You might be a mustang guy if.......
________________________________________
1) Your goal in modification is to beat a stock LS1 F-body.
2) Your first mod is flowmasters
3) You have mufflers and a K&N for a new mustang before you take delivery
4) Your car has 10,000 miles and the dealership mechanics say the squeaks and rattles are "normal"
5) Your answer for those squeaks and rattles is a louder exhaust.
6) You spend the money you withdrew on gas instead of food like you planned.
7) You have "Bullitt" on DVD, and you've seen the chase scene tons of times, but never the rest of the movie.
8) You notice every damn ricer on the road tries to race you
9) You look in the rearview every time you notice Mustang headlights.
10) You recognize the year and trim of that Mustang by those headlights (or tail lights in some cases)
11) You floor it under every bridge and overpass just to hear your car.
12) You can hear a Mustang from a mile away, and tell the difference between a 5.0 and a 4.6
13) Your windows squeak
14) You turn your music down and roll down your window to hear another Mustang's exhaust.
15) In the short walk from your car into the convenience store, you turn
around at least twice to admire your car.
16) You have ever come to a complete stop if there is water on the road
17) You have a towel and some quick detailer in the trunk in case you
forget rule #16.
18) The first thing you do when you get in your car is turn off the T/A
19) You know what T/A stands for
20) You have "lost a race" because of your T/A
21) When you have to respond, "what glove compartment"?
22) You know what PI stands for.
23) You use parts catalogs for reading material while on the "throne"
24) You laugh hysterically at Fobras and Faleens, and you can spot them from a mile away.
25) You spend hours looking at different brands of the same product.
26) You know that you're one of the few cars on the road with true duals.
27) You get pissed that people want to ride in your car cause they add weight.
28) You put your Mercedes outside so your mustang can stay in the garage.
29) When the stoplight is considered practice for the drag strip.
30) An "intake" to you is more than just the piping leading to your throttle body. (full manifold and up)
30) You wish they made INTAKES for your car that was under $1500(4.6)
31) You have to put the beer cooler in the back seat because it will not fit in the trunk. (coupe/convertible).
32) You already know you're calling in sick the weatherman says 3-6 inches of snow forecasted for the rush hour.
33) You've ever been pulled over by a cop just to see your car
34) You have over ten parts catalogs under ur bed (best aftermarket)
35) You know where the real cup holder is (5.0 guys)
35) For every suspension mod you've done 10 engine mods.
36) You change your exhaust setup more often than u change ur hairstyle.
37) You've made your ricer friends hypothetically crap their pants on their first ride along.

Everytime they show Bullitt on cable, I'd always catch the chase scene. Not because I waited for the chase, when I channel surfed the chase part would be playing, its weird.

I'm good for about fourteen of those.

21) goes for 3rd gen F-body.

I've probably driven a quarter mile in reverse more than once to avoid going through puddles, haha. But in my defense it was right after the car got a bath.

I have Bullitt, and sometimes I just watch the chase scene for fun. I think I've only watched the whole movie maybe twice. The rest of the movie is really kind of strange.

My girl is blond, so I resort to the "real cup holder" in my '93, plus that frees her up to preform other tasks...

It's been a few years since I sold my '87 LX, but if memory serves, it was between the E-Brake and the passenger seat in the center consol, was it not?

Thats the spot! Drivers side between seat and door works well too, but if you forget your drink there and open the door... not pretty.

The real cup holder works for us sn95 5.0 guys as well. The cup holder in the console sucks!!!


BTW #1 for me is to outrun a modified LS1. I've got a long road till I can do that
