I wish you luck my friend. God might smite me for this but... The thing is actually fast. Imagine that, a II that is actually fast. Not only that, but when Arin is driving... well all hell breaks loose.

The thing rattles like it is going to fall apart everytime you step on the gas. It dies in reverse, it dies anytime it would like to actually. It has a fake clutch pedal that Arin uses as a left foot foot rest, and many other "quirks" I suppose... Oh yeah, and no Power Steering and when you see how weak Arin looks it's kinda scary to be in the car while he's parking... I wouldn't mind owning it.

It has power steering, its just broken, so its harder than normal manual steering

Oh and it also dies when you've been driving long enough for the engine to get too warm lol, found that out friday

I never once thought the II was fast, I just assumed that its around where a stock fox is.

And if you wouldnt mind owning it... well.. Give me a couple grand and you can hold it for a few years

You need to spend about an hour and a half round trip and get your butt down here so I can see her! glad to see she's back in the right hands. I think you need a brake upgrade btw. And I'll take those horrible ones off your hands.

I think the whole "scary as..." made it feel faster than it actually was. Fun car to be in though.

Actually guys, I was set to get it back for winter break for a while now. Ever since I started planning out a motorcycle, my parents have been thinking that they can give me the Bullitt and shut me up (as well as prevent me from getting a motorcycle... until I'm done with college at least )

I was originally going to get it at the beginning of next school year but I convinced mom I would need my own car over winter break because I'll be going out and doing things with my friends. If I'm lucky, I'll get to take Kaylee back to Stockton with me in January so I can have a car at school.

It felt sooooooo good to drive her again. I can't even put it into words. If I were to choose just one word, I would choose

TORQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And shifting lol. mmmmmm

I put about 110 miles on her today, going out to lunch and to gun stores with my friends.

Though I used 1/2 a tank of gas lol. I missed this. All of this. The joy of a fast Mustang
