Sup guys,
I'm Chris, good friend of Nick's (Midnight11). We've known each other since 7th grade lol. Anywho, not a mustang owner, have high respects for them, especially the new 5.0s :D
Figured I'd join and help spread the word of the forum and bullshit with a bunch of car guys!
This is my 83 280zx turbo i've had for almost 5 years, and have the same problem you guys do which is investing in a rolling money pit lol.
