Fox body in high school

Yup...had one in my last year of high-school....and yup, it was the joke of the Student Parking lot.

It didn't help that it was an '83 Mustang L with the 3.8L V6, no hatch spoiler, no radio, a leaky sunroof and custom "desert horizon" paint job with a turd brown interior.

To this day, I still miss that car. Decent power, great gas mileage, stone reliable...ugly as hell!

That was the early-90's though. Today it might have been considered "retro" and "cool"

Dude... I would have made fun of that car.

Not if you were driving it.

well, im know as the kids who loud car sets of car alarms. i love it and im in 11th grade as well

i save burnouts for the last day of school leaving the parking lot. people are already asking how were going to outdo our selfs from last year lol. i drive slow in my parking lot though cuz ill be puttzing along at 10mph and someone will say slow down! ( teacher ) i guess when its loud your going fast!!!!

nah but none every talks **** about my car. even people that dont know what it is. the girls think its shinny and to loud. lol. the guys says its to quite. haha. there are aloft of random fast cars at my school. one being a 350whp civic. another being a 360rwhp 350z. and for being twin turbo i think them numbers are low as hell! but hey. then tons of slow 4 banger crap. the only real muscle at my school is a 70 nova SS me and my buddy just finished restoring. its drying in the paint booth right now at his shop lol. a 05 GT. a 96 GT and my 89 lx. there are 2 other 96-98 4.6 gt's but both are auto's and run liike crap. and the kids that drive them, think there hot ****. haha.

I was another guy that hated all the mustang owners back then in high school . . . while thinking I was the better driver 'cause I drove the piss out of my '97 maxima 5spd on windy roads, and never really cared who was quicker in a straight line, especially after I bought my '01 GSX-R 750 . . . Come to think of it, I still don't really respect people who can only go fast in a straight line that much, skill at driving fast in a straight line seems like 1/8 of the equation to me (despite the fact that I'm ignoring my car's horrible suspension in my first mods and just doing h/c/i) . . .

Actually looking back on it, I didn't really hate those people, I was just jealous because I thought I deserved a sexier car because I was a good driver (though the maxima was very quick, I took it up to 150 shortly after I got it); now I know I was more just a maniac than a good driver, though I've never once in my life been passed on a windy road except for when I was driving a borrowed car or when I was limping my wrecked bike home : ( (there's a lot to be said for keeping it on the track . . .)

i never got made fun of because I had a 331 86 gt.... muahhaha and pretty much ate everybody, so there was no talking bs about my mustang...

I graduated in '92 and if you were driving an aero Mustang then had it made since it was a new car and that meant that you had money.

Me, I drove my 1965 convertible during my senior year and got made fun of quite a bit. Never paid much mind to it then. Now when I run into someone I went to high school with one of the first things they ask is if I still have that old 65, which I do. It must have made quite an impression if they remember that car almost 20 years later.

Now I got myself in plenty of trouble with the 65 even though it had a straight 6 engine that put out a whopping 88hp.

Wow, must've been something wrong with me, I didn't, and still don't care what the "cool" people think. In 10 years, half of them will be selling insurance, overweight and balding, you'll see. Course, in 83/84, when I was in the 11th grade, I went in a 69 GTO. If you need to respond(and it is a waste of your time to acknowledge their very existence), tell them to shove it sideways, and learn anything about cars. Who told teenagers that they decide whats cool?

dont feel bad guys i drove a **** brown 89 f150 granted it still put down 400 ponies n/a, but it was still ugly

I got my mustang the summer after my junior year and I have driven it my senior year everyday except when it wasnt running haha. I am known for the kid with the red mustang and i have actually made some friends because of it. I dont really do anything stupid other than rev my engine except for one time i spun the tires when i was leaving and the traffic *itch told the assistant principal on me. I was kinda the talk of the school when i was doing my H/C/I over christmas break because everyone knew it was gonna be pretty fast. I think im pretty much the only kid in the school that can say that they paid for their whole car by themselves which is the best bragging right ever. All the stuck up kids at my school have lifted trucks with not a single ounce of mud on them that their daddy paid for. Apparently they drive big trucks to make up for something that is small.

oh and i only have 7 more days of my senior year!!

I got the fox in grade eleven. Drove it for all of 4 days before I got banned from the parking lot. I was trying to show off and got really squirrely on the way out, almost went off the road onto a sidewalk where some people were walking. It was really stupid of me and I instantly learned to respect the car, that was the last time I ever matted it around a corner lol. Every day in auto class the other guys would talk **** to each other all class about how their Silverado 1500 was faster than the cavalier etc. etc. It was never ending, if I'd even chime in about running my car they'd all shut up. I never had a single person in high-school challenge me to a race except one guy telling me about his dads volvo s60. It was respected as the fastest car even though it was nearly bone stock (and still is), nobody had anything really special except one guy with a caddilac. My brother's school was a bit different, he had a buddy who got a Mazda RX-8 for his 16th and when his younger brother turned 16 a year and a half later he gave him the mazda and moved up to a porsche 911 Turbo (His dad then bought himself a maserati to replace it).

ive always driven a fox. Nothing else, and there are some people who hate it, but the majority love it. My girl loves it, and so do my friends. But then again, here in miami, the fox scene is rather big.

I had a 91 LX 5.0 in high school, black on black...next to me on one side was my friend with his silver 88 GT and on the other was my friend with his wicked 88 LX 2.3 turbo. Across the way was a kid who tried to be cool with a dark blue 4banger hatch with dual tailpipes. In the other lot were 2 of my friends, one with an H/C/I 91 GT and another with a green over titanium 92 GT. Also in that lot was a girl with a new (at the time) 01 GT. Shes a stripper now.

Once I saw a kid in town who was a year behind me in school when I was going into a cafe. I pulled up right outside the place and he was loitering just outside the door. He said sarcastically "nice mustang" i said nothing and went in to get my food. coming back out he goes "mustangs suck because everyone has one" my reply "oh really, doesnt that say something about how good they are?" he goes "no, they suck" so i said "ok and what do you drive" his response? "a saturn" HAHA I said "dude, I guarantee that if you walk down this street right here you will see twice as many saturns as mustangs, so i guess saturns suck twice as much" and i got in my car and let my exhaust blow in his face.

the funny/stupid thing is that in my senior yearbook superlatives, nicest car for a girl went to the chick with the 01 GT. Nicest car for a dude...at a school with at least 5 beautiful fox Mustangs and a couple very nice classic pickups...went to a chump with a green 1st gen Miata. WTF?
