Now That 2003 is Over, What Did You Accomplish ON Your Stang?

Like a true ricer, I worked on my "intake and exhaust"....and a few other drivetrain things. I picked up a roached 4.6 T-Bird with 140,000 miles from my Aunt for $500 bucks that I drive everyday. The last time I changed my oil was in May and I've driven 1080 miles since. I spent about $2000 on the Mustang in 2003 - no big deal....
