Long time no post....I bought a new car! Pics inside!

BlueOvalStangGT · Jan 9, 2009

I havent checked in with you guys in a long time! I dont even know if some of the people that posted when I did still hang out here! Well I have been in the game a long time but with school I lost interest (actually just lost money) and havent had time to play with the stang. I bought a new car and since then the mustang has racked on a total of 89 miles (since october) I drove her today and something is up with my 3550 (high pitched squeak) and my battery is shot. Oh well she still looks good and is a hell of a lot faster then my new car. Basically I picked the complete opposite of my last car, here is a list of the differences I have come up with so far:

I4 vs V8
FWD vs RWD
Silver vs Black
4 doors vs 2 doors
Turbo vs Nitrous
Diesel vs Gas
50 mpg vs 15 mpg
15x5 wheels vs 18x10
German vs AmURIcahn

The mustang just sits. I finally fixed the A/C, bought some chrome 18x9 and 18x10 Saleen wheels and added the nitrous and now I dont even drive it! Im going to buy a cover for it and hold on until I have the time to build something cool with it. I am selling the tuning stuff I have (tweecer/wb02) and I will probably sell the motor/transmission (rebuilt, forged pistons/Trickflow top end)soon in favor of a GT40/T5 just to put extra money in my pocket. Heres some pics of the new ride: VW Jetta TDI (diesel). I love it, comfortable, drives nice, sounds cool and effiecient. I just added a GPS, roof racks and a trailer hitch....best road trip car ever!

Anyone want to give me cliff notes of cool things that happened in the mustang world recently?

Who are you?

Nice DD. I should've gotten something like that, instead of my Jeep. The DD probably gets worse mileage than the toy does.

HOLY CRAP he's alive!

Great to see you back, my friend. I don't spend very much time here at the moment, but in the next few weeks I'll be coming back around with a few major updates on a little project I've had going on for too long now

Nice little autoX car you've got there, time to start modding

BlownFiveLiter · Jan 13, 2009

Aaron lives, too! I wanna see updates on your car, stat.

Killercanary · Jan 13, 2009

Welcome back! Its nice to see both of you around again.

ProKiller · Jan 13, 2009

yeah i was thinking the same thing. you both need to come around more and help revive the forums. I'm bored at work with stangnet being so slow.

xr8d302 · Jan 13, 2009

Nothing too ridiculous yet, Matt, just getting it all together now. In a few weeks I'll have LOTS of pics to put together for you guys

It's good to be back, and although I haven't posted, I have poked in from time to time to see what's been on everyone's plates. Paul, by the way, I'll bet you 50 bucks that you won't be able to keep that Cobra stock for more than a month....

YEAHLOH95 · Jan 13, 2009

YEAH welcome back i'm spending more time on here lately too

BlownFiveLiter · Jan 13, 2009

If Doug Caldwell pops in I am buying a lottery ticket..........

BlownFiveLiter · Jan 14, 2009

Caldwell did pop in recently, but never came to visit us in 94-95. He was posting in the 2010 Mustang forum.

It was the rage of ignorance that took over me.
I lurk from time to time...

You get another Mustang yet, Doug? Gotta be hard to replace your old one, after how clean you kept that thing.
