Drive it. Embrace the dirt.

Otherwise it's just an expensive piece of art laying in your garage.

I will pay her off. Eventually. lol When I get down closer to 7k-10K , I more than likely will.
And please, don't get that gorgeous Mustang of yours all dirty. That's BLASPHEMY!!

Let him be, Darren. Don't stir the pot. The more time and money he spends on his own mods, the less time he spends trying to get us to spend our money.

^ yeah what's up with the Mustangsource app? It won't work . Have to use the full site on the phone, what a pain

As for what I did with her today, NOTHING! Turns out it rained all day, so I didn't have to even think about driving her or not. She's stayed stored for the last week and a half!

Tried my new floor jack and new magnetic jack pad to test fit a drift wheel for brake caliper clearance.

Thanks Burton. Look for the Powerbuilt xtra low profile floor jack, part number: 620479

The jacks lifting 4”x 3” pad doesn't swivel (surprise) and I’m not expecting any long term durability as it’s the typical made in china quality. The low profile feature is nice and they cost around $119 bucks delivered. Combined with the magnetic jack pad, it gets the job done for light duty lifting.

Installed a new strut tower brace. Dressed it up a little with a piece of carbon fiber and a "Powered by Ford" emblem.
