    post pics of your different emblems

    Yeah, I was looking to get one of those, but the price stopped me. Now that someone has stollen my horse, I'm kind of glad I only spent $70 and not $160.

    New Transformers movie!

    I believe they will talk, because they have Peter Cullen listed for the voice of Optimus Prime. He was the same person who voiced Optimus and Ironhide in the cartoon and movie of 1984.

    What not to do with a Mach 1

    It says in the description that he has the original spoiler and taillights if needed. He must know it looks bad. I found it odd that he called it a GT while describing it though.

    New Transformers movie!

    The Saleen company was hired to make the 2 or so running Camaro concepts for the movie out of some GTO's. Ford didn't want the Mustang to be the 'bad car' to the Camaro. So they just went with a Saleen Mustang instead, to be the bad cop car.

    Considering a mustang, have questions

    Well, you have to take into account some people might like the way '96-98's look more than '99-04's. It's not all about how much more power it has.

    Considering a mustang, have questions

    The '96-98 GTs have the less powerful V8 at 215-225hp. The '99-04 GTs have the 260hp V8. I have a 2001 4.6 GT, automatic, completely stock. 86k miles At around 54k miles, The IAC had to be replaced. Nothing else so far. I get anywhere between 18-25 mpg, depending on how many burnouts and...

    better looking auto shifter?

    I have a cousin with a 2000 something base model Civic, with an automatic. He was bragging about the fact that the shifter kind of looked like a manual shifter, so when people walk by and glance in, they'll think it's a manual. I was like 'ok... if you just look at it you can tell it's an...

    post pics of your different emblems

    I usually have the flame horse in the grille, but last week someone ripped the horse out of the grille on my '66, damaging the grille also. So I went ahead and took the horse out of the '01 grille... yeah. I do like how it looks without the horse also, but I would like to have a choice in the...

    2008 Ford Taurus

    Yeah, Ford is very late in the game offering a more powerful V6. At least in the US. Australia has some nice family sedans with lots of power. I really don't see how 260hp is "amazing" for a v6 though. Most family cars here already have optional 250hp+ V6s. Altimas, Maximas, 300s, and...

    Post them pics!!!!!!

    Here's my '66 6-cylinder. Just finished rebuilding the front suspension and steering. It was down for about 3 months. Also just got new taillights, parking lights, and reverse lights. It doesn't have the horse in the grille anymore, because someone ripped it out last week. Now I need a...

    Post pics of your 1st car.

    '66 Mustang = 1st car, given to me as a graduation gift in '01. It was faded vintage burgundy, with orange primered front fenders, and a wrecked passenger quarter panel. Has 200k+ miles and still going as my daily driver. '91 Buick Skylark = 2nd car, bought for girlfriend to drive for $1k...

    So who works crazy hours at work?

    I worked for the USPS as a temp. employee for 9 months a few years ago. It was a parcel Air Mail facility (tossing lots of boxes and bags full of mail). We usually worked 40 hours plus 4-5 hours overtime. It always got busy at the holidays and in December it peaked. We got 54.97 hours the 2nd...

    I just noticed this...

    I hate the Mustang lettering on my bumper and the Ford emblem on the trunk on my '01. I took all of the Ford/Mustang lettering trim off of my '66. I also hate when people put giant lettering across their windshield. They do it on every kind of car or truck. Nobody cares what kind of car...

    A kick in the balls to the GT40/Ford GT

    You mean a kick in the balls to Gulf Oil company? I wouldn't think so.. it's free advertising. The only reason the GT40 and now the GT were painted that way was because Gulf Oil sponsored some GT40's in Le Mans racing in the '60's. They've also sponsored Porsches, Audis, and Mclarens in...

    Roll vs. Stop

    You're referring to this kind of thing. Even in roll racing you can't know who's car is faster. You could start from the other car's dead spot. Or yours.
