This is why I religiously plug in the Battery Tender when not in use.

Car fires up everytime!

I'm going to get two of those Battery Tender Jr's... one for each car. I'll keep one on the '89 almost all of the time, and one on the '06 when I know I won't drive it for 4 days or more.

Yes it does, something like 5 seconds from 3rd redline to 4th at 6k (~120 mph).

You can see my Raptor light just flash on before letting off the gas. It was at that point I hit around 120.

I can get over 100 just on the acceleration lane for the Turnpike.

Which do you have? Does it stay in the car hooked up to the battery and then you just plug it in?

Kinda gets scary at that speed, especially when the highway 'slightly' begins to turn.

I have the Jr.

Leads get permanently attached to the posts and have a quick disconnect plug about 12" down. Works perfect.

eBay, brand new.

I forgot what I paid, but it wasn't too bad of a price from what I remember.

You're both right, 91 Super!

Glad to see you 2 are still alive.

I'm currently working on part 2 of my very first Mustang video up on youtube. Remember the one where I bring her home from the Dealer and start the first few mods? I hope this one will be equally as entertaining. Might be ready in a day or two... hopefully.

The No. ! question that comes to mind when I see a pic of you at the gas station is..............................................

Do you fill it up full up? Or half tank tops, or 1/4 tank tops?

Less weight means better tire roasting................................

PS. Very nice pics of your car and you and Chris Bill, paradise is good to you and the fam

I've only topped the tank off once, when I cruised to Cheeseburger in San Diego. Other than that, I typically only put a 1/2 tank or so. Yesterday, I went 3/4 because I was distracted from the picture taking.


And yes, I've had a r/c before. No fun at all.

Just made a significant purchase (around the cost of a driveshaft) this afternoon. It's not Mustang realated (for once! ).

Any guesses?

I realized that I was spending too much $$$ on the Stang recently and was neglecting my personal needs. So, I got something cool for me.
