well it looks like you succeeded in building a gas guzzler, but
a very cool one i would add. i also say yes to getting a beater as a DD.

I was thinking about getting a toyota tacoma pickup 4 cylinder. I have had to ask a friend 3 times in the past few weeks to have him drive me around to pick stuff up. A pickup would be nice. What kind of gass milage do you get in your truck?

My sister has a 2004 focus 2.3 liter and she gets about 30mpg. Thats better than my 14mpg (its hard to baby it). But if I only get a car that gets 20mpg its not worth it, I would rather keep driving my car. But that would be such a sleeper to have a v8 in a focus. I know you all have seen those videos, badass!! That would just give me a something to use that car for in the far distant future.

ORIGINAL: Mt Twigbert

I say get a beater too.. Hell, I'd even drive a Ford Festiva if I could find one.. Super on gas, don't give a chit if someone dents the **** outa it at the store and the stang dosen't get miles..

I've put on about 10-15 miles on my stang in the last two weeks.. Its for pure pleasure.. Sure I wish I could drive it more but when I do get to drive it then it just feels that much cooler..

P.S. You don't have to drive it.. I washed mine today and its been sitting just like this all day.. I don't need to drive it.. As long as I can look out and see my baby I'm a happy camper..

I took this photo about 2 min ago.. =)


What car do you drive usually when your not driving your stang? By the way your car looks real clean, love those saleen wheels!

My beater gets worse gas mileage than my stang, thanks to a 350 and 35inch tires

Mabye thats a bad idea, the cheapest focus's I see are $4000 with 120,000 miles on it.
