Well I was a Chevy guy and never even owned a Ford until 2001. I bought my first Mustang in August of 2001. I bought my 25th Mustang on Monday. I will be looking at my possible 26th tomorrow. My personal car (the one I keep through all the buying and selling) is Fox #3 (1991 LX hatch) that I bought in April 2002. It was bone stock down to the paper filter. Now it has >600rwhp and 14 points of cage in it.

3 months and 27 days (i think)

154k

2 problems that have come to my attention in the last month

#1) car makes tapping noise when turning left
#2) tranny may be over heating (the AOD t-handle is exerting alot of heat)

none of these problems have been investigated by a real mechanic nor do I have the money to invest into fixing them.

i am just another poor teenage stang owner who barely affords to put gas in the tank

Thanks for the replies everyone. Sorry to hear about your troubles, Lookinforastang. Maybe nothing is seriously wrong. At any rate, thanks again for sharing.

Long enough to know better. Everytime I start it, a cop rolls by. Then I check the scanner and boil the hides. Never get any heat off of my euro or jap sports cars, but this stang draws the popos.

I feel you man. I'm paranoid like a MF. One more point=no more license for me. Damn motorcycles!
By the way, my mom helped put it into perspective today over the phone. She said, "Your not 17 anymore. You're 32 years-old dammit! Stop getting tickets." I know...right?

The car ran cool as hell after you replaced the radiator, huh? I had to replace mine too, not long ago. Thanks for the reply.

Justa wanted to say I was a straight die hard chevy fan for as long as I remember . I had just sold my 94 Z28 that I had modded and spent 3 years making . Idropped about 7,000 grand in the car , I had went over to a LT4 swap on it . But things change I get bored easy and I started looking around everywhere . And then I get the phone call and a guy tells me " hey I heard you are looking for a car" . I said yeah. Well after that it was all history !!! Ibought a 1990 ford mustang 5.0 25th anniversary , 7-up edition. I can honestly say that I have never been so content of keeping a car till I bought this one . I am a 5.0 freak till the end. This is the best sports car ever made !! oh yeah I bought it with 60,000 on the clock . I will try and get some pics as soon as I get my new camera . Thanks for all the support !!
