Boring story about a boring car

[slickwilly]

Uh oh, the 5.0 obsession continues...

Anywho, here's the reason why I'm eternally single: No woman will ever compare to what this car did to me.

Bought it for $1000 not running in approximately October of 2006 and had it towed home:

I was so happeee. I couldn't wait to buy cool aftermarket shit for it, most of which I never even installed.

Bought an upper intake and mounted it.

Then tore it apart again:

First and second times it was started:

First night driving it I made a series of errors:

"Yep, it's a Mustang."

Sounded good though (except for all the underhood clatter):

First day I put the top down:

Bobby helped me to retrieve this chunk of memorabilia which is sitting next to me:

New headlights!

Clutches are tricky:

Snow was falling when I took this pic:

Donuts, I did more than I can count:

New H-pipe!

Werd, mother ****er:

New mufflers!

First and last time that car ever made it to a TMP meet. I was really happy that it did though.

Then the frame broke and I had to retire it. This picture was taken the last time the Mustang went anywhere under it's own power. I just pulled it

out of the barn to rev it up one more time.

After being partially parted out, Ryan bought it:

Near it's death:

That's the last pictures I have of it before it went to the scrap yard.

I've still got the Saleen wing. I had all the mounting hardware too but that probably got misplaced in the move. I'm really pissed that I don't have those wheels anymore. Brand new Kumho Ecstas on 'em too. :mad:

[OxmanWI]

heh, they were on the car when I bought it. Wasn't complaining. Sold the wheels and tires for $475 to pay my bills shortly after it broke.

It was actually a very dark, shitty metallic blue. Spray painted, lol so it looked black. I almost got a custom license plate for it, "DARKFOX"

good job
