Everything you stated are correct except one thing.
I didn't put on the letter "mustang" to imitate "Shelby".
I put it on because I got the inspiration from classic mustangs.


Even though I prefer the side of the car to be clean and badge free, I'll probably put the badge V6 or 3.7 or Cyclone on the side of my car in the future so it doesn't confuses people.

Vancouver6 is his handle i think. Nice guy. His sixxer actually sounds really good with those gt500 quad ab's. Very Ferrari-ish. It's a sweet car all around.

on that note, I am tracking my own quad tip ab's and valance on santa's slay right now. scheduled to land tomorrow night

a few $$$$ worth of CF also on the slay scheduled for closer to xmas.

Took the Roush out for a little spin in the morning. Topped off the gas tank and then did a quick detail hours and hours later after she cooled down.
Going to finish it up tomorrow after working out. Need to do inside the wheels, the wheels and then add some tire dressing.

Sorry man, that sucks. I feel for you bro.
I almost didn't want to do it, but I wanted to top the gas off. The roads were dry, but it was cold out.

You are correct. Absence does make the heart grow fonder! I hope winter is short and not too "snowy". lol
I'm not really feeling the 2015 at all. If I trade my car in, it's for a 2014 Shelby. How do you feel about the new stangs?

I've been active on that other thread in the 2015 section. Not feeling it at all either. Lost its mustang roots/heritage. Looks good for a new, mainstream, common looking, import car. Looks generic. If you took the mustang badge off, it'd look fine... A decent looking car. The second you throw a pony on the grille, you just threw away 50 years of heritage.

Yeah, just not feeling it. Doesn't have that "muscle" look for me.
If you look at our cars from the side,..the have the front end that says "muscle" as does the rear of the car. The new one does look a little like an import in a way with the lower roof line.

I've been driving mine. It's just dirt that'll wash off. I did feel my first earthquake the other day though. It's not something you can describe to someone haha. That's for sure. Freaked me out.
