Respect for the v-6ers

RE: Respect for the v-6ers
I get a lot of slack from my students for driving a V6. I just ask them what they are driving. That usually shuts them up, considering most are E-1 marching to school in the morning. A lot of people out there are ignorant to what this car can do, even stock. It is immediately dismissed as a POS, until they see the gap just getting bigger and bigger. I love my V6! where else can you get a car that looks this good, has this much power, and still gets 26 mpg?

Ya alot of people are stupid like that they talk but dont take the time to look at the engine specs of the cars they talk about. I wouldnt mind even having a GT but im proud to own a v6 no matter what i hear.

Wow... I really wanted a GT but I got a V6 because it's cheapers, better gas and I can have fun modding it. A group of kids at school actually thought I had a GT because I have the Pony Package fog lights and a GT rear bumper with 40-series Flowmasters and JBA Shorty headers (which btw does not sound ricey when I punch it) Of course they were kids with a Scion TC and what not but still. They were shocked when I told them that it was a V6 lol.

Its a mustang man. Don't try to impress to get along w/everyone. Acceptance is not work thousand and thousand of dollars debt. I have had two sixers of the new body style S197 and I loved them. I wanted the v8 (I am out of high school, got a raise at my job and knew that I could afford it) So I bought it. Anyways congrats on your new stang lets see some pics.

Well you see, I was 18 when i signed and my dad used to work for ford so we got a employe discount and then i talked them down to about 24,500. I knewthe salesman, so we made things happen. I had a $350 a month payment on the six, and when the GT came in $450 a month. So i worked alot and only gained $100 a month. This isnt to bad for me since i have no other house,water,gas,bills to pay for. As for the 40's i had, they sounded great when i turned the ingine on but since mine was a auto, when ever i would punch it and get over 3500 rpm, my flows started to rice out. Mabye im just picky.......But just think back. In high school rep is everything and peer pressure is a bitch.

As a 46 yo dad with 3 kids, one heading to law school and the other 2 (twins 16yo) in 11th grade I'm going to offer some advice.
1. Never give in to peer pressure. Ever. Sing your own tune, dye your hair green whatever but be yourself because you are the only person who can be YOU. It's what's inside of you that counts, not what you drive.
2. People who make fun of you are jealous of something you have, or have done. It may not even be related to your car.
3. There will always be someone faster. I live a stones throw away from The Hamptons NY and while you are driving down main street in your turbo Porsche vert chances are real good there is a Lamborghini coming the other way. That's the way life is.
Enjoy whatever ride you have and be yourself!
