It's only 1440 miles. Assuming that you get at least 20 mpg, that's only 72 gallons. I paid as low as $1.85 last week, so let's use that number. That brings us to $133.20 (getting home is your problem). And you could save some weight by just putting the hard top on for the drive out, and then driving back with no top at all (might want to bundle up).

That gets me a hard top for less than $500. Let's do it. I'll even buy you dinner when you get here!

Seriously though, I cam across these wheels, thinking about making the guy a ridiculously low offer like $800.

It's a 1998 right? Might go to the junkyard this weekend, I could pick up the stuff for cheap if you wanted cruise. Just check and see if there is a plug near the charcoal canister which would mean it's prewired.

Cheap gas for sure. KC airport was the lowest I have seen in years.

There have been a few Mustang drivers that have really pissed me off but this one makes me want to sell both of them and buy a WRX STI.

Funny how he went to the one manufacturer that didn't take the bailout the day after giving a speech about how wonderful it was.

When I was in school we were chased every day by Velociraptors and T-Rex. A lot of my slower friends never graduated. I would have killed to have bread bags for my feet. We couldn't afford barb wire so Mom would have us walk through broken glass on snow days. I also recall only the rich kids had baked potatoes.
