i had to go to the grocery store to get some chicken for my dog.

the store is only about 1/2 mile away, so i decided to take the mustang.

the parking lot at the giant is pretty big and mostly empty this time of night.

of course, i had to step on it a little to see what it was like.

i went about 1/2 throttle for just a few seconds and ...

holy crap that thing is gonna be fast.

i think i will be happy after the manual valve body in installed.

That's awesome. After the first few seconds of driving with my 408, I knew that the months of head-scratching and knucklebusting was worth it. Anyways, if you can't keep the beast, hopefully you can find somebody who can appreciate its worth and take care of it.

Ohhh-wie, I'd be all excited and jumpy waiting to see how the new ride will look in person!

Meh, the wife will come around - you'll get used to seeing an extra car in your driveway and it'll be no bigs.

Just keep coming up with excuses why you can't sell it yet and maybe she'll eventually forget about it?

After you figure out your trans problems tell her that you cant figure out this problem with your halogen fluid. Then you always have your blinker fluid after that
