Yup, you're only young once. You have the rest of your life to be old balls.

I keep thinking that, but my wife is like...uh, why would you buy the same exact car again. I was like, okay..maybe I'll get a convertible 5.0 instead.

I really have no idea why, but big muscle cars do nothing for me. I know the knew mustang is bad ass with the amount of power it's putting down, along with the improvements made to the suspension and braking, but shit, I dunno, I'm still not drawn to it. And I really have no reason not to be.

A friend of mine who's been a die hard honda fan since day one was seriously considering a mustang GT after he had one as a rental about a year or two ago. He's completely sold on them now. While it was fun to drive, I don't think I could pull the trigger on one.

I could never buy a Ford. Just wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it.

There are certain Ford cars I'd gladly jump into. Focus RS...Mustang GT...Raptor...


...and of course, the Ford GT.

Mine is a sentimental thing...all my friends had fox body mustangs in high school, that's what I learned to turn a wrench on but I was too broke to get one. Now, with the newest iteration being RWD, pretty and somewhat techie...I'm in. Just need to wait for the right time/price.

I also rented one in Atlanta in 2012 and loved it and it was only a V6 Auto. Parts are cheap, repairs are pretty cheap considering.

We'll see...the TL ain't going anywhere no matter what...at least not any time soon.

They've come a long way in the past few years, and I think they're putting out some really impressive products.

That said, I had a 2013 Focus ST for 11 months and 15k miles, and couldn't wait to sell it.

The new Mustangs intrigue me, but I don't think they're really the type of car (as several have said) that would keep me happy long-term. I test-drove a 2012 5.0 'vert when I was selling the ST... it made a lot of good noises and it would have been fun to cruise around in, but didn't do much for me otherwise.

I've owned a Canadian vehicle (they exist!), four Japanese cars, and an American car.



The Acura was the American car

I bet you'd regret it. From the looks of it, you've put a lot of time and money in it. May as well keep it and take the grandkids riding in it one day.

Yow...and Monday too. Well, try not to take it personally if it's work-related. There is never a shortage of stupid from any workplace.

I want to start a fire with the mini draco tonight. I blazed 100 rds last night at 25 yards.. about a 6 inch group, 1 shot / sec. Some fool was shooting a silenced 300 upper in the next lane. Shiett motherfucker.. you came to the wrong neighborhood.

What? Seriously? Why? That would be the one Ford I would jump on, lol. I think calling their products "impressive" these days is a bit of a stretch. Besides the advancements on the F150, I'd be hard pressed to call anything else they're doing impressive.

Was the Canadian car an Acura CSX?

I dunno what the hell Chevy was thinking with the tail lights in the new Camaro. Looks like absolute garbage. The headlights prior to the facelift were much more appealing.

He said shooting from 25 yards, he shot 100 rounds, 1 shot a second, all shots landed within 6 inches of each other. Not too bad!

I agree. Last generation looked better. I also like the 68 and 92 models.

anyone with any sprinkler system experience...
turn on and getting nothing but a loud buzzing from the timer itself, but no noises or action from the pump.

I want to swap like for like to test but of course now I find out the timer I have is $140 and only available online. I don't mind spending the money but want to be sure it'll fix the issue. I'm feeding off a canal and don't know for sure if the existing steel pump has maintained prime.

Well, I hope whatever thorn is in your side either gets absorbed by the body or snaps off and withers away bud. Hate to see you fired up.

I'm guessing you're pissed because nobody guessed your costume correctly on Halloween.
