So how does that saying go again......oh yeah

SPENDING MONEY I DON'T HAVE

ON THINGS I DON'T NEED

TO IMPRESS PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW:leghump:
As far as my shit box is concerned all the suspention is done and the blower will be on the way this week as well as the gauges. I also talked to jim jr about the short block already and I haven't even blown this one up yet.I am spending next years money already.

Theres been a lot of things I've passed up on because the job is slowing down. My OT bought car parts. But theres no more OT. So I've slowed down a lot.

I have never kept any car I've owned stock. It's an illness. When I bought the car from Roush, I told the wife I wouldn't have to mod it because it came with a suspension, and the supercharger was going on. :evillaugh:

Ripped out the Roush suspension, changed gears twice, and a host of other crap, 70K later:beerdrink: I'm still not done, lol.

My car will never be done, the mods just get cheaper as the big stuff gets done.

  • I spent about 6k in the first 2 months that I had it. Then I realized ah shit I could have bought F/I!!! So now im saving for a turbo or a s/c. However as much as I complain about spending all that money, Theres only 1 thing I would probably buy different or hold out on buying if I did it all over again. I picked everything out carefully so I wouldn’t have to do it again.

I guess you could leave it stock, but it just doesn't feel like it's "yours". Even in my old Celica, I changed out the head unit and the antenna.

I've just gone completely overboard on this damn Mustang though. 17K and still counting. There is plenty I'd change if I could do it all over again though.

I have had my GT for 1 month and only have a bassani race ab. I want to do more, but I am not sure what to do next. Either a few bolt ons this summer or save up for a while for a supercharger.

MGW shifter... I went home from the dealer, ordered the shifter. Got it a couple weeks after they made it. Put it in. Probably before the car rolled 100 miles.
