[SterlingStang]

Most MIL's need a chair twice as wide as that. lol

[re-rx7]

So true. I feel like this is gonna be a hot one. Although that 50+ days of 100 degree heat sucked as well a few years back. When it finally rained I remember everyone just basically sitting in it lol.

I wouldn't mind it so much if the summers didn't last so damn long here.

Amen to that!

and…

around 2 weeks until RR, and we are just now starting on my car this week lol

[Crimson600+HP]

After 4 years in dorms/apartments I had enough. Tired of living on the top floor, tired of no garage, tired of hearing everyones shit. As long as I can afford it, I will either rent/own a house. Congrats on that DirtyD!

Fabbing up my radiator supports so the CSF one will fit. Should finish today or tomorrow. Gotta prep for this Texas heat!

[BERT]

Trying to figure out ways to buy another car. Patiently(not easy) waiting on Vegas in late July.

Also, been on a pretty good poker run for the past month. That's always nice.

MIL is only 5'2ish and weighs a buck-20 maybe. That chair is almost 2' wide inside the arms. lol

2011 was BRUTAL. I hope that never happens again in my lifetime...but I'm sure it will.

Thanks man. We are getting married in April, so we are trying to get a head start on the home hunt. I've been renting an apt since I moved out of UTA dorms in 2009....so needless to say I could have a LOT more money to buy a house by now...

[Courtesy Flush]

Got a speeding ticket...88 in a 70.

Also looking into buying another dirtbike...yz450f/wr maybe go the supermoto route.

Nice! I'm sure it will get done. You are a shop owners wet dream and no way will they want to let you down.

As for me, I got the 5.0 sold. I got my quote from Lydia and realized that I forgot headers on the list. So I need to change it up somehow to fit my Stage 1 budget somehow. :hmmm2:

Was it any type of hard letting it go?

[Grandpa]

Was it any type of hard letting it go?

Not at all. Don't see why it would be. Not my first Stang and certainly not the last.

Just asking out of curiosity.

[Grandpa]

Just asking out of curiosity.

Perhaps maybe if it was something rare and hard to replace I could see it being kinda hard to let go. It's a Mustang and they have made a lot of them. It doesn't hurt at all that I already replaced it with something that is really cool too. Plus, I still have another Mustang sitting here that doesn't get driven at ALL if I feel the need to go row gears or hear the roar of a Stang again.

[Fonzy7189]

I certainly have to get back to working on the 65 Stang chillin in the garage. This whole motor swap is killing the old budget.

[re-rx7]

Im looking at another Rx7 FC3s.

Congrats on the sale! That car will 100% change once you do a pulley/tune/intake/exhaust. You're going to love it

Gearing up to FINALLY start working on the Chevelle again....oooor I may end up buying brakes for the mustang instead.

You sound like me, I've got a chevelle sitting in my garage close to finished and I'm spending money on my 13 gt lol.

[re-rx7]

[Disturbed]

Bout to order a passenger side JLT oil seperator. And hoping for an MGW shifter soon.

[fordplay]

I have my wedding anniversary. And one of my good friends wife just passed after a hard battle with cancer. Well that's my may

I was surprised how much oil builds up in that seperator, good buy for sure.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. My brother is still fighting hard in his battle. :(

[Disturbed]

I dont understand why this isnt standard equipment from Ford when its easily proven how much it catches. :shrug:
Its the little oversights like this that help back up my theory on the Motorcraft Oil requirement / recommendation that they try and force onto owners. (No, I do not wish to turn this into an Oil thread) :argue:

[G-Mann]

work and working out. Getting rid of the keg and getting a forty.

Picked up Xcom enemy unknown at best buy for $15 and gonna boost my gamer score and blast some aliens and shit and whatever else that feels froggy.

[fordplay]

G - Mann those are fun games. Now I'm running the 5 k . Head for the cure.

[donutninja]

I think I have a magnet on my car or I'm invisible. Anyone else feel like drivers have been extra crappy over the last few days? I've almost been in 3 accidents o.O

Also, picked up Portal 2 and Deadpool for PS3. It's gonna be a good weekend!

[Fonzy7189]

Yup...someone backed into me this weekend. Nothing huge just a scratch.

[NAVAG]

Doing House Mods.

Researching Get Dirty Parts for my wife's Jeep.

Looking at Fox Bodies and Fox Body Parts...shoot me.

Finishing up the paperwork on new house.
Getting hitched in September.


Stress is not something I believe in. This should be fun.

Did you decide to keep the car afterall?

Did you decide to keep the car afterall?

For now. My future wifey has been opposed to it seeing she said this was the last car that I would get for me. It also has a bit of sentiment to me as it was in our "save the date" pictures.

My dad had a 67 fastback he sold around my age and regrets it to this day.

I will revist the idea after I am married and see what happens. Obviously if someone comes along with the right price nothing is out of the question.

Same here. I don't want to sell, and would have a very hard time doing so, but once Stephanie and I move into a house after the wedding, it might have to go. I hope not, but we will see.

[Grandpa]

It's a Mustang, not a Bugatti. It's easily replaced. Not a big deal.

[DirtyD]

It's my first performance car period, so I'd like to hold on to it for a bit. That's just me thoughts.

I understand. You're just starting out in the hobby. If you're a lifetime car guy, you will probably have 20 more performance cars at least. Don't miss out on all the other cool cars out there because you have some sentimental attachment to it. Especially considering it's just a standard 5.0 that you can easily pick up another at some point if you wanted to. If it was a rare color combo GT500 or something, I could somewhat get that I guess, but at the end of the day, it's still a Mustang, tons of them were made and you can replace it. Life is short, enjoy the hobby to its fullest.

[Grandpa]

I have had some rare cars too. My last one was a super clean heavy modded 93 Cobra. I had it for several years, enjoyed it, then sold it and then on to the next cool toy. I love my toys too and spend countless hours taking care of them but I'm not going to keep that from experiencing other cool stuff too.

And there is a big difference between an old 67 and a late model Stang too. Not even an apples to apples thing IMO. lol

You can say that now though, like they did in 67. Come see me in 47 years. :naughty:

Ha! Its all good. To each to their own. What I've learned the last year is to live life the best you can. Tomorrow isn't a guarantee. I want to experience as much of this hobby as I can rather than being complacent with one car I can't take with me when I'm gone.

Beauty of the car hobby is I can build the car up to what I want it to be, so it's not a standard run of the mill 5.0 anymore. That's the whole point of customzing, at least in my eyes. Now if I had a stock 5.0, kept it stock, then I could see that making sense.

When my truck was totaled, it hurt me to see it gone. Yeah, it was just a v6 F150, but it was still a truck that I worked on, enjoyed, made my own, and made many memories in. It's about making it your own.

Look at how many cars Jay Leno has. He doesn't sell off, just buys more because each one has a story or connection with it. That's how I feel.

I disagree. Simply because you could easily find another car like yours and modify it the same way. It's not like you have done anything crazy or exotic that can't be easily replicated.

I've had several people ask me how I could sell my 5.0 just like you did. That's the same thing I told them. Sure, it's a nice car but it isn't something that I couldn't easily do again.

My V will be the same way. It will be big power, nice wheels, stance blah blah blah. It will be fast, fun to drive and super clean just like the rest of my toys. I will enjoy it for awhile and move on to the next thing. It's a "limited edition" special car, record holding around the Ring blah blah blah and all that noise. When I'm done with it, I'll move on to the next toy which will be even more fun. It will most likely be a ZR1 after this car. But the V is something I could replace too. Not a big deal.

I can't wait to run some 9's with a four door with two babyseats in the back! lol :peace:

I dig Lawerence's IDGAF attitude and how casual she is, but Watson is a stunner she's smart graduating from Brown with honors and that accent just pushes it over the top.

[Crimson600+HP]

I'll take them both. No sense in arguing :banana-mario:

[DirtyD]

I'll take them both at the same time. Then afterwards, I will gladly be okay if I died. It would be worth it.
