Or being incredibly good looking.

 

You are absolutely correct. Which, you know, there has to be more to life than being really, really ridiculously good looking. Perhaps its being ridiculously good looking and cool simultaneously?

I'm pretty sure there's more to life than being really, really ridiculously good looking, and I plan on finding out what that is. Perhaps it is being cool... Yet I am forced to believe that being incredibly good looking automatically makes you cool? I hear words like "handsomeness" and "incredibly chiseled features" and for me that's like a vanity that I don't buy into... ya know?

car was 48,000

i have spent 1200-1500 in parts

i got 390 rwhp

32 MPG highway

12.4 @ 117 quarter mile

0-60 in 4.1 sec

able to stop 60-0 in 100 ft

top speed 200+ MPH

it can handle at least 1.4 G's (thats as high as i've had it)

it was designed for the road course

it's sexy

and it has all the luxury anyone could ever want

 

 

having a car you can drive to the track,

slap on racing numbers,

race,

drive home,

and take your girlfriend out to dinner in the same night - PRICELESS

1979 capri i paid 800 for the car with a 275 horse crate motor and a reman c4, 13 bucks for a selenoid and another 10 for battery cables and it ran 13.20's.....823 bucks total(it was cheap because the owner passed away and the guy who purchased it couldnt make a brand new motor run)

 

1981 mercury marquis i paid 400 for it, threw a leftover performer rpm and a 750 holley on it...ill say around 75 bucks used for a price since i had them extra..

150 for an 8.8 with 3:73 gears and a traction lock, 75 bucks for 2 1/2 inch down pipes. 80 bucks for a set of used flowmasters, gutted interior for free.....15.60's for 780 bucks.. both of the above cars were 302's....

 

so far on the new car i paid 300 for a running 2.3 n/a mustang..1988. gutted interior was free and neccessary to find rot/wiring troubles..125 bucks in brake lines and a new master cylinder, 36 bucks for lightbulbs for the car, 26 bucks for a cheap turbo muffler, 47 shipped for a downpipe, 200 for a donor turbo coupe(motor trans and rear end) so as of right now i have 736 bucks in the 2 cars to make one run out of....i keep a running tab saved in the computer for all my cars...hoping to make the turbo car go 13's for under 2g.....i still have to buy shocks/springs and alot of little shit for the swap but as of right now im browsing for a 2.3 header and t3 turbo set up
