Right on brothers!! Same here. No way,....no how. lol


I checked out the green machine sitting in the garage this morning with the battery tender hooked up to her. I'm dying for some warm weather to start the melting process.
I did pay her off for the rest of 2016 this morning though. (Not officially, I have to mail the check out on Monday morning. ) No payment due till January 2017.

I plan to have mine paid off in a year. NO WAY am I gonna make payments for 75 months!

It was such a dream when I paid off my last car. The extra money in the budget is so handy (for mods now )

Must be nice to have a garage queen if the weathers not pretty lol

Mines a DD, loves to play in the rain, loves to get dirty as heck, then loves to be pampered when she needs it.

10 days ago ... installed the AFE 31-80179 (dry version) inverted air filter which replaced the OE (FA-1897) Motorcraft paper filter. No performance gains, it's just going to be easier to clean and reuse when encountering the (sometimes unavoidable) desert dust devils.

I was going to make the same comment but I thought I was going to start a war between the daily drivers and the garage queens.

Believe I really want to, someone is making money off my money......but I am looking to buy a new daily driver too. Not sure what yet, but the contenders are a 2015/2016 SRT 8 Jeep and a 2016/2017 Ford Raptor. (not too crazy about the ecoboost thing in the new Raptor, but willing to make a compromise because the thing just looks/is so **** bad ***!) Also,been giving the 2015/2016 Roush RT570, 4X4 some thought. We'll see how it goes.
I really don't know what the exact pay off is on the Roush, because I send in more than what the actual payment is. I've been meaning to call but between working over time and working out, there's little time. lol

Trust me,......it is. lol
If I didn't have the money to buy a daily driver, I would never have a muscle/sports car living in New England.
But, I would have one hell of an AWD or 4X4 daily driver, that's for sure.

I'm envious of the guys who don't have to drive their Mustangs in bad weather. Mine is garaged at night, but rain or shine, it's my ride to work.....and a fun ride at that.

mounted tires and wheels yesterday

I was pretty sure this would look good, and though I wavered a bit cause of the 20" wheels, they look fantastic... my 0-60 went backward from 4.53 to 4.95 but that may be fuel an it is really humid today. Here are some pictures. Definitely better looking that OEM 18"rs... Oh, Alex/Josh/Coal at American Muscle were great.

Having three vehicles and only a two car garage the '05 is parked in the garage as well as the wife's escape. The recently acquired '07 is parked on the driveway and this winter has experience rain, snow, some muck from driving and road dust. The road dust is the result of the municipality failing to sweep the road sand until April of each year. So I have one protected Stang and one left to the elements.

you need one of these to read out or in to retrieve small things, or a couple subs back there to shake it out.

lol.... Yeah got one.. It was deep..deep in the wells of the trunk lid. The further I "tried" to push it down, the telescopics of the tool collapsed as I tried to go further down the junctions of the trunk mold. I also tried stacking several magnets and fishing it out from the outside of the trunk mold, carefully sliding it back up to an opening. Almost had it this way until a junction in the trunk mold had a hump...... heard it drop back down an it became wedged by the trunk brackets. It was "game over" at that point....lol Its all good... learned how to remove the trunk....lol

Subs would of been the ticket, although the neighbors would of had an issue with that at 2AM...lol
