    Swapped wheels...

    Went back to my friend's house last weekend (that I bought the car from a year ago) and picked up his extra set of wheels/tires. The only problem I have now are the tires he had on it. Kumho V700 R-comps aren't really meant for normal driving. They're like sand/dirt/pebble vacuums...

    I hate Deer.

    Living in northern Indiana, I know what you mean. They're all over the place here. It's my biggest fear driving around (well, that, and any one of the 50000 douchebags around me on the road). Hopefully it's minimal. Are you turning into the insurance, or flipping the bill yourself...

    4.6L Gas Mileage

    My friend (previous owner) said his best was 4mpg during a track day at Beaver Run (PA). It's something I aspire to. I want to get single digit mileage someday. I suppose a 2 mi road course is the way to do it. :) Welcome to beaverun motorsports complex

    4.6L Gas Mileage

    I've only checked mine twice. Once on the way back when I bought it (highway), and the next tank terrorizing my town. Highway: 21 Town: 11 Haven't bothered checking since. It's not why I bought it. ;) I'd say, on average, I get anywhere from 160-180 miles to a tank.

    Did a burnout...got 4 tickets...

    Never said I was a saint. Re-read my post. A ticket for a burnout/etc, fine. Live and learn. My point was about the insurance lapse. That, I have NEVER done, nor will I. It'd be bad enough getting slapped with a ticket (or even a suspended license), adding insult to injury, as given...

    Need some advice on wheels, bigger size in back?

    It's your money, your car. Spend it on what you think you'll like. :)

    Need some advice on wheels, bigger size in back?

    Seconding the 18". 18x9 in front with 265/35 on them (or 275) 18x10 with 285/35 or 295/35 in back. That's just my opinion of course.

    Well, that made my decision easier. :D Thanks.

    Did a burnout...got 4 tickets...

    "I've never seen a cop there" isn't a real good excuse. Doing burnouts/donuts, etc, meh. It's fun once in a while (read: once). Buying new $300 tires really syphons on the bank account, so... Letting your insurance lapse though, is wholly inexcusable. Insurance is something you definitely...

    6 Disc Mach 460 into my 99 Mach 460

    I made a post about this (somewhat, I asked about the center trim piece) so I'm curious as well. I'd really like to keep the OEM look. I know they sell complete systems on eBay (didn't seem to outrageously priced) that came with the all the wiring. This is a new area for me. I've not...

    Center console trim part # for a '99?

    I *hate* the factory setup in the mustang. It's absolute s***. I'd like to replace it with a double-DIN unit (haven't found one yet, but looking). Trouble is, it's the two-piece OEM right now (head/cassette on top, CD on bottom). Does anyone know the part number for the trim/bezel to put...

    advantage of offroad h?

    I've got Borlas on mine (at least that's what I've been told Saleen put on them that year). The 2000rpm drone isn't bad for me. At least, nothing a little bump of the volume knob couldn't fix (that is, if I listened to the stereo).

    Getting tinted next week, finally

    Thanks. The previous owner (my friend) took meticulous care of it, as do I. I took the pictures outside my old high school (haven't been there in 20 years). Thought about doing a nastalgic donut on the way out, but didn't want to shave $40 worth of rubber off the back tires. :)
