My mom says thanks for the pearl necklace.
Lost my license so I hate seeing her just sitting in the garage getting dusty :-( Can't drive her for 2 years, I don't know how I'm going to do it....even worst, I just got her paint a month before I lost my license BUT I love hearing her start up when I do start her up.

Thanks
I am just "eh" about my car right now. Just until it gets tuned (Monday), I'm sure.
considering I threw a wrench at it yesterday.. i believe i can be counted in this conversation.. i love it from the sentimental value it has.. but hate it because it hates me.. as in.. i go to change a shifter and it turns into a all weekend job because the bolt broke off or something f'd.. hell i put in my hurst stick kit.. first thing that happened was the boot ripped.. how about that crap? im fed up with er right now lol.. but still.. i come back.. like im just about to

Many have told me how fortunate I am...... but I'm still left unfulfilled!!!!!
All I fantasize about are well done foxes.
I'm now seeing a Psychologist!
Six months ago, I began councelling. It was at the recommendation of my wife. She explained that a 38 year old man with 2 children should NOT behave this way! So she recommended I go see a professional for help. My psychologist diagnosed me with:
"5.0 Disease"
He explained that it is one of the most dangerous disorders that he treats. Very difficult to cure. There are no medications that can help "curb the urge." Initial treatment consisted of verbal discussion only. The typical persuations by the "professional" to help persuade me that I have a much better vehicle than any fox could provide: "smoother/higher efficiency OHC engine, refined interior, better suspension, more comfortable ride, improved exterior styling" ..... but none of those arguments had an effect!
............... No effect!
Then, my psychologist gave me some exercises to carry out to help with my disorder:
- Stop reading/participating in 5.0 forums & discussions
- Participate even to a greater degree on IMBOC
- Start reading & posting in StangNet 4.6 sections
- Start reading & posting in on the ModularDepot
- Throw away your 10 year collection of MM&FF & 5.0 Mustang
- Go to MPH and get your Bullitt blown
These were great exercises that helped............ but still left me unfulfilled! I still stuggle with this disease on a daily basis.
Currently, my family and I are taking it day by day. They are very careful in their use of words and do not discuss anything mustang related.
All we can do is hope for the best!

NO!
Yeah she is gone. It was my first car, had it for about 8 years. It just came to the point that I rarely ever drove it anymore. I ended up selling the s-trim off of it about a month ago and sold the car in n/a form this week. I got $7.5k total from the sale, I lost some money but I felt I did pretty well for a car that no longer had A/C or heat.
The only plus side, now I have the extra cash to buy the twin 57mm turbos and a real fuel system to feed my cobra

I love my 88 saleen but maybe I should of got a 60's mustang like I was planning on. I have a long live in head of me so I can get one later on after I fix mine up.I WILL ALLWAYS KEEP MY FOX!!!!!!!
I feel ya' on the love for sentimental reasons part; just the same, it's all the countless little things (most of which I'm sure will never be fixed) that make me hate it. More of the love than the hate going, though, which is what has saved it from my placing it in an Autotrader ad on at least three occasions. Still fighting the random Satanic Possession Issue, which will probably never fully be exorcised from my engine bay, but it's nowhere near as bad now as it once was.

Definitely loving my '92 right now. Not nearly as fast as the '90 but it's more comfortable, has a better sound system and doesn't have nearly as many "bugs" that need to be worked out.
The '90 is still fun to drive once of twice a week but it needs some TLC. Right now I can't afford to do some of the things I want/need to do and it's frustrating. I actually put it in Autotrader but decided against selling it (got 5 calls in the 2 days the add ran). Basically it's in need of a paint job AND a new block. The factory block has passed 300k on the odometer and it's starting to sound like it.
