    Is it true???

    Back in the early 60s we called limited slip > positraction - no matter what brand the car was. I have a hunch this is a "Harley" deal - by that I mean - Ape Hangers became a Harley word - Harley STOLE the word from the general public. They then started suing everyone for using "their...

    What if it wern't what it is?

    Right now (these days) I would be interested in a new or newish Mustang - even if they had not changed body styles. Being honest - if money was no object my attention would have stayed on Corvettes. I have liked the two prev body styles (Mustangs) and like this one. In the case of GM with the...

    How many years from now till we see a NEW bodystyle?

    I know the exact answer - but the right answer was not a choice so I could not vote. It will be 4 years 233 days 6 hours 41 minutes and either 7 or 21 seconds. It came to me in a dream but the phone rang when the seconds were starting to come clear.

    Alright...fess-up! Who are you trying to impress??

    Ok you ask us to be honest. I can't afford a Mustang or a used Yugo. I am using the new Mustang as a carrot - a motivation to "keep going". I am almost 59 years old - croaked in 1998 - (heart I was told) woke up 10 days later with the burn marks on my chest. I had been working so hard I...

    I Now Understand what the 2005 Mustang GT is All About

    Built it "the scoops will come". Ford is just doing what most companies do when they come up with something "new" - they don't add the doo-dads at first because the don't need to to sell the product. The new design will sell the product for awhile at least. I just bet us scoop lovers would...

    i saw the 05 commercial just now.

    I lucked off. I usually set the VCR to get a couple of hours of "stuff" for when I finally get away from the puter. That way I can FF past the commericals that seem to come every 3 minutes these days. Yesterday I read people talking about OC. I never heard of OC and was wondering what it was...

    Wife's jealous...what should I do now?

    I bought a new low end 76 Chevy van - my wife (as of then) started "I never get anything" which was bull - I had to build a house close to her family to get her to shut up.

    Tall Men Rejoice!

    I am only 6'2" but I like hearing people say there is more room. I have long legs and pretty long arms and really would rather feel I had the room to "feel right" in the cars. I have not only never owned a Mustang but I have never even been in a Mustang - let alone driven one. I was a...

    Reducing weight.

    Don't forget useless wiring/connectors/sensors. I ripped about 500 miles of wire out of my motorcycle. I made many parts smaller/lighter - to me horns/speedometers/belt gards/turn signals are all useless. If you really want to reduce weight - toss out everything that you can and the car will...

    Touch up on the bubbly as* of the Saleen ( PICS)

    I still think that wing was made from the same molds that Gerber used in the early 50s for that high chair / serving tray for triplets. And I guess they think a lot of people under 3 foot tall will be interested - what else would be the reason for the stepping points under the doors.

    Looking forward to the Vert...

    I really like verts also - but in my case I am using rationalization (I do that sometimes) on myself. The roof line on the 05 is making it much easier for me to "don't even think about a vert" but the fact is - I am on my motorcycle all the time and I have a cool little twin engine Sea-Doo...
