check the car and see if it is made on a Wednesday. Thursday every one is starting to drink. Friday through Monday every one is drunk. Tuesday everyone is hung over. and Wednesday they are all sober again and can think straight. Hens the term the Wednesday ford that never dies. I had a 1989 mustang 2.3 last winter that i jumped, ran into things, put into the ditch 2 time once at 40 the other at 60. had the hood ran over with my friends truck he also ran into me at 30 mph to try to kill my car. i dropped the clutch at 60 into 1st gear many times nothing killed this car. the car had over 300,000 miles on it when i started this stuff. The cops band it off the road

Hey mac9128 check to see what day that motor was put together chances are it was on a Wednesday. there is a saying thursday every one starts to drink. Friday trough Monday every one is drunk. Tuesday people are hung over. And Wednesday they are sober. Hens the term the Wednesday ford that never dies. i had a 1989 mustang last winter that was made on a Wednesday that would not die. i jumped it, I top it out for as long as I could, i kept dropping the clutch at 60 into 1st gear. and nothing ever happend to it. i ran it into the yellow poles at the gas station. drove it into the ditch at 40 3 times. i played bumper tag with my friends car with it. my other friend ran over my hood with his truck and ran into me 4 times on the road. just to say hi that one hurt tho don't do that one.
what the hell
