Thumbs up

Hmmm. That's how you do it: car gets priority over house, insurance, phone bills, light bill, water bill, etc. I'm kinda proud of you (in kind of a twisted sort of way ). As long as you dont' do this every month, you'll make it. Bum off some friends and family for the rest of this month. It's almost over. Stay true to the Mustang cause .

This man of sheer genius straped a 225hp shot onto a stock 88 AOD GT with 180K miles.

A N2O backfire blew a muffler out and wedged it against the driveshaft, bending it.

Brad gets a A+ for parts breakage

On the plus side he won the race.

P.S. Brad, did you ever get the C-4 back in the 94? Are you gonna roll it out to the "spot" this week?
