Well, guy and gals i've been away from Stangnet for months now. Seems everyone on here takes a hiatus every once in a while.
Well, I lost my dad in the beginning of September to cancer and he was only 47, so it hit me really hard and i had to quickly grow up from 21 to feeling like i'm 40 now with 10 times the responsibilities. The Mustang and my hobby took a back seat for a while I settled into this new life with just my mom and sister in the house. Well, finally things have started to look up and life is getting back on track. With a better job, i managed to upgrade from my old '00GT to my new car love, a 2001 Lazer Red Cobra. Picked her up with 50k miles for $13,800 with a flawless black interior and very minimal mods. As it stands the car just has the following
*K&N Filter
*MM Full-Length SFC's
*Strut Tower Brace
I've got a bunch of parts on the way in a week or two like full exhaust (o/r x-pipe, M55 Catback, 4.10's, JLT intake, IRS mods, and a tune.
Anyways, here are some pics and its good to be back with a group of people that share the same passion for cars, not just Mustangs and spend their hard-earned money on these things. *BTW, the big Cobra badges are off the car now and replaced with regular sized ones*
Mike

Thats the reason they're not on the car anymore, and they were too damn BIG. I believe they're the Cobra emblems off the GT500

Hey I live out on the west side of Houston in Katy, but work right Memorial City Mall, go to U of H main campus, and attend alot of car meets on the soutside as well, so im everywhere lol.

And yes, another Stangnet HRP meet would be badass here in March or April, so we could see everyone's progress from last time
