Hello fellow Stangers!

I've had my mustang for a little under a year, and have now started putting my money where my throttle is. (Not literally, mind you; as cool as it would be to run an ICE off some Benjamins)

What have I done so far...ebay CAI, chopped the cats and fiddled with the resonators in the stock muffler (used to have a turbo H style Flowmaster but I didn't like the bottleneck the H flow produced), slight negative camber up front, just painted her in an orange peel texture using some Tractor Supply Co paint. Wired up some computer speakers that had a baby sub and filter (the inverter is wired to this tactile switch that has this amazing feel and I flip it on and it's like WAAAAYEEEAH)

I have a second block that I'll stroke and polish when I get into school. That's going to be fun

And tons of basic maintenance jobs.

I love my baby, and even though she ran me over into a ditch one time and pinned me I know she loves me back.


P.S.
Anyone slapped a glasspack on their stang before? What'd it sound like? just curious.

And the only assembled picture I have is one a neighbor sent to my mom ("OMG WHO IS THAT AT YOUR HOUSE WHILE YOU'RE IN CHINA?!")*

TBH I miss the previous green a tad bit. The black attracts too much attention from Hondas.

*I had used her house, hence the confusion
