there goes that 25 bucks he was gonna save.

F150 vs neon
The things people will do to save money nowadays, that's a good one!

I've been working 11 hours a day the past few days, have to do it again today and needed a good laugh.

basically he hit the neon in the rf fender, crushing it, and giving him about 45 degrees of negative camber on the rf wheel.

Well they don't actually turn them off completety. But the Brick inside when kept at a high temp is fine but when you cool them down a little they tend to crack. I they it was a 1 year job and about 7 million dollars to reline No. 7 Blast furnace several years ago. It is the biggest Blast Furnace in the world.

I am feeling pretty good! The last two nights on the way home from work I have followed a tweeny school bus down the last 2 miles to my house. We stop like every 2 to 3 houses to let the kids off the bus so I just sit with the top down looking at what should be my grandkids. I have a pack of Mustang admirers sitting in the back of the bus. There is one little 10 - 12 yr old girl that keeps mouthing to me "I love your car" Well it make an old man feel pretty good. Please don't call the cops. I am really pretty harmless!!!!!!

I am saving a copy of this post, to use for blackmail if I need to in order to get a ride in that Mach of yours. Heck, even take me in the 'vert so I can get a sense for those cams/long tubes.

I've had plenty of gawking kids looking at my car from the back seats of a school bus, the expressions on their faces and telling their friends is just too funny.
