yeah, gonna sell the stang.
had a little breaky-wakey last night after a car show up in corpus christi, tx. before bed time, i went to gas up the stang so i wouldn't have to do it in the morning before coming bakc home. i pulled in to a store and as i was getting off i got a weird vibe, so i decided to head over to the store across the street. i looked over to my left and right--no cars coming, so i go for it. all of a sudden, BBBOOOOMMM, i ran over the median--a huge chunk of concrete that ran along for about 100 feet. i wasn't going fast at all, nor did i even see it... i'm alright, mostly just in shock, but the side skirts and rear bumper are
cracked, so they'll need reparing/replacing. no other damage, thankfully. i could've sworn i busted a tire or something, but i'm glad it's just cracked urethane and nothing else. long story short, i'm replacing the pieces w/ new ones + new paint, rebuild tranny, and gonna get a new-edge and sell this one.
it's great, love the 5.0, but i'm done w/ this project. hoping i can pick up a 99-04 for cheap or something. i really need something more reliable (lots of things here and there that need fixing/replacing). i'm still in school, in my last year, and i can't justify putting money to repair an older car when i can get a newer one for the same amount of money.
friend's dad is hooking me up--he's got a dealer license so we're hitting up an auction. plan is to buy the new car very soon while fixing this one and selling it. good thing is i should make a little more than 500 than what i've put into the car, along w/ swapping rims so i keep my dd's!
i'm sticking around here for sure, though. lots of great guys in this little corner of the web.
comments/suggestions welcome.
