What did you do with your Mustang today?*
I am when I get the chance. looking at that picture, you know, one thing that impresses me is that especially when it's shined up like that, a now almost 11 year old car way past it's prime still gets noticed on the road, gas station, and at school. The other day I was talking to this couple at an Alco and they both where drooling over it. I was touched.
Took my fiancée to an empty parking lot and started the process of teaching her how to drive it
she did pretty good. We just worked on getting it started, in 1st and 2nd. Going to practice once a week until she gets comfortable with that. She only stalled a few times, and even then it was very light. No big lurches or anything.

my gf drives a manual already, but hasn't asked to drive the car. Uses the truck once in a while.

No big lurches or anything.My GF learned to drive on a truck with 3-on-the-tree ... she's been driving manual-trans vehicles all her life.
Her other car, the '03 Forester, she had to have ordered/located, since she demanded the 5-speed, and wouldn't take an automatic.
Another reason I love her
I taught my wife to drive a manual when we were on our honeymoon... in a company vehicle (a brand new unmarked Mazda B2000 pickup) that my boss at the time allowed me to use as a wedding gift. The back roads of Pennsylvania Dutch country were perfect for the task.

My wife knew how to drive a manual before I met her. Her dad did the teaching. I taught myself. Many many years ago a company I worked for provided company cars. The one they started me with was a manual. I told them it was fine, but inside I was saying "oh crap". I just found a big empty parking lot and got to work.

Darren... Remember our talk about worrying about scraping our splitters? Well... I was a bit proactive, so I used some tape and some plastidip and created a pseudo barrier for future accidental scrapes and possible rock chips. Can you tell it's on there? If not, then good! How it should be... Pic is of left and right side of my valence
Then I got carried away and detailed her at 10 pm tonight

Yeah,..you can run the bigger twin throttle body and larger elbow inlet as a plug and play as long as your tune is allowed for it. I know VMP tunes allow for it as a plug and play with their custom tunes.
Good deal man!
Met up with a local buddy of mine who owns an '11 shelby vert. We went for a cruise. Got lots of looky loos and kids asking us to light em up. why do people always ask to light em up in the worst possible places? like parking lots full of cars? lol




Love the stripes on the new bumper Darren.
