    FR500s on my Saleen (poll)

    Pretty much seconding/thirding what's been said already. I'd keep the Saleens. :)

    oops!

    When I was 16, I drove our company dumptruck about 10 miles and it blew up. Turns out the oil fill cap wasn't on. Then when I was about 26, I blew up another Ford motor in a company box truck. It was Friday afternoon, I was tired, wanting to get home and get drunk. Had the windows down and...

    How to celebrate paying the Mustang off?

    There's a certain satisfaction paying off a debt. A few years ago, I had a similar circumstance. Got 10k, went straight to the bank and paid off a small note, a personal loan, and a credit card (which I then cancelled). It was such a relief. As you said, freeing up that $400/mo is pretty...

    Opinions wanted.

    Yeah. That's what I've been thinking/hearing. If it were an S351 maybe... Bah. Might as well have some fun with it. 500 at the wheels is a nice round number. ;)

    Opinions wanted.

    It's got the 18x9 Silver Saleen (how it came from the dealership) wheels (all the way around). That said, it's got Kumho 712 265/35 on all four corners (still plenty of tread left). The more I'm thinking about it, the more it seems it's a lot of cash for no real gain. The car is stock at...

    Opinions wanted.

    Since my car's gone for the next 5-6 months, it gives me time (too much, probably) to look at bits and pieces. That said, I'm currently in debate about wheels. The previous owner didn't opt for the upgraded 10" rear wheels, so it's 18x9s all the way around. So, my question is this: I...

    sad day today

    I just put mine away a couple weeks ago as well. It sucks, but the dropped insurance will help with finances for the nxt few months. As I said in my thread, I will NOT drive it in the winter. Even on a "dry" day, due to the 40 billion tons of salt they coat every square inch with. On dry...

    No $$$ for Mods...?

    Well, in my case, I have a company vehicle for daily/winter/rain driving. If the sun's not out, the car doesn't leave the garage. My main issue with winter is the salt. But, since I have an alternate means, it's moot.

    Those things will get about a billion miles out of them. :nice:

    No $$$ for Mods...?

    That's kinda what I plan on this winter. Oil change, change all the fluids (tranny/radiator/IC) fuel filter, plugs, etc. Then detail the interior (which honestly isn't bad at all). Been thinking about changing the head unit in it (1999 non-MACH) because the factory Ford radio that's in it now is...

    Been busy so fig. I would share....

    Bored at work seems to be an epidemic. Of course, I guess we should feel fortunate we're AT work... Nice ride. If I had the funds, I'd love to find a black cobra to frankenstein. It'd look good next to the S281 in the garage (of course, it's a one car garage, so that Cobra would cost me...

    No $$$ for Mods...?

    :shrug: It's one of 2 supercharged Rio Red coupes for '99 with 18000 miles on it. I don't feel like putting 20k a year on it (it's only driven 6 months a year anyway)...

    No $$$ for Mods...?

    Pretty easily when you get 5-6 feet of snow a winter, along with the highway department dumping roughly 82 million tons of salt on the road. That's only in IN. Those in MI/WI/MN/etc are worse off. There's usually salt left on the roads well into May. I don't get the car out until we've had a...

    Any way to find the color production number of a model?

    Could you possibly just call Ford? I know Saleen will give production numbers to you and give you a little breakdown. I can't imagine Ford not doing the same. Eg: "2002 Mustang GT coupe: XXXX in Laser Red, XXXX black..." etc. Might be worth a shot anyway. You may also find it with...

    Navigator or Expedition

    Fortunately, I've got a 2000 Explorer for everyday/winter. The bonus of that being it's a company vehicle and costs me $0 to drive. Gas, maintenance, and insurance are all part of the perk. I'm not sure an Expedition/Navigator would fit in my garage...

    Winter is around the corner, so the car's in the cave...

    I still get my fun out of it, but I'm trying to not just drive it frivolously (pretty damn hard sometimes). I called Saleen and got their info, it's 1 of 5 Rio Red coupes from '99 and of those 5, 1 of 2 with a supercharger. It had 15980 miles on it when I got it. The previous owner didn't...

    Winter is around the corner, so the car's in the cave...

    I hate winter, with every fiber of my being. But, since I can't/won't move (in Northern IN), it doesn't do any good to bitch about it, so I just have to deal with it. That said, the car's been relocated to it's winter hibernation cave (heated bay at my father's house). I got 880 fun miles...

    gas mileage per tank help

    I've noticed that with a lot of cars. You can seemingly put more in the tank than it says you can. I'm guessing automakers have a built-in reserve on the specs. Either that, or every gas station on the planet is ripping you off (moreso than usual). The Acura I used to have, had a 14.8...
