since my cobra is gone and i broke my arm/dislocated shoulder on the quad, i have time to burn and miss a project car. so i brought this home today, going to just fix stuff first, then 5lug, finally a turbo 331.

should be pretty fun once i get the ball rolling.

i still driv manuals one handed. the notch is an auto though. might do a t-5 swap later on, undecided.

cobra had some hesitation issues and i never drove it. ditched it for my quad and commuter car.

quad got pretty trashed with me in the wreck. we both got our asses kicked rolling at 45. i almost got it fixed, cant ride with one arm though.

Dude, you toatally confuse me. LOL. You had one of the sweetest Fox bodies on this site, then claim you got sick of it and that new edge was better. Then you sell the new edge GT. Cobra's are the only way to go, so then you sell that, because you never drove it. Then your back to a notch, (which people told you would happen). Not trying to be a dick, I'm just trying to figure out the downward sprial!

my fox pissed me off. busted my ass on it for 2 years and got nothing but problems. finally decided to just sell it.

2000 gt was slow, got a cobra. fun car until i encountered the bull**** i delt with in that. after blowing 1200 bucks in parts trying to fix it, going nowhere, and watching it sit all day while i drove a totalled 80's oldsmobile 100+ miles a day. i said hey, **** this car. i also got cannd for breaking my arm, so selling cobra saves me alot of money.

this notch was my cousins car, so i got a good deal on it. foxbodies are cheap so i can let it sit and not give a **** about it.

anyway, now you know about my life decisions. ive always said sn95 was a better dd, fox was better for a fast car. unless you get a 4v, cobra basically. foxes ride like hell and are outdated, but easy to work on and make fast.

stroked, it wasnt the quads fault. hit some bad spots in the trails and the suspension couldnt hold it. totally unavoidable

each one ive had/been in rode like hell. it is an older car, nothing unexpected really. you dont think the interior is outdated either?

i mainly meant the interior is outdated, but i try to avoid typing a ton since im one armed.

Why did you get another Fox, if you think they are so outdated?

Of course the interior is going to appear outdated compared to the newer cars with all the fancy **** they put on them. I like the interior, it's got everything I need (cept cup holders) and it's very simple.

just a project car. i said foxes were outdated when i owned my last one.

im real blunt with my cars. same with the cobra, its a ticking time bomb of **** to happen. the tick, suspension clunking, overheating, transmission problems, on and on.

could go for any car i guess. id rather have a fox at this point since i can easily fix whatever i need to.

btw i wish it was a clutch cable. its an auto.
