Well it's been at least a week since I've gotten to drive my Mustang. It's been raining here and frankly keeping a black car clean is problematic enough without driving on wet and grimy roads too. So here's the local forecast for Friday.

Local Forecast
Fri
Sep 25

Isolated T-Storms
High-84°
Low-69°
Chance of Rain-30%


So what do you think? It's completely up to you people. However, if I have to spend all day Saturday cleaning the car again it's gonna suck to be me.

BTW...I'm talking about this car.


If I don't take this car, I'll take the truck. Not nearly as fun, but if I never wash it, who gives a crap.

 

I say drive it and get a workout saturday re-waxing the car. I know all the misfortunes of a black car mine was black before i ran over a deer.

 

Take it, but keep an eye on the weather. Aren't you like 3 minutes from home?

 

No reason to get smart with me young man.


The main problem is we have a parking lot that is half gravel and half dirt. My parking spot is in the dirt and pot holes. If it rains, the car will get dirty. Underneath too.

 

What about the 5.0? You could always take the truck to work, then go for a nice cruise this weekend to get your fix.

 

5.0 is fun. But nothing says Friday like a Black GT. It says, come 5:00, or more likely, 4:45, I'm laying rubber on the way outta here.

 

I thought you said the parking lot was dirt.

 

I do that every day the highway in front of where I work looks like a drag strip with all the rubber I've left

 

Ah...but the street is paved, young grasshopper.

FNA man!

 

nothing like 450hp and 3:90 gears to leave tire marks in 3rd gear and in some cases 4th

 

I figured that. One thing that's always annoyed me on tv and movies is when cars squeal their tires on dirt roads.

Notch. 5.0. Blown. Now.

 

My car's N/A I have no Blower, there's nothing like the boisterous personality of a high compression, cammed up small block










well maybe a Supercharged cammed up small block

 

Well I want a blower.

 

Sounds to me like you want to take the Mustang.

 

Honestly, I might be lucky if its starts. Sometimes after a week if I've left something on it won't start. Then other times after 3 weeks it starts up just fine.

 

I said take it but honestly I would leave mine home!

 

Thanks Jim.

Don't you drive like an hour or something?

BTW my cars only seen rain twice. Once on a two hour trip where I was stuck in it and couldn't just go home, and the second time was a flood where I got trapped downtown because all the streets around me had 8" of water at least.

 

We have severe flooding here monday

 

Tru dat. I hope it all went into the lakes so y'all don't have anymore droughts too.

 

Yep 1 to 1.5 hours each way so if there is a hint of rain in the forecast mine stays home. However 3 min away you really don't have an excuse... take a "smoke break" and run it home it the sky's look bad.

Mine also has only been driven in the rain twice as both times i was on a trip and could not get home. Otherwise it does sit outside all of the time, but getting rained on and driving in the rain are two different things.
