A V-6 Mustang?

I might put some bolt-ons on it but nothing major....

Maybe some eibach springs to lower the stance a bit....

I would basically use it for what it was designed to be, sporty looking transportation....

and since it was brought up.... and that it happens to be somewhat of a tiresome subject that I hear in real life sometimes...

College: To me it means you were able to deal with homework, term papers, tests and rampant liberalism for 4+ years... not much else.

Looking back, I could have easily gone to college (3.85 GPA, great SAT scores). I skipped class half my senior year in high school and never studied.
Hell, I had some top schools including the Citadel knocking down my door.

I went to community college for one semester and found it to ba the same old crap that I had been doing for 12 years already.
I was bored to death and just stopped being interested....

I needed to go out and do something that MEANT something, that was CHALLENGING, something that would change me from being just intelligent to being experienced.

The Navy was the absolute best 4 years of my life, and some of the hardest.... I went from being a spoiled kid who had everything handed to me to someone that put his ***** out on the line every day in the most dangerous workplace on Earth.

What I saw and experienced there were more than any book or tenured professor could ever give me: experience, wisdom, and a grasp for what REALLY is important. Not what you drive, how much you make, or what certification you might have.... but what you are capable of when crap hits the fan. Whether in a tense meeting in a board room or working feet from an engine that could not only blow you off the ship, but roast you before you hit the water.....
How about eating MREs for two weeks while living out of tents in the 100 degree Mosquito-ridden heat of Puerto Rico's interior?
Or working 20 hours straight to make sure an air strike is on time and on-target?

Once you have dealt with true challenges, this daily suit and tie crap is cake....

When some people try to come up and impress me by sticking a college degree in my face, I gotta wonder... Who are they trying to impress more? Is it me or themselves?

(Cbring, this is nothing against you, but the subject was brought up and I wanted to comment on it.)
