With all of those points on your license youd probably be doing yourself a favor by getting a ridiculously slow DD, buy a kia or something.

If you do get another GT for the winter, you should consider another set of wheels with winter tires on them. Getting caught in the snowy **** without winter tires sucks ***, especially if there's just 2-3 inches of snow on the ground and the car doesn't want to go anywhere but sideways. I haven't driven on winter tires, but I have known people with RWD cars that use them with great results. Even if you keep the F150, a set of winter tires (although probably much more expensive) should help.

Also, to help prevent 'rust' from the salt, just be sure to wash the car once a week and be certain you blast the **** out of the underbody. That goes for any vehicle driven in the winter.

the big reason i am wanting to keep the truck is because its seriously the most comfortable vehicle ive ever ridden in...loaded with every option...and its decently quick.... gas is killing me...im gonna keep the truck, so no new mustang...i got a new cell phone and got rid of all my data packages, and i cancelled my movie channels, and im gonna stop eating out as much...that should balance out the gas issue...we will see!

still saving money since im about $1500 short of my car running lol...should have that covered by january though

the guy with the black gt i posted in here was gonan put tires on it, and was ready to trade me...but i couldnt do it lol, i love this truck
what do you do for a living? sounds like you are riding a fine line. having no spending money sucks.

Did that really bother you that much? Ive seen your posts in other threads, for someone that dishes it out you sure cant take it.

full time student and i work at UPS...my only bills are my phone and my car insurance...the mustang and truck are paid off, and i buy my own groceries...i live on 150 bucks a week lol...money im using to build my car is anything i can make on the side...some was money my dad left me, and some if from dog sitting for my grandma, doing tree work with my dads friend, buying and flipping some dirt bikes...stuff like that...im not really hurting for cash, but i just spent 1500 on an engagement ring, 5k on swap parts, and 1000 on wheels/tires for my truck...and ive only made 5k this year according to my pay stubs...i usually bring in about 300 extra a month on random stuff, but i by no means have money *im not really strapped either...ive got a nice cushion in my savings account just incase anything was to come up*...any spending money i do get, i spend taking my gf out and stuff like that, so its always tight for me....i have a problem telling her no lol, shes too damn cute...spend money on her i dont really have, so everything else gets kinda strapped lol
