What is goin on with the stripes on your shirt?

I like how the picture is washed out and 80s looking already.

Are you sure its an extra $300? My main driver is a 2004 mustang gt, and when I added the cruddy 99 explorer my insurance went up about $10 per month. Of course this all depends on where you live and a bunch of other stuff.

I had a 95 stick shift mustang when I was 19. I drove it in the snow and learned pretty quickly that it sucked poo poo in the snow. If you insist on driving that in the snow get a couple bags of kitty litter and a small shovel and throw it in the trunk. Or find a big heavy RWD car like a crown vic.

Sorry, but it was probably less the car sucking poo poo and more you. Even with no traction control and no abs I didn't get stuck once in a buffalo winter, and its because I bought snow tires. Didn't even need anything in the trunk.

Nah, like I said before, the most I'd do is a vanity plate and louvers on the back window, because something about louvers just appeals to me.

This is genuinely a huge reason why I bought my mustang. I knew louvers would be plentiful.

edit: I always like a reason to post this picture too. It was on a local craigslist for $3500, I wish I had the money to buy it at the time.

Update on Not Driving Like I Want To Ruin My Car:
Went to the parking lot, and saw what I think was a drug deal go down with a guy in a black Mitsubishi Eclipse? I accelerated really fast near his car, but he didn't look impressed. Mind you, I probably shouldn't try to gain the respect of anyone that drives a lovely 3rd Gen Eclipse anyways, because they kinda look like poop.

He didn't look impressed because he can hear you miss your shifts. Also because that's a dumb thing to do.

He's gonna blow the engine while trying to show off to a homeless guy drinking a 40 in an empty parking lot.

Does someone here have to mail you a laptop fan now? What else are we going to have to send down the line?

I forgot how much you paid for it but if you get out of this with under a thousand bucks lost then you should consider yourself super lucky

Mine isn't a shitbox, thank you very much. IT IS A PERFORMANCE DRIVING MACHINE that I may have bought for only $4.5k. >.>

Seriously, this thing drives lightyears better than my last car.

Now when you say lightyears better....
