You gotta be kidding me. You mean there's two cars that ugly in this area? What's wrong with people in Florida, man? All the dumbest looking cars are in Florida.

There are SEVERAL Metalic Green ones that are less than a mile apart. And I believe there are at least two or three metalic orange caprices around here too.

And thats just the cars, not even including the Suburban/Escalades that are running around.

You know what's really sad with all this? Look at the green car I posted up there, and look at those thin, racing tires he put on there. They must be pretty freaking expensive. He's never going to go fast enough, or even accelerate fast enough, for those to serve any purpose at all. Then, after about 15K miles, he's just going to have to change them out again, for more expensive, worthless tires. Some people...

On a positvie note, more than 2000 views of this thread. I'd say that's a nice acomplishment. Also, as of now, more than 100 of my posts have come off this thread. Very nice, indeed.

Kind of handy being able rack up a lot of quick posts, ain't it?

Nice pics Eric, but there's one you missed. There's a red SN-95 sixer with a wing like the one on that Neon you posted. Now admittedly, I like the look of big wings (yes, I do feel dirty, so no need to mention it) but on a six with no other mods? The thing wasn't even lowered

There's a red 99 sixer with a wing like that around my house somewhere. I'll try to get a pic of it. There's a few more riced out 'stangs that I need to get pics of, too. Like the one at FIT... BTW...

Kind of ironic considering that YOU HAVE NO WING STOCK! I suppose your next car will be a 2001 Bullitt?

www.ricecop.com all the uncle bens you can eat.


on another note I'm installing new springs/shocks/CC plates this week. Should change the handling a little. Getting it ready for a full track season.

I need to get some rice cop tickets if I'm gonna take all this time to takes pics of the things.

The Bullit is out, and the Mach 1 is on it's way, but I'm waiting for the special edition GT500 with the 6.8 L V10... Gee, I hope it doesn't have a wing

Boy, I feel bad now for maybe getting your hopes up. That V10 GT500 exists only in my mind, sorry. It would be THE most bad@ss thing to come out of Detroit in a while but can you imagine the insurance on something like that? I don't know though... It would give me a good project after my wife gets a new car.

Oh. That would be a sweet a car, actually it would prolly be the most bad@ss t hing to come out of anywhere. I want a ride as soon as you build it.

Hmmm... No new posts in three days. Could this be the end of the Melbourne Area Stangs post???

Oh yeah, I pulled all the interior out of my car! It looked real good (in a race-only sort of way) and I could definately feel the weight loss. Unfortunately, the wife told me to put it all back Oh well. She's going back to AZ tomorrow. Hehe, I may be driving a rattle-trap next week...

TTT- Just wanna keep it going....Look what my car weighted BTW. It's in my sig.

Sig.

1Bad, i checked out your website, very nice. Loved the music. I didn't realize you had all that awesome stuff on your car. You gotta give me a ride sometime. Also, what happened with the accident you were in, and when's it gonna get fixed?

Thanks. I'll give you a ride but only if you give me a ride in your stang.

Well, first off. I was bored one day so I went driving and it was raining but still the sun was shining. Anyway, I was on Canaveral Grooves BLVD following a White Full size Ford Van probably mid 80's. BTW, we were both doing 30 in a 35 and I wasn't in no hurry so I was just pacing 4 or 5 cars behind when all of a sudden I look forward after scoping out all the Trailors and he's at a complete stop! I hit the brakes and they locked up cause I had skinnies up from and they absolutely suck braking the rain but they rule going through puddles. Anyway, I started sliding and it was either go straight into him or go off the road and around him. Well, I slid off the road and ran over a steal poled mailbox probably 3-4" diameter. BTW, the pole was solid steal and didn't even get bent! All it did was knock it over. The mailbox itself got smacked by the rear quarter panel I think when it slid around some. My front tire went right of the pole and blew out one of my brand new tires (1 week old) and bent one of my welds, which is why I have the pony wheels on there now. So hopefully it will be fixed before next summer or atleast by that time. It would be sooner but money is an issue and I don't want my parents to pay for my mistake. It messed up my passenger fender, passenger door, passenger weld wheel, bent the tail pipe by making it parallel with driver side tail pipe on the driver side of the car(in other words pass. tail pipe was on wrong side of car ), and it got my rear quarter panel. I have a fender to put on now I need to find a door for cheap! I sotra priced one from a junk yard today but it was $200! So, I'll just have to play it by ear I guess.

BTW, my car isn't that fast to be honest. It's just stuff I will need when I do make it fast. I was fixing to get a Vortech S-Trim before all this other stuff happened but we'll see. So, my transmission is next to get rebuilt and i'm going to get a shifter when I do that, then comes the body work. I can't wait until the stang is back to normal!!!

Wow, nice weight Bad89. I'm not so happy with my no-driver, 2.5 gallons of fuel 3260 lbs now
