I'm not sure now. It'll probably grow on me though. I just don't like the turn markers in the headlights. Maybe the aftermarket will come up with something nice for that. And I'm not feeling the rear end yet, but it'll be nice not to have the bidonkadonk butt that the Challenger and Camaro have. I'm just going to need time. I'm not gaga over it though like I was for the 2005.

We bought a lot down there a few years ago. Not right on the lake, about a mile off on the VA side in Bracey. We had thoughts of building down there (in the future) but not sure what we will do with it......time will tell.

Obviously an Amadeus movie reference, but true none the less. If there is one thing I do really well fellas, other than...you know...it's designing homes. I can put people in their price range, with what they want, at the square footage that they need. It's bad to be this cocky. But I've got over 65 Parade of Homes awards to back me up. Including 4 Best of Show awards in those past 10 years.
That's really cool Gary

It's alive!

Well, this morning I went outside and finished assembling the Mustang. Then I started it and it didn't idle wtf happened? My dad and I checked and found a loose vacum hose. Started it again, same problem I checked the firing order just in case and it was fine wtf wtf! Then I opened the engine fuse box and there it was! A stupid fuse blew! Then it started like a champ
It really needed the cleaning of the upper plenum, throttle body, new PCV w groomet, and some rotten hoses to be changed. The 5.0 feels happier now as well as me. I can't wait to get it outside to make a little noise!

Glad to hear it Eduardo. So how's the weather been down there? Have you had any bad weather from the hurricanes or are they missing you?

glad to hear you got it figured out ed. sometimes it can be really frustrating to figure it out. one time I was trying to help my friend start his car, checked everything, or so I thought...tried jumping it, etc, until I accidently hit the negative battery cable, and figured out it was loose, 30 minutes looking for a 2 second deal

Yeah. I've been looking for a new toy again.

I washed the Mustang today while everyone else was boarding up their houses. I'm sure we'll be fine now. I'm actually more afraid to leave my stuff. We live in a kind of secluded area, and I have seen a lot of cars drive by this evening. I'm afraid they might be checking who's home and who's not. I hope I'm wrong.

You never know. They could be helping friends/family getting ready or something.

Hopefully, but there is no reason to drive by my house, its on a dead end street.

Wow, the FRPP springs really lowered my car. It is now a PITA just to get it jacked up. I have to drive onto 2x10 boards I've cut to put under the tires to get be able to get the jack under the car. Front and back. I wonder if I had a flat if the stock jack would even get under the car. I'm going to have to check that. If not I'll have to get the fix-a-flat pack like the Bulitt and Shelby's have.

You really need to take pics when you get a chance. We want to see a before and after.

I've got a couple of more mods that were supposed to be here tomorrow. I got some of those black lens headlight and taillight covers. Not for driving around but I wanted to get some pics of the car in all black sinister mode.

I know Nathan. I'm just so bad about taking pics. I always have been. I guess my brain is just not wired that way.

I also did the SHR black rear medallion with an added tri-bar pony on it on the back.

And I've also got the replacement stripes coming for the two bumpers. Those were messed up by me. For some reason I got them backwards on both bumpers and because the plate holder was on the front, I messed it up beyond repair.
