bit, but yalls luck has made me rethink that.

If I wasn't already paying for a new truck, I would get a 19 GT and throw. Whipple on it.

It ain't the car, it just this dude has bad luck.

I had my '12 5.0 for 8 years and not a single incident until I ran over a road gator in November and it did minimal damage, a $115.00 lower air deflector. Our '17 white Mustang has had zero issues either.

So magnetic in fact, that since posting in this thread I backed mine into the X4, doing similar damage as above, but to the rear quarter. Nothing to do but laugh...

That was a classic case of that, "car wasn't there a few minutes ago".

I parked behind my Grandma's car when I was 16. She backed out into and then proceeded to whoop my ass for parking behind her.

"Tyrone, what have you done?"
"Yea Tyrone, what HAVE you done?"
"You know when you go in reverse, things come from behind."

It wahs a funny Ahngle.
