Returning, new member, just had a baby!
And her name is Ford =]
Actually her name is Elise
Finally after 2 years of driving a crappy car(it got depressing)
SORRY IF THIS POST SEEMS LIKE THE NAMING AND SPECS FOR EVERYTHING IS IN LIKE BEGINNER AUTO MECHANICS, I WROTE THIS POST FOR ANOTHER FORUM WHERE NOT EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT CARS, I WORRTE IT FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULDNT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING
Got a new car today, sold my old crappy 94 Mirage Wednesday
She a beaut!
Few things wrong with her:
1. Its an automatic.... switching from 2 years driving stick blows... I put the car in park today at 3 miles an hour at a gas station (not in the street)
2. Has some crappy chrome taillights that I need to switch for OEM's [guy who sold me the car says $60 for a pair of OEM's... time to save lol]
3. No stereo =[ Got her for a good price and I would have switched the stereo out anyways, Ill have one in within a week
4. Its a V6 =[ Was thinking about getting a GT but thats way too much $ for gas at my age, V6 is perfect, has nice power too.
My old 94 Mirage:

Its a video I made before I knew whats good looking and whats overkill lol, those stickers on the side of the car in the video were off within a week lol.
Gunna make Elise even more beautiful [not body kits or crap like that]:
1. OEM Taillights =]
2. Some sort of white rims NO CHROME!
3. 305 Tires
4. Maybe Halogen HID Headlights (still deciding whether its over kill)
5. I know I said no body kits, but if its OEM thats fine - Cobra body kit with the "cobra" logo on the back bumper deleted, so its just a flat bumper.
6. Sequential taillight mod ($100 for a sick mod) - they make your turn signal go like this:
(yes its street legal, they have them as on option for 09 and up)
7. This $10 decal but looks friggen sweet:
(only decal going on my car along with pedobear)
8. Suspension - KYB Struts + Ford racing suspension
9. Maybe a different hood thats not overkill but i like the stock one
10. Ford Emblem on the grille, haven't seen it done yet, but I want it to look different then others who have the pony on the grille, even tho I have an aftermarket grille
11. Theres a few other things I want but cant think of.
Hope you guys liked my presentation =]

Your wife must be a saint...a NEW baby and a NEW Mustang! Keep yourself out of hot water and take out the trash once in a while. Changing a diaper once in a while also helps. Learn how to sleep sitting up with your head resting on the top rail of the crib. Trust me, those days are coming.
Man, I miss those times!
