Apparently you have no worries about cross contamination.......

While I would never own a Ford, I have no issue with Mustangs personally. The Mustang has a rich performance heritage and has been around a long time. Ford has sold a lot of them over the years, and in just 7 more years, they will celebrate their 50th anniversary. The car has remained true to it's original intent - a sporty 2 door coupe or convertible that is obtainable and affordable. And some of them will kick a Corvette's butt too!

Having appreciation for a friends car is .

My bud just finished his project car. On pump gas it made 440hp and 285 lb/ft of torque on the dyno. He says with race gas and increased boost it will make around 600hp. I took a ride in it yesterday and it is fast. Maybe I'll post it and watch everyone make fun of it because it is a... shhh...Honda Civic.

I don't know...your Vette looks a little jealous sitting back there....with all the pictures you took of my car, it might be a little worried that you will be trading up to a Stang



It may not be as fast...but it sure looks sweet!!



Thanks for letting me use the lift and doing the oil......now if I just had the room in my garage for a lift....hmmm

JEALOUS???? TRADING UP???? At least make the smack talk credible...

There are lot's of mustang folks around here too, and I knew that they would appreciate your car. It's truly a nice car man.

And as far as the lift is concerned I keep telling you, I will sell it to you cheap. With this house I'd love to trade for a two poster....

(Jealous.... )
