its a big city, and the murders are really only in certain areas. They tend to only do the dumb crap on their "turf"

I actually live out in the burbs too so im away from all that. Also its getting cold, that # will drop to almost nothing as they dont like the cold haha.

Id be more worried about the car getting stolen then getting shot haha

Well lets see...

1. Get car out of shop (will post what all was done later.)
2. Pay off car.
While paying off car...
3. Get some Dynamat Extreme for my car so I can hear myself think.
4. Put down new carpet (since I'll have it stripped inside)
5. Deluxe Door Panels (since the other ones look like crap that came with the car.)
6. Get cowl fixed (to prevent leaks on new carpet)
7. Add A/C
8. Save and save and save to have it painted in a few years (once car is paid off)

In between that...
a. Drive it to a few car shows with my brother in his car (mainly the 45th Mustang Anniversary)

b. Decide what else I will want to do when the money comes around.
