Ironic that you use a line like that, when you are all about saving fuel.
dude, how do you like ohio? how's the stang? was clean when i saw it.
Aside from the snow.. it's great. Alot less hippies out here, that's for sure! Cobra is running a bit fat, according to the recent dyno. Laid down 513/529 running fat.. Lets see.. CCWs are sitting here... and my BFG 335's are on their way.
I heard you got a new car? I got a new plate frame...
dude that plate frame is awesome! I want to get one for all of my cars.

im telling you guys. it's all about the gas mileage.
the last few trips ive observed 42 mpg.
what's your mileage like?
42 mpg = about $0.10 cents per mile you drive, but spending at least 15K on the car
20 mpg= $0.20 per mile with a 4-5K car
you logic to save money does not "fit".
lol. what mustang gets 20mpg?
both of mine get 25mpg, and don't make me fall asleep while driving them.
My '92 w/ ALL the basic boltons (ie no heads or cam) AND 3:55 gears was getting 23MPG. Here is another calculation for you
If you drive 500 miles a week (that's a lot of fucking miles!!!) and you pay $4 a gallon then...
500/23mpg * $4 = $87 per week 500/42mpg * $4 = $47 per week
($87 * 4 weeks) - ($47 * 4 weeks) = $160 savings per month
How much is the payment on your NEW car? If it is more than $160 (and assuming you drive at least 500 miles per week) you are actually loosing money [ May 20, 2008, 01:17 PM: Message edited by: 92stangLX ]

yeah, i see what you did there, but i wasn't getting anything NEAR that mileage.
btw, im actually making LESS money now, than i was making with the mustang. and i have all this extra money LOL. you guys can hate all you want, but my bank account is WAY fatter and i have a lot of nice stuff now as compared to with the mustang. having a mustang was cool i guess, but im much happier now. not hating on you guys, just saying. i could care less about the planet and such, but it's nice seeing a FAT bank account
