A 4 banger Mustang? WTF?

But yeah the old mustangs are the best, like the 1966-1970 models.

Dont go for that Civic, there are better models out there. If anything, buy the 96-00 VTi.

Or find a decent 5.0LX.

Thats what im looking at now. I found a teal colored LX with 86k miles, its a 1990.
Yea, you didnt know there were 4 cyl mustangs? Wow, they've had them sincce the Mustang IIs to the 5.0 style.

Im also thinkin about takin a Ford crown vic P71(copcar). Got beefed up engines and suspensions.

I'm not a huge fan of the 1980-1996 Mustangs. But still, it's better than having a Civic 8)

Theyre ugly, but fast when properly modified.

Just like most American cars. [lol]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I have ridden(?) in a 92 5.0 with my dad. He borrowed it and we had fun! It's really fast and grips awesome. I'm not sure if it should be a first car, though. We don't want you wrapping it around a tree.

My two cents here...

Nothing fancy, a regular '99 Renault Laguna 1.9dti wagon (well, added extra headlights...it's mighty dark up here on the arctic circle in mid winter). Perfect for a family man like me. I guess I'm a minority here ("oldish" with children), or am I?

And of course my secondary ride, the Toyota 1000 pick-up. Which can be seen on my sig. It's my "project" car that I've gradually fixing and upgrading for a couple of years now.

I while ago, my mum's car got rear-ended by a truck and it was written off. (i said this somewhere else)

Anyway, the insurance paid out (more than we expected) and my folks decided to get a white 2000 Vectra. What do I think? It's a piece of shiznit.

It's got a V6 so it goes alright, but the gearbox is quirky, the interior is cheap and shiznit, and it has really heavy steering at low speeds. Not to mention the fact that it's a Holden and it looks totally ghey. I feel like a tool driving this thing :oops:

Edit: and one more thing, the engine pings because the previous owners filled it with regular unleaded, when it requires PULP.

So I was tooling down to the causeway a while back, saw this in a yard and thought.. why not? Why NOT!! Now it's mine.. WOOHOO!!

Car is Nissan Skyline R34 25GT - 2.5l 6 cyl, single turbo, 5 spd man, RWD, 4WS, TCS etc etc. Soon to come - 3" stainless turbo back exhaust, stage one lowering, black tint, GPS tracking and a decent stereo to replace the friggin disco lights thing in it now. Only gripe so far - the horn sounds like a freakin moped!!

Be jealous. Be very jealous!! :twisted:
