    RIP (??) RED98

    :rlaugh: oops sorry! That's messed up.. well what can I say.. :shrug: if it's any consolation, RED98 is pretty much my car's name, it's even on the license plates! I have had it happen to me to on my yahoo email. I wanted my nickname and then 72 for my birth year, but some FOO already took it...

    RIP (??) RED98

    Short update on my car.. it's being fixed, and in fact it'll come out of this better than it was. It turns out some of the welding done on the frame from when it got munched in 2000 was not done right, and the shop re-did it. I have new headlights, corner markers, bumper, and left fender. As...

    Geo Metros are awesome! My mom had a white '91 5-door.. the egg on wheels. When I win the lottery I'm getting one and stuffing a big engine in it. On youtube if you search "9 second geo metro" you can see a geo smoking a Camaro, it's hilarious.

    RIP (??) RED98

    Yeah me too.. the Fusion is a waaay better car.. quieter, smoother, more comfortable, faster, better built, on and on. BUT.. the PT Cruiser is a free loaner, and the Fusion was a rental, so at $25 per day X 2 weeks.. I'll suffer the PT Cruiser and save $350.

    ummmm it was I-405 south after coming off the bridge, there's that big downhill left turn, and another highway merges in, I forget which one. Hey, at least I get to cruise in my NEW loaner car for a couple of weeks.. a Chrysler PT Cruiser!! :cool: :nice: yeah.. envy me.. :rlaugh:

    RIP (??) RED98

    It's being fixed, will take a couple of weeks. I bought it back from the insurance company, salvage title, and got just enough for it to cover the repair. I thought about getting Cobra hood and bumper, but it would have cost a lot more, so forget it. But, I did tell them to leave the black...

    Hood Question?

    Has anyone used Late Model Restoration Supply hoods on their vehicle? I looked at a hood from California Mustang online, they want over $700, and LMRS has what looks like the same hood for $280. Are their hoods of decent quality? Anyone have any experience with this? PS: I am asking here...

    Here's some better pictures.. but you know, now that I have had a day to think about it, let me share the wisdom of the Great One, Al Bundy, when his 1974 Dodge was stolen. Sure, he had fun test-driving Mercedes and Lincolns, but in the end, he was glad when the cops found his Dodge. (It was...

    Blue Book Retail 5130 Private Party 3680 Trade-In 2250 I talked to state farm today, and they said that they do take into account any modifications to the vehicle when determining its value. Well, I have tons of mods, so they may end up saving it from being totalled. I should find out in...

    RIP (??) RED98

    we'll see about the GT, (or Cobra??) First I have to see if they total my V6, which I suspect they will since the airbags went off and it needs a new hood and fenders and repainting. I dunno. If they fix it, great, I get my car back. If not, I have to dicker over a payoff and then get back in...

    RIP (??) RED98

    Had a little accident today.. I was unhurt, car was not. You can see the damage in the photos. The airbags went off. Traffic stopped suddenly, I was only going 40 or so, but it was so sudden that the wheels locked up on the wet road and kaboom. So the question is, will state farm total this...

    Just got a mustang, could use some suggestions.

    I'd start off with dual exhaust and nicer wheels. Getting a supercharger or turbo is a huge step that will cost big bucks, especially if you have the work done professionally. How about some pics of your Mustang??

    2010 V6 pictures; you like?

    Fresh from the Portland Auto Show, 2010 Mustang V6 ragtop pictures. I actually like the V6 a whole lot more than I thought I would. It looks pretty nice in person. Not enough for me to trade in my RED98, but it's still nice. I'd wait for 2011, when the 5.0 reappears with 400hp. And if the GT is...

    WAKE UP STANGERS!! Kick ass and chew bubble gum!

    Oh I have no problem at all ragging on toyotas, and hondas, and mitsubishis.. well, anything that's not Ford, GM, or Chrysler. Anyway, no, they didn't get a camry. He works in a sawmill, (this is Oregon, after all) and with the housing market in the toilet, he's been off work for 5 months now...

    16 inch Redline tires?

    I was driving today when I slid on the ice and smacked a curb; it cracked the right front wheel and put a nice bulge in the tire. I'll get the replacement wheel from ebay, but since all 4 of my tires were low anyway, I figure I might as well get a whole new set. So my question is, does anyone...

    Lets see em'

    OK people.. don't make me be the only one to plaster pictures up here for our new guy! I know the rest of you have pictures.. if I can find time to do it, with 2 jobs and 2 college classes, the rest of you can too!

    Lets see em'

    Stock hp for 96-98 V6 is only 150, but the torque is 215 ft-lbs if I remember right. I haven't had my car dyno'd with all the mods, but I'd estimate 175 hp or so. Nothing to set the dragstrip on fire, but better than it was. Your dad's Mach 1 would kill it. My car runs well at 145,000 miles and...

    Lets see em'

    First of all, better wheels than the V6 wheels, then get dual exhaust. I went for that and a chrome BBK cold air intake, throttle body spacer, diablosport tune, cobra seats, white/blue instrument cluster, painted interior panels red, chrome control switches for windows/locks/hvac, chrome hood...

    seeking info..

    I have a 1998 V6 Mustang which I bought when it was 2 years old with 30,000 miles on it. I now have 144,000 miles on it and it has been very reliable. If you keep it maintained you should have no trouble with it. My car never gave me trouble with the head gaskets, but I have heard that is a...

    Who got what for Christmas?

    I got: Seahawks blanket, misc. clothes, and almost enough best buy gift cards to get the flat panel lcd tv I want. I have been driving with snow cables on for the last 3 days and it SUCKS. I should be able to take them off tomorrow.
