Lol.
i ended up leaving the car at home yesterday. The wet roads and wet leaves on those roads made my decision to take the truck.
But today they're dry

Took it to work.
30-something degrees in the morning, about the same going home.
No traction whatsoever from my bald Nitto 555R's

Realized it was time to sell her. 10mpg and 700rwhp isn't practical in my life anymore.

Also put a reproduction Bullitt plate on and took a few pics today. Didn't drive with that plate on of course.

Looking very nice! Not usually a fan of green cars, but this is the exception! Makes me drool... And to think of the performance and power you have straight from the factory... Like it!

Thanks! The Dark Highland Green really pops in the sun and pictures do not do it justice. The only downside to this car is there really aren’t any mods I want to do. I like the wheels, it has magneride, GT350 intake, etc.

I might do a hood strut but otherwise I’m really happy with this car as is. And the sound is intoxicating!

Not really a downside. Just means that the car is a perfect fit!

I agree with the hood struts, that should be something Ford puts on all of them. Might look into adding an Oil Catch Can/Oil Separator. I do not think they comes with one of those either.

New toy

I finally got a chance to shoot some pics of my new project. 2001 Mustang Convertible V6. It has a blown head gasket but so far I have found a place to replace the engine. I found it for 400.00. It has new Goodyear Sports and leather interior.There is only one tiny ding about the size of a dime right behind the fuel door.

Took her out to top off the gas tank yesterday. 43 degrees out and sunny.
I haven't driven this beast in a while. What's this third pedal for again?!?!? LMFAO

I need to do the same. A few weeks ago when we had that day in the 50s I got an oil change and cleaned her for hibernation. Then I realized I didn’t top off the gas and add STA-BIL.

Wrapped my exhaust

During the summer I took my Mustang to the track just to get a feel for her and after about 10 to 15 mins of track time the rear diff over temp light flickered on. So I looked at how close the exhaust pipes wrapped around the diff. So I figured I would wrap the pipes to keep the heat away from the diff.

Looks great. Ford should make that color available for all models.

I ran some errands today with my wife and realized that I have put about 2,300 miles on my Stang in the last 10 months. Since we have our two-year-old granddaughter on weekdays we put most of our miles on my wife's CR-V. We have a car seat in it. At this rate the question is will I reach 100 before my Maria does.
