Hey guys, I try to stop in every now and then to see how everyone is doing.
Some of you may remember me........... I sold my car in July of '06 the same day it rolled over 200K miles.
I kept the car as nice as I could for the 8.5 years I owned it and I hope the new owner is taking care of it. I had a lot of memories tied up in that car. It ran a 9.0 @ 78mph in the 1/8th when it had like 186K miles on it. It was a heavy bitch at 3700#s, but it was a head turner to the end..........

I miss it occasionally but selling it was the right thing to do for me. I now drive an '07 Accord for my dd.....
It's a 5 speed manual and gets 30-34 miles per gallon.
And my toy since I sold the Mustang is a '93 Honda Civic......
The Civic has a 1.5L motor and puts down 94hp on the dyno while getting 40-42 miles per gallon. It's equipped with Koni shocks, Ground control coil-overs and sticky Dunlop tires.
I know some of you guys don't care for Hondas, but I've always been into turning corners and the SN95 chassis takes a lot of work (read: $$$) to do what I want to do with it. The Civic weighs ~2150lbs and has a much more advanced suspension than the Mustang did. Right now, I'm rebuilding a turbo and once I get it installed (200whp), it should be quicker than my Mustang was, plus it will handle way better. In short, the Civic and Mustang are a world apart, but the Mustang would have cost tons of $$$ to get it where I wanted it and the Civic fits my corner carving needs better. We're all car guys and believe me, the Honda community is as divided as you guys are towards Hondas. I'm a just a car guy and my roots are with the Mustang community..........
With that said, for some reason I miss the Stangnet 94-95 Forums more than I miss my car.
:SNSign:
I hope you guys are doing well and please don't hate, we're all car guys and need to stick together.........
