A year with the Stang...

Ok ok ok. 11 months 4 TSB's, 6 broken valve stems, 1 dead battery, an intake, tune, and exhaust system, and 14,000 fun filled miles. 3 of which landed me with an excessive speeding moving violation and 6 points. But hey, who's counting.

I decided to snap a few pictures to celebrate an oil change and a good scrubbing. No where spectacular but hey, its my apartment complex.

I haven't ps'd anything yet so they might still look a little rough around the edges.










Still stock on the inside




More of the out side








The dirt makes it faster...


Wally World Power...Plus...







My name is Randal...I'm a Brenspeed Lemming

You need a nice blackout panel. It'll flow real well with the other black accents

If I do say so myself, that car looks **** sexy with that Bullitt grille. Makes me want to get one to clean up the front end a bit.

Thanks folks! I love my grill too

I was doing it right during that exhibition of speed, the cop called me a jack-*** (slang for amazing wheel-man). I was literally a few choice words away from cuffs that night. Oh well lesson learned.

What was the speed, obviously on a non-disclosed road

It was computer generated in mexico I was clocked while slowing down at 116mph. Before that it was in the more felonious zone. Now I drive like an old lady and this was months ago.

I'm on the fence about a blackout panel. I think I want a glossy one like the Xenon.

I couldn't agree more. Pics of my '05 (traded ) and the bullitt. +1 on the black out panel too. Not as dramatic on mine as on a white car though. Love the look of the bullitt grill with the California special front end.

Nice car! Why didn't the dealer warranty the battery for you? I think it has a 3 year warranty and lots of guys on here are on their 2nd or third Motorcraft battery? There must be a bad batch of them out there.
I am still on my factory installed battery myself 5 days short of its 5 year birthday.

I wanted to, but I needed to go to work. And it was a sunday. By the time I got her back started up, I was happy anyway. Plus I didn't want the hassle of this mess again.

Oh well. It's still loud a fawk.
