LOL...Don't worry I tweeked her, I went out of my way to point out it's so loud because it's blowing half burnt fuel out of the tail pipes and it's super not regular; from the horrified look on her face I think she thought I was telling the truth.
I rescued a '95 Honda Civic VX from a co-worker, rebuilt the engine, and drove it for almost 3 years getting 39mpg in town... driving it like I stole it. I had fun making it run, customizing it, driving something I'd resurrected, and laughing at the ricers when they wanted to race (because my Honda 'tastefully' fit the profile, after all).Jeff, I hear you, I've got a couple of friends that don't get, in fact one of my co-worker's wife thinks it's cars like ours causing the world's climate to change, she told me so, she hates what it stands for. (She's one of those Prius drivers in the fast lane driving 3 miles under the speed limit to slow everyone down) She feels old cars should have to pass the same safety and smog requirements as brand new cars or not be allowed on the road.
On the other hand my wife gets it' date=' she loves the cruises and fully supports every dime we put into it, in fact she's the one who encouraged me to buy it in first place. Sure makes life a lot easier when your wife is fully on board.[/quote']
In July 2010, I was Jonesin' for a cool 'muscle car' hot-rod, and a friend had a 2010 Camaro 2SS that was going to soon get repo'd. I was actually considering taking over the note. My wife talked me out of getting into a $600+ car payment and finding something I could restore and make my own. I had already been eyeballing the Rustang on Craigslist, and decided to get it. She was cool with it because she grew up with two older brothers who would take off on a Saturday morning and come home $100 poorer with some old pile on a trailer with the truck bed full of parts. A few weeks later, their 'pile' would be running and a few weeks after that, would be the envy of all their buddies. Then after they got bored with their hot rod, sold it and took off the next Saturday morning and started all over again.
She's been very supportive of my project, and while she may not fully 'get it' herself, she at least understands that I do. There are times when we both wish I would've waited for a drivable car, but we both agree that I'm too far into it to give up and it will all be worth it when it's all back together again.
I'm sure I read a long article about the "real" pollution "cost" of building and running a prius vs a hummer (1? 2?).Jeff, I hear you, I've got a couple of friends that don't get, in fact one of my co-worker's wife thinks it's cars like ours causing the world's climate to change, she told me so, she hates what it stands for.

Hey Pegas, couldn't help notice the Prius across the street from the photo you posted of your Mustang in the gallery, they're every where!I Get It, I tryed not get it for awhile and spent a few years playing with motorbikes, mostly dirt/trail bikes, in an effort to limit/reduce the out going cash flow.. BUT, every time I saw and sweet ride roll/rumble past or parked somwhere... I would get a feeling of excitment mixed with Shit I wish that was mine, In the end I gave up the bikes, while I enjoyed rideing, I just wasn't into them like the others were, So I went back to what I loved an knew, Now I've got 2 mustangs and I'm looking for a third.
MMMM bugger never noticed that little p.o.s in the back ground, Photo was taken at a mates place, he's in Florida...Hey Pegas, couldn't help notice the Prius across the street from the photo you posted of your Mustang in the gallery, they're every where!
Got to love the sound of those early Mustang engines, here's mine.
I believe you were probably exceeding the speed limit.
Nahhh, it was still in second gear, now after it shifted into high, that's a different matter...notice that's not on the clip :angel:I believe you were probably exceeding the speed limit.
Born into it too. My grandfather was a graduate of the Henry Ford Trade School when Henry Ford was teaching it. I have owned one non-Ford car in 35 years. Please let your Mom know these are in the lobby of the WHQ right now:I got it almost at birth. I was born into a Ford family. My mother worked at Ford World HQ in Dearborn and lots of family members worked on the lines for Ford. My first car was a 65 Honey Gold coupe with a 289. Restored that car all thru high school and sold it when i graduated and bought a new 1982 Mustang GT. Still looking to get another 82 GT someday. Ive had lots of stangs from 65 thru 2000 model years included the lastest purchase a 1972 Mustang Sprint Sportsroof. Dont think i'll ever lose "it"

Awesome to see the best BOSSES ever. You can have those crazy 429's with the detuned shotgun motor stuffed into them - the Boss 302's and 351 were much better balanced and handling cars and looking thanks to Shinoda and probably names you would know more than us.
