No more Mustang!

[BennyBlown2v]

Well, it's final! The new owners drove from Tennessee to pickup the car today. I'm glad to have her sold after having it listed one place or another for almost two years (this Nov.), but it hurts taking a loss on all the time I've put into it

Plans are buy a daily driver, finish my drag bike build, and save money for school (gotta pay to play I guess hah).

Glad you got her sold, but your car was awesome. School is most definitely more important then cars though....What type of DD do you have in mind?

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Looking for a Jeep XJ, still fun and can haul my bikes around

 

[wyldpny]

Yeah it always sux when you have to let one of them go but like was said school is certainly more important.
Besides, it just allows you to build an even better one down the road

 

[02nightmaregt]

Damn that sucks dude. At least you can pay for school now. If it weren't for the GI bill i don't think id even be in school because i don't have it in me to sell my car. But then again you have a drag bike so i guess your not gonna be too bored.

Hell yes.


Sucks you sold the 'Stang, but i'm sure in time you'll get another. Plus the bikes will hold your speed fix for now, I hope...

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Haha yeah, thanks guys. I have been pretty fed up with not having any money to do a motor/fuel/drivetrain upgrade and make the car where I always wanted it - now I have the money to start saving for more important things, and hopefully get my drag bike situated (bikes are WAAAAY cheaper than Mustangs, incase anybody didn't know lol).

Heres a pic right now - got a ***** load of parts waiting to go on already haha.

She ran 10.60's at 131mph consistently before lowering it with 1.72-1.80 60fts. That's with mods equal to just a catback, K&N drop in, and a handheld tuner I'm hoping to get the 60's down into the 1.5's, make a bit more power, and run some mid 9's on motor. It will stay looking like a street bike, probably forever...just so I can run street legal series and of course bust some punks who don't know what they are dealing with

 

[BurningRubber]

That is a bad looking bike man.

One of the best looking Yamaha's i've seen.

 

[BennyBlown2v]

^^Thanks man! Surprisingly, I rarely get comments...probably because I never clean it and beat the crap out of it haha!

Sucks that the mustang had to go, but it sounds like you've got your prioraties in line. Just Give work and school 110% and no doubt you'll have something even nicer in the future. I drove cheap old VWs for a long time before I could afford my first 'stang and have continued to work hard, it's been about 8yrs since I got the '93 and I bought the Cobra last year. This year I traded in my Yamaha FZ1 on an '08 R6. Kinda' justifies all that OT and the BS I put up with at work!

 

[LaserSVT]

Congrats Benny Its a hard thing to see something you worked so hard on go away but after school youll be set to make some serious money and build an unbelievable Stang

The bike is pretty cool too I see you are expecting it to be on its side

Haha neva! But if it came to that, I'd rather have a little $10 piece of plastic break than rash my fairings and bend the frame I'm going to look at some jeeps tomorrow, and maybe some Rangers and Exploders too (honestly, I'd prefer to stay with a Ford product, simply because I know how they work all too well haha).

 

[LaserSVT]

Explorers are so cheap around here. i stare at a black Limited V-8 with the tan interior across the street from my work for $5000. I think its an 03? But really nice looking and only 77K on it.

 

[SilverBullet00]

Damn, I hate to see the mustang go... but that is a sick looking bike!

I wish the girlfriend would let me get one

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Found a new daily mule! 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport! super low miles, clean inside and out, perfect for hauling my bike haha...

 

[BurningRubber]

Looks really clean man, nice buy.

I love my Cherokee, almost 177k and it is in better mechanical shape than the Mustang.

lol yeah I feel a lot safer driving this around than my stang pushing that stock short block

 

[02nightmaregt]

Looks nice. I've always like jeeps. Actaully that was my first whip.
