Quad City Area Mustangs

[DarkFireGT]

thanks. it will be. hopefully I can get it done this year. if only i'd have put it on the trailer backwards. I would've saved a mint bringing it back from California and would probably have the money to have it half done lol. towing it that way, the magnum could only take it for an hour. By the time I got it out of this guy's backyard (which I must say the magnum had no problem navigating up the tight, winding, and very steep hill), and got it into town (about an hour from his house), the Magnum was sitting pretty low. So after renting a U-Haul truck and getting it all the way back here, I get out, go to unload it, and THEN ask myself, "why didn't I just load it backwards to take the weight off the Magnum?" lol. Oh well, it's here. I did manage 28mpg with the Magnum on the way back, so I guess that helps. But I think the U-Haul got 6.

Did anyone take out their stangs in the last couple of weeks since the weather has been warm?

 

[mustangramair]

Mine doesn't come out till i am sure all the salt is off the road, there has to be a big thunderstorm to wash to roads off. I wanted to take it out though.

 

[qcrun98]

I hear ya. It didn't seem like there was any salt left on the roads so I took the chance. I love how muscle cars run in the cool weather.

I had mine out for almost a week. There wasn't any salt/sand left on the roads around IC for two weeks. I had it out enough that it felt slow again....

the best part about getting our cars out is the first time you hammer it, it feels soooooo fast then after a couple times your not afraid any more and its not as big of a rush then you go home get out the credit card and start ordering in hopes that the new mods will give you a fix, which will only hold you over for a few months tops then you get that itch again, its a wicked cycle

ditto to the last post

Do any of you guys know of a locksmith in the Quad Cities that can make me a key for my mustang by just the locks since I do not have a key for the doors and/or hatch? Just wondering thanks.

 

[mexis97gt]

lindquist ford made me one for my focus when i had it, they might be able to help you out.it was like 20 bucks and was a FORD key

 

[qcrun98]

I went to Sexton and tried to get a key made by my vin number and they told me that I needed to contact a lock smith because they don't go back to 89 on VIN numbers.

 

[qcrun98]

Anyone wanna try and get a get together going for spring or early summer for Quad City area stangs.

 

[DarkFireGT]

Any locksmith should be able to do it. I think I paid $20 for mine in my II.

 

[qcrun98]

Cool thanks alot I wasn't sure if it had to be a specific automotive locksmith since the keys are different or if any one could do it.

 

[super302]
