Thanks. Big believer in the V1 myself. Great bit of hardware.

I'm trying to force the snow to stop!

Just ordered a set of 19x10 Boss 302 rims, black/machined face, with 285/35/19's for the back of my GT. I'll get my snow's swapped onto the stock rims, and move the stock P-Zero's onto the 19x9 Boss 302 rims I got my snows on to run on the front. I'm looking forward to have some extra grip. The 255's are just way to easy to spin with the 3.73 gears.

At this rate I'll get to try them out in June or so....

Sounds nice, but buying new rims guarantees another six weeks of winter even better than Punxsutawney Phil...

I'm not usually a fan of rainy days but today's downpours are a welcome sight! Snow melting and salt washing away! Woohoo!

Agreed. Compared to snow, it's beautiful outside

Should we register the Massachusetts MF'ers on American Muscle as a Mustang Club? Seems like some nice perks. Although we probably already get the discount, a free t-shirt with order would be nice. Since Paul is the Chapter President, probably best for him to register and get his free shirt.

My Mustang can't seem to stay in hibernation. And I had just bought a cover for it too!

The winter beater Eclipse's clutch is toasted to the point it will not move at all and left me stranded last night. A new clutch isn't that expensive but changing it is very labor-intensive even without the entire undercarriage being made of rust. I'm so sick of that money pit I'm going to try to sell it for parts or scrap it. Which means the Mustang is back on the road, and will be until I've saved up for another winter beater. Something built within the last 10-15 years this time. ****ing tin worm.

I really ought to look into a touchless car wash membership...

If you find a good one in our area, let me know! The Haffner's touchless near me is garbage.
