Now you've gone too far. You can call me fat, lazy, stupid, late for dinner, odious, or even a Chevy-lover, but if you call me that again, I'm going to demand pistols at 20 paces.

 

Really?

You really should put an ellipsis after the "but", not a period. Here's one you can use…

I think you mean Democrat. A Democrate would be some sort of box.

 

I see no misquote in my book. (but maybe I'm reading from a book that shows the bigger picture).
Calling someone "a fool of the highest order" would be reserved to someone who put all their life savings in Bernie Maidoff's ponzie scheme, or someone who invested everything in Enron stock before the collapse,
not someone who paid a few thousand extra to have a nice car, modified the way they want it. There are millions of people who have spent way more on their car than it's worth now, so what's the difference? You could be calling almost everyone who bought a new car a fool. In reality, most folks
who buy new cars can afford the extra expense to have a nice car that they don't have to spend alot of time fixing. Their time is worth more than the extra money they spent.

 

I agree. I know of a car restored to BOSS 302 specs, right down to "correct" bolts on the BOSS engine, started life as an F code sportsroof. Guy altered it to look like a mach1 when in college, drove it until it was a rusty hulk, all the while dreamed it was a BOSS. Years later, dragged it out of the back yard and had it done. Could have had a real BOSS for less, but it wouldn't have been that car. He wasn't doing it for the money. I could name at least six other such examples.

 

Rat fink - 2011 Ford Mustang
2+2GT - 66 Mustang 2+2GT

Who would you really go to as a source for 1st generation Mustang info? It's obvious Rat fink is in the wrong section of this forum.

Go back and take a look at post #22. Those pictures tell you exactly what 289 HP mean. 289 HP definitely didn't mean 289 horsepower, as no such motor was produced.

 

Where the heck is this abortion going?

 

All right, I apologize to everyone, about everything, I was wrong and everyone is correct.

 

What i got from this post is that 2+2 is not a dem which I'm very happy to learn. The HP thing always confused me so I'm glad to get that straight. I do know what an FNG is as most military guys do so you might want to tread a little easier there Rat Fink, FNG.

 

I don't think sarcasm is what is needed.

I disagree with 2+2 all the time. I don't think I've ever needed to call him names though and we manage to get along somewhat civilly

What's important is that if you make a point and it is challenged defend it with facts and not emotion so everyone can understand how an opinion was formed and then everyone learns a new way to look at something.

For the record I read 289 HP and see 289 Horse Power because of all the chevy guys where the chevy motor cubic inches has magically become the HP they all had (like the might 350 horse mouse block )

I've only ever referred to the 289 as a 289...or as a 289 HiPo.

 

Dunno, but it's been fun. The O.P.'s question was long answered, I think, it's a matter of whether you like coupes (I do, despite owning a FB) and how well it is restored.
