Adding a rear or chin spoiler is one of the necessary accessories for many drivers. What are the benefits? Some just prefer the look and consider it an extra dosage of muscle in the Pony. Of course, spoilers are “supposed” to add performance to the car, but whether or not any downforce is added is up for debate. Some pros say yes, some say no, so it’s up to what research strikes your fancy – but really, it’s what you think of the look.
One thing to consider is whether or not your specific model is “supposed” to have a spoiler. Some cars, like the 2008 Shelby GT, have ducktail spoilers made by Shelby for Shelby. Other models come straight from the manufacturer with a low wing rear spoiler. There are some enthusiasts who belong to the camp of believing only real Ford Mustang parts belong on these machines. On the other hand, there are others who enjoy thinking outside the box and are up for creating a one of a kind powerhouse with whatever spoiler floats their boat.
The Downside
Adding the “wrong” spoiler will not negatively impact the performance of a car. However, choosing to modify a Mustang with a spoiler obviously costs money. Prices of spoilers can range drastically, so it’s important to do a little research to find one that fits a budget. More importantly, adding a spoiler – especially one that is not made specifically for a particular Mustang model – might make a difference when (or if) it comes time to sell. Will the new owner be a fan of your choice?
What Some Fans Say
Regardless of what you believe, the “real” reason spoilers were born was to increase a car’s grip on the road. How much downforce a car has is extremely important in the racing world and most of the time the only thing keeping a Mustang on a track is the weight of the car. One way to help with grip is to increase the weight of the car – but that negatively impacts how a Pony performs in turns. Spoilers are basically upside down airplane wings that are meant to add grip without the added weight. Does it work? That’s up to you to decide.
Options Abound
So, you’ve decided a spoiler is a right option for you. Now comes the tough part – there are seemingly limitless spoilers out there. Cobra styles come with or without lights. Maybe you want to replace that factory low wing rear spoiler with an F-40 high wing spoiler with a red light. An AIT racing spoiler is a popular option for drivers looking to improve on the track. No matter what you decide, remember that spoilers require some serious changes to the car (like holes in the trunk), so choose wisely.
While drifting is currently an entire class of racing, movies have made most of us aware that it has it’s origins in illegal street racing. But did you know, before it was on the streets, it was actually on the racetrack?
Kunimitsu Takahashi
Born January 29, 1940, in Tokyo, Japan. His racing career lasted from 1958 to 1999. Nicknamed “Kuni-san“, he is known as the “father of drifting.” Lets explain why.
“Kuni-Sun” started out as a motorcycle racer in the 1950’s. Got a spot on the Honda Factory Team. His top award as a motorcyclist was becoming the first Japanese rider to win the German National Grand Prix in 1961.
In 1962 he attempted the Isle of Mann TT a time trial which builds its course out of closed streets. This course was well known to kill riders—150 and counting. Perhaps because it has 219 turns. An accident there cause him to rethink Motorcycles.
Nissan offered him a spot on its factory team so he made the switch to four wheels. There he set time track records in the Nissan R380, R381, and R382. However, his real reputation with fans came in a Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R. In the 1970s tire technology was far behind motor technology. No one could keep from spinning out. Kuni-San came from two-wheel racing and wasn’t afraid of sliding around a corner. So instead of jamming the breaks to take off speed before a turn and then trying to gain it back through acceleration, he just pointed his front wheels at the direction they needed to be when he exited the turn and waited for the tires to get the grip to bring him around. The result was a four-wheel slide.
Kuni-san Kuni-Sun would become widely popular for his driving which looked like he was completely out of control. His final victory as a driver in 1999 came at the age of 59 and he passed the 16th of March 2022 (aged 82).
Keiichi Tsuchiya
Born, 1956, Tomi Japan. Close to winding roads called “Touge.” Usui Pass was a popular “street race” spot—7.5 miles of winding bridges, tunnels, and drop-offs. The drivers who raced there were called “Hashiriya.”
While Keiichi is known as the creator of Drift Racing he credits a race driver called Kunimitsu Takahashi with giving him the idea. Because Keiichiya once rode his motorcyle over 100 miles to see Kuni-San race and fell in love the idea of powersliding around corners.
Keiichi could tell there was a technique behind the seemingly wind driving. He saved up to buy a car so he could try sliding through the curves on the mountain roads near his town. In honor of Kumi-Sun’s popularity, Nisson released their KPGC110 car—this is one of the rarest cars Japan has ever made (only 191 ever made). Tsuchiya claims this was his first car. It’s more likely it was a Nissan Sunny B110. Keiichi spent four years practicing his technique on farmland on the weekends before taking his skills to the mountain. All that time he refused to compete, not wanting his competitive nature to push him into something foolish before he’d learned the skills.
When he started racing the mountain, Keiichi defeated all comers and was deemed “King of the Mountain.” With his reputation firmly established, in 1977 he made the leap to racetracks—where he started at the bottom—Fuji Freshman Racing Series.
Fuji Freshman Racing Series
In this league, you pay for everything yourself and everyone uses fun, inexpensive cars, typically Toyota Starlights and Nissan Sunnys, cars with less than 100 horsepower. Keiichi was able to get sponsors, but when he asked for enough money to buy a faster car they told him he needed to win the entire championship first. He did.
The 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS became his new ride and while it’s still not an exciting supercar, or even close to one, it became his home. This was the 1980’s and Toyota saw an opportunity to capitalize on the blurred line between road and track drifting offered. It helped them promote an affordable sports car when they weren’t known at the time for the power of their street cars.
Corolla AE86
Fuel economy was king in the 80’s and only luxury cars sold well while countering that trend. Economy sports cars were almost gone until the Miata brought it back. The only exception was the Corolla AE86. Toyota created two, nearly identical models, an affordable one that competed with the Honda Civic and other low HP front wheel drive economy cars, and another rear wheel drive 1.6L engine with racing suspension. Keiichi loved tight mountain roads where top end mattered less than technique. He was the perfect spokesperson for this strategy from Toyota. He traded turbochargers for responsive handling. This led to 6 championships in the Fuji Freshman Series against much more powerful cars.
Outlaw at Heart
With that much domination in his field and the heart of a street racer, Seiichi began to show off, which annoyed competitors and triggered an investigation for cheating. As his antics got bigger, officials threatened to take his license, but crowds loved him. They called him “Doriken,” or Drift King.
This inspired Option Magazine to send a film crew to follow him around for a few weeks and record Eiichi drifting on the mountain roads. This is crude film by today’s standards, and not well edited together but it captured the primal elegance of drifting. It also attracted the attention of Japanese authorities. Option Magazine released a film called “Pluspy” which gained a cult following.
Founding a Sport: Almost on Purpose
The more the government cracked down on Pluspy, the more it developed an underground following, which is the exact recipe for creating a sub-culture. Keiichi and Option Magazine started hosting racing meets (Ikaten) for drifting which allowed amateurs to try their skills on a real racecourse. While these meets were very tongue in cheek and not serious, the sport grew from there and leagues were finally born in Y2K, the D1GP.
Keiichi did continue to drive racing cars throughout the 80’s until he achieved a dream and became co-pilot of the man who had inspired him—Kumi-Sun. This was a winning dynamic duo and after they won a championship, Honda courted them for their new NSX GT2 car built special for the Le Mans. This NSX -R had been rebuilt to 400 horsepower. They won that Lamons, and began trying all kinds of racing in all sorts of cars, although none were seriously successful.
Back at Le Mans they took 2nd place. He continued to race inside Japan, ultimately retiring in 2003.
What made Keiichi so iconic and such a fan favorite was his use of drifting in races not designed for drifting and the way he showed off and pushed the limits. He also served as a stunt coordinator and stuntman on The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, where he also made a cameo appearance.
If you have been searching for a compact-size truck that functions like a full-size pickup, you should consider the 2024 Ford Maverik. This fuel-efficient truck is competitively priced, has plenty of interior storage, and overall is a highly impressive vehicle.
This latest model of the Ford Maverik is currently the most affordable vehicle offered by the Ford brand, with an average cost of $25,202. It is available in seven colors, three trims, and five packages for you to choose from.
While it may not be the same as the traditional pickup trucks most drivers are used to, the 2024 Maverik offers a reasonably sized truck bed and excellent towing capacity for a compact-sized truck.
What are the Pros and Cons of the 2024 Ford Maverik?
The pros and cons for the 2024 Ford Maverik are as follows:
Pros
Base versions have an affordable starting price.
Excellent fuel economy thanks to the hybrid powertrain.

Electric cars have become more common in recent years as more car manufacturers have made them available to customers, allowing drivers to have more affordable options when it comes to their daily commute. If you are considering buying an electric car in the future, you must understand just how long it takes to charge one of these vehicles.
The Charging Time for Electric Vehicles Can Vary
Because all makes and models of cars are different, there is no direct answer to how long it takes to charge a car. The exact charging time can depend on several factors, including the battery and the type of charger you are using. For the Volkswagen ID.5, which has an 82kWh battery, it can take between 30 minutes for a 150kW rapid charge and 22 hours for a 3.7kW slow charge. A fully charged battery for this vehicle could last up to 266 miles.
The 2022 Tesla Model S has a similar charging time to the Volkswagen ID.5. It features a 75kWh battery and can take between 30 minutes on a 150kW rapid charger and 21 hours on a 3.7kW slow charger. When fully charged, this vehicle will last for around 241 miles before being charged again.
*Range according to maunfacturers claims–not independently varified.
What’s the Difference Between Rapid Chargers and Home Charging Points?
A rapid electric car charger operates between 43 and 150kW. This is the fastest option if you are in a hurry to charge your vehicle. They are capable of charging most compatible vehicles within one hour or less.
Home charging points will usually operate on less power with a rating between 3.7kW and 7kW. These chargers will often take between 11 and 21 hours to fully charge most vehicles.
While rapid car chargers can be much more convenient, they are not compatible with all makes and models of electric vehicles. In most cases, all full-battery cars are compatible with rapid chargers however the majority of all plug-in hybrid vehicles are not compatible with these chargers and must be charged using a slower home charging point instead.
How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge an Electric Vehicle at a Charging Station?
Electric car batteries that are 60kWh can fully charge at a charging station in 30 minutes or less using a 150kW rapid charger. If you are using a public charger that is 7kW, it can take as long as 8 hours to fully charge your vehicle. Chargers that are 22kW can take less time, usually just 3 hours to fully charge your battery.
What About Top Up Charging?
Many owners of electric cars will plug their cars in to charge them whenever they are parked, whether overnight at home or while they are shopping. By topping up instead of fully charging your vehicle, you can be assured that your car is always ready to go.
To find out more about how long it takes a specific electric vehicle to fully charge, you can contact a dealership for the vehicle you are interested in.
Chips in your windshield can be more than a nuisance while driving. These small cracks or chips may not seem like a major issue, but they can become much larger over time. In some areas, it is illegal to drive a car with a cracked windshield, so it is important to get this problem taken care of as soon as possible to avoid further damage or any issues with the law.
Although it is not recommended to try to repair a chip or crack in your windshield that is larger than three inches in length, if the chip is smaller, such as the size of a quarter, it is possible to save yourself some time and money by doing the repairs yourself by using a DIY kit.
How to Choose a DIY Kit For Your Windshield Repair
When it comes to choosing a repair kit for your chipped windshield, there are several options out there for you to consider. You should compare the kits from different brands to find the best option that suits your needs. The kits are very similar; however, you can compare the overall quality of the kit by looking at the cost, expiration date, curing steps, and the chip size the kit is designed to fix.
If you purchase a kit that contains epoxy, keep in mind that it has an expiration date. So, you will want to use a kit that isn’t very old to ensure a strong adhesion. You should use a kit that has an expiration date of at least six months from the date of use.
While most DIY windshield repair kits are designed to be simple to use, some have complex curing steps to follow or may require the use of tools that are not included. Some may be designed for outdoor use only, so you do not want to repair your windshield inside your garage if that is the case.
How to Fix a Cracked or Chipped Windshield Using a DIY Kit
Generally, most DIY kits for chipped windshields will require you to clean the area that needs to be repaired first. You will want to remove any dirt that could cause imperfections in your glass. Once the area is clean, you’ll apply the patch and the pedestal. You’ll need to take the paper back off the patch, line it up with the crack or chip on the exterior of the windshield, and use the plastic pedestal to help with the application.
Finally, if the kit includes an epoxy resin solution, you will use a syringe to place it into the pedestal to help seal the crack. Then, use the included curing strip that comes with most kits as the final layer.
Remember, while these DIY kits are simple and easy to use on smaller cracks and chips in your windshield, it is advised that you should take your car to a professional if the chip is any larger than the size of a quarter to avoid causing any additional damage.
