My 85 SVO

[Bob Barker]

There's more to a Mustang than just a Mustang! I've taken everything off this car with my own bloody knuckles and put it all back like I wanted it, mostly... and mine is a step more from that, it's a 4cyl that will run circles on most factory cars, and can corner too! (not with these wheels though)

You should get Boy a mustang, a really really crappy one, with a 2.3n/a engine, and hahve him eco mod it! I know a guy with a 2.3 notch from '88 that got 41mpg on a recen 600+ mile road trip. It would be a great opportunity to learn autos and they are dirt cheap too!

Just rattling yer cage son. Mustang's are fine for people who can't handle a real car.

He had a 4 banger Stang that sat for 2 years before giving it away. I told Boy last year that if he got straight A's on his report card that I'd get him his own VX ... he's still borrowing mine (OK, maybe my logic is a little flawed there).

He needs to learn the practical side of vehicle maintenance before he starts dreaming of a street rod. It would just be wrong on so many levels for the kid to drive a hotter car than me & since I drive an 03 Eclipse ...
