    "Blue Angels" edition 2012 Ford Mustang GT

    Beautiful car, but I'm not a big graphics person. Just give me that paint and the mods and leave the logos off.

    Overrated fox upgrades and trims

    Maybe a better title would've been Least Bang For The Buck or Smallest Benefit For The Time & Effort Expended. My pet peeve is "custom" paint. I've been shopping CL for just the right car. Sometimes, as I'm reading through the description, condition and mods on the car, I catch myself...

    Built to Cruise hits Tulsa

    OK. I'm having a major envy attack. Must suppress... ...ah, screw it. I'm still envious. Awesome car, guys.

    Lx VS GT

    I definitely like the LX look far better than the GT.

    Looking for first car

    Have you tried Craigslist? Does it have to be an automatic? You could learn to drive a stick in 10 minutes and have that skill for a lifetime.

    There is a guy down here who runs a Fairmont wagon at VIR. It's a hoot (and pretty quick too). Dave’s Ford Fairmont

    More road racing pics and vids

    I really enjoyed that, especially the video. That looks like about as much fun as you can have with your pants on. I went to Kent State back in the '70s, not too far down 88 from Nelson. A buddy of mine had an H-production Bugeye Sprite he ran up there. Your video brought back some great...

    old school wheels

    Those vintage wheels look best on vintage cars just as 18-19-20" wheels with ultra low-profile tires look like ass on them.

    Looking into buying this mustang. What do you guys think?

    If he does get back to you, ask the seller for the number of the shop that did the engine and dyno work. Ask if he has receipts. That will tell you a lot. If he can't produce receipts, best to stay away. It is interesting that there are 12 bids on the car. They could be from locals who have...

    Advice on a car I am considering

    I'm in the market for an older Mustang and I check CL every few days to see what's changed. (OK, that's a lie---I check every day.) I've been at this since last fall and it's amazing how long some of these cars go without moving because guys will sit on them forever because, "I have X-thousands...

    Who's owned the most cars?

    I just noticed a Freudian slip here. It's a Dodge Caravan, of course. We use it to haul around our immense dogs. :D

    The time has come...EVIL SSP gets painted

    Great choice! Personally, I'm not wild about two-toned cars except for some '50s cars like a Corvette with the contrasting color in the cove. I know a lot of people like their choice of two-tone paint jobs, but if they go to sell it, they've got to find someone else who is in love with it as...

    86mph in a 45mph

    Kyle Busch was ticketed today for doing 128 in a 45. It'll be interesting to see what he gets.

    Anyone heard of Evapo-rust?

    I flew into Misawa several times. I was in VF-151 flying the F-4 Phantom in the mid-80s. We stayed in the BOQ and hung out at the O Club between flights. When KAL 007 was shot down in 1983, they set up a tent city for us at the end of the runway and we practically lived out there in the weeds...
