what did you drive before your s197?

[waketek516]

My first car was my 94 Tbird that I bought off my mom. She hardly ever drove it and i bought it in 2000 with only 30k on it. Had SC ground effects & 10th Anniversary rims on it. Car was IMMACULATE:

Then I got a job with a pretty far commute and needed a truck to get though the NY winters. I've always been a jeep fan, so i scooped up an '01 Cherokee Sport. Had a lot of fun with that truck! It had Mud Terrains & was built up for some offroad fun:

Then got another job where I worked from home, and finally accomplished what I've wanted since I was a little kid - A black MUSTANG!. Here it is the day I got it:

And now:

Oh yeah, I had a 93 Lightning with a 75 shot. Had the bottle between the seats! Cops loved that. Believe it or not, I had a cop ask me about the bottle and apparently either liked the truck or had ran out of tickets, but let me go. I was totally busted also racing a supra. That has not happened again.

I never ran the truck in the quarter mile. It ran a 9.60 on motor in the eighth and 9.0 on the juice. Cool truck in the day.

Its interesting to see how many people had New Edge and SN95 cars considering how loyal people around my area seem to be them.

Don't get me wrong.....the old gray ghost was a great car....BUT the s197 is a much MUCH better car.
Better suspension
Better finish
Better Braking
Did I mention better suspension

A question that seems to get asked repeatedly on here and I reply with my patented answer.

I have only owned 4 cars, I still have 3, the 1st, 3rd & 4th, which is my Grabber.

First is my 72 Gran Torino Sport, fastback, from the original owner on Friday, May 20, 88 with 47??? miles at the time. Just like the movie, except for color. I was 20. The good pics I have of it are paper pics, no scanner. Sometime Ill dig them up and take a pic of the pics.

Second was my 02 GT dlx manual I got on Apr 14, 03 with 8464 miles. I was 35. Came with tint.

3rd is my 2000 V6 auto I got when my Dad passed on Dec 15, 05. Its my DD. currently with 655?? miles. No suitable pics of it, but whats to see, its a plain V6. It does have a Traction Loc diff as a result of a TSB fix, dual exhaust with Dynomax Super Turbo muffs, "MUSTANG" bumper letter decals and pinstripes my Dad applied.

4th is the Grabber I got on Feb 27 after the 3rd try ordering. Sold the 02 GT the day after, Feb 28, with 18881? miles. Its the first of all 4 cars to NOT be white. Currently 5820 miles.

Pics of the 02 GT. Only mods I ever got to do on it were trimming the intake silencer, K&N drop in, Roush grille delete, cut open the scoop and some cosmetic paint mods (that Im famous for and most of which will be duplicated on the V6 at some point) as shown in the pics.

I agree completely. I think we just have alot of people who prefer the 94-04s around here. One guy I know even refers to the S197s as boats. Which when you park an S197 next to an earlier car I can kind of see where he's coming from. But I definitely like the new cars alot more. Damn nice looking new edge you had though.



Xporter, those are some nice looking Foxes. The Calypso car looks great with the crome Ponies and the 99 GT wheels but Im especially digging the Pony R's. You dont see those wheels very often.
