Guys can I ask for your help

As you know I'm trying to get someone to assume my lease, if you would help me network that would be great. I have 26 months left on the lease and I'm trying to get someone to assume the lease for the remainder. Its a great deal as all there is is a credit fee ($50) for the app with Wells Fargo and thats it. No more up front costs.

Just need to spread the word and it you could that would be great. PM me if you need specific info as I have the GT listed on a few lease assumption web sites.

You know once you remove the tune (Bama or brenspeed) and the CAI its not the same, you can really feel the difference in the SOTP driving. Its just not as fun to drive.......................

Catching what?
Did Brian have a bong on his desk or something?

I like how people put up for sale stuff without giving any specs.

A quick Google shows 2008 GT500's are now coming with P255/45R19 tires and 19 x 9.5-in machined aluminum wheels.
If true, George may have some feedback on running with 19's.

Rears are 285's. Got a set in my garage from before the conversion. 4 tires on the rims. I gotta a lot of spares!

Not a fan of the GT500 wheels. To me there just a step above the 17" "Premium" wheels.

Luis the fat lady is singing waaaaaa. I bet Leo is having a few!

+ look what Hollywood did to our famed Mustang. This looks like a good ride when driving into South Cental L.A.
