Well, just got back from the dealership and it looks like I am going to be adding a new pony to the stable. Everything is approved, they just need to talk to the bank in the morning to square the details and we can pick the car up tomorrow. Finally getting that damn lumina out of my damn blue oval driveway.
Fun story to go with it. Our trade in wouldn't start when we went to leave. Went to jump it. Dude hooks the positive up to the battery, then grounds it to the engine instead of the negative terminal. Yeah, firework show. Now, radio doesn't work unless you use the window and run it fully up/down and hold it so it keeps trying to raise/lower...headlights don't work but parking lights do...trunk won't stay shut...guage cluster doesn't work...yeah, nice eh? lol
Anyhow, here she is....13.5 out the door after trade and TTL...
Car has a couple surface scratches on the passenger door and rear 1/4 panel...they will buff out fine. 2 deep gouges on top of both side scoops...so I will replace those with saleens  2002 GT...43k miles. Auto so I don't have to teach the woman how to drive stick. Bone ass stock...woman own and babied to hell. No squeaks/rattles/etc.
Plans:
Saleen front, rear, side skirts and scoops.
Tune ASAP once I hand kyle his ass in stock form...
Magnaflow Catback, possible midpipe upgrade
Anthracite FR500 Rims
Will be for sale soon:
GT Take off exhaust
Mineral Grey Bullit rims
Here are the pics: |

fucker ida sold you mine for 12K shipped if i still had the cobra (hell, i might have done it before the FR500 purchase and then got another cobra anyways, but now with the FR500's i have a newfound love for the car), though i guess mileage scares people though the 4.6 lasts 200K+ and the drivetrain, well you should mod the piss out of the drivetrain anyways. then again, its a chicks car, and i guess auto is a must.
dude, the day you own 3 stangs is the day i call you daddy. Especially three of the best stangs in the best years (Cobra, Mach1, GT, all new edge) all in one stable. boy, youre insurance company must love you.

You would have had to pay off our trade as part of the deal. I found a ton of private sales I liked, but there was no way to get rid of the trade until it was paid off in august or sept. In this case, they take the POS off my hands and ends up being a wash.
I believe I am going to shoot for an 04 mach 1 just so I can have an 02, 03, and 04 in the driveway. lol
And spec, I don't like the interior package either, specially that gay ass shifter thingy that doesn't move in a standard H pattern...but it isn't technically my car, it was the lady's choice. She likes it...so I guess I will live with it.
However, mod plans are all mine to lay out....and the list is growing quickly. |
