RE: Mustand might go bye bye
nah man i get on it alot but im smart about it.
i dont need to race cars to know how fast mine is.
i have street raced in my other 5 liter (monte carlo) and the car i was racing took a turn too fast (i was slowing down). he cut me off and went sideways, flipped twice and hit a tree.
i ran over to his car and there was nothing left. he was thrown through the windshield and was walking.. i was stunned. simply asked him if he was ok and i was out of there.. cops were coming from both directions.
i'd say that it was a smart move of me to slow down because look what could have happend to me... now i dont street race not just for my safety but for the other person safety too. racing is like peer pressure. you get pressured into doing stupid ****.
thats all i was trying to say
believe me you learned something from this

RE: Mustand might go bye bye
oh i know man i just couldn't believe he could walk after that
i had 911 dialed on my cell phone ready to push send
i wanted to help him but i also didnt want to get a street racing ticket. they matched his tires with the tread marks on the road. the next day he told me if they could have proved i was there we both would have lost our licenses.
glad i didnt stick around BUT the cops did see me leaving. its a 4 mile straight road then it turns into windy turns. i could see the cops from miles away.

I've always thought the FOX body cars were for teeny boppers.
Who's name is on the title, your moms?
Get a lawyer, agree to move out of your city, and get a home of your own. They just might waive the points.
Surely you don't want to be one of those 23 yr olds living with mom and dad, driving an outdated Ford!
Good luck...

RE: Mustand might go bye bye
my mom thought it was funny...[&:] and my dad was "disapointed" but i pay for insurance and i paid for the car, so its pretty much like they are letting me learn my lesson.
and lookinforastang, im sorry i didnt mean to snap, i was just in a bad mood and i thought you were being a dick. thats pretty wierd your buddy walked away from that. i wish i could say the same, a good friend of mine died in a motorcycle accident 2 weeks ago. he flipped his bike and hit a pole at and estimated 130mph...

track is lame! Everyone and their mothers street race, get over it. I say keep it and built it up, you know the second you sell it you will be mad, and itching to get another.
best of luck man, sucks that you got caught but it happens.
btw: how are your parents taking it?

Just be glad your parents are "cool" about it because some kids parents make them sell the car.
Anyways do you have any ideas what your going to to?

RE: Mustang might go bye bye
I like it a lot, I like how there isnt all that extra efi junk under the hood, but i have had my own problems, I just put a new carb on and the throttle kept sticking at high idle, easy fix with a few washers. I dont like how it needs to warm up first or it just dies on me, but i couldnt be happier.
