New Years Mustang Resolution

I think as people, we're likely to keep our resolution on par for a month or two, but as Mustang enthusiasts, we're likely to keep it going much longer! Let's hear what your resolution for the Mustang is in 2010!


I will run a 13 second 1/4.

I will detail the Mustang more often.

I will accept (and win!) all challenges on the Highways of California (except when safety is an issue).

Not spending any more money on the car!

It's been my new year's resolution for the last 4 years.

Another one.

I WILL NOT drool (too much) when I see the new 5.0 in person.

But if it turns out as awesome as it looks, I MIGHT sell the 82 AND 08 to get one to drool on.

I will not trade in my paid off Mustang for a 5.0 with another car payment.

New front tires, more wax, and buy OEM GT/CS stripes to keep with the car.

I hope to FINALLY get started on the 69 fastback, its been collecting dust in the garage for 26 years now...rotisserie frame is standing up in the garage, bearing mounts installed, just gotta make up the mounts for the car and get it mounted up...
way overkill for a rotisserie(was a 3 ton overhead a-frame/gantry) but it was free, and I got rocks in my head/just love saving stuff from the scrapheap...cleaned up the rust, cut/flipped some parts around, added 4" bearing mounts- once the mustangs done, can flip the parts back around to use as a gantry crane(but will have to stand it up inside the garage somehow, as it wont fit thru the doors in original configuration)
