Not my style, but the car was okay. It ran 12s so it lessens the pain even more. As a whole, even though the car was not my style and I would NEVER own such a car, I KINDA liked it. I don't mind to seeing different setups every now and then (even though the front facia, green window tint, and PS in the car disgust me).

With that said:

...What's interesting is that a while back there was an article in MM&FF about 'How do I get my car in MM&FF?' Guess what the editor said? Basically, that they (MM&FF) are tired of photographing plain-Jane LX's with stock paint jobs and Weld's/Draglite's/etc and some bolt-ons. They're now looking for the wild/extreme paint jobs with stroked 351's and 460's, or twin turbo's on a 347, etc - something really unique...
If that's true, I am saddened and angry . The reason I started reading MM&FF and got a subscription to them is for the clean-looking, souped-up or stock Mustangs without ricey wings, flashy paint jobs, unattainable 1500 hp twin turbo packages, stinking playstations (even though PS is fun, it doesn't belong in there-- my opinion).
Considering the quote above, they seem to be going in the opposite direction of my interests and if this continues, then the subscription will be in jeopardy. But I doubt it, from what they've produced in the past.

But like I stated above, I like to every-once-in-a-while see a car like this or with a crazy unattainable turbo system on it. Being open-minded, it doesn't bother me too much to, from time to time, see things/combos/setups that contrast my interests.

BTW, Having TVs and esp Playstations in such a car is absolutely STUPID...
