Look on the bright side Jay, your 'testing ground' ticket will cost you $$$... for me, my azz will be thrown in jail.

I spent 18 long years of my life in Stockton. We used to drag race down the levee roads around Paradise Point and Tower Park - or really anywhere off 8 Mile Road before it became the booming suburban area it is today.

Sorry you had to live in Stockton, I hated living there and have tried to avoid it as much as possible since... Lol!

I was off Thornton Rd in North Stockton. About 10 mins from Hwy 12.

Luckily, I am going from the East Bay to the central valley on my commutes, so traffic isn't too bad, but I am driving a Mini Cooper S, cause it gets WAY better gas mileage than my Mustang... I do miss driving my Mustang on a daily basis...

"big bag of suck" that's hilarious!

I kinda dig the Mini's, but dont think I could fit in them...I'm 6'4

I am 6' and fit in there quite well... If you're interested at all, I say at least try a test drive... The Mini is a FUN car to drive... Not fun like the Mustang, but still fun none-the-less... It's quick (advantages of being a tiny car) and it has got to have the smoothest manual transmission I have ever used... Never once missed a shift! Plus, it gets like 35-40 mpg! I can go anywhere from 400-500 miles per tank!

The car is actually my wife's car, and I had never seen one up close or been in one until we started dating, but quickly became a fan! If I didn't love the Mustang so much, I would have got one too. I definitely recommend trying to drive one, at least once... But I also recommend if you do, that it have the 6-speed (auto is not nearly as good) and the Sport model...

I went back and forth about putting something on the stock black cover. Then I decided to get the MWAG cover when I got the 3 radiator covers. Now I decided against putting on any decals or emblems on it. I'm going the plain-conservative look instead of tacking on any plastic emblems.

One thing I'd consider is the TMS logo in black against the TR cover.. that might look cool.
