Got a new toy

By the way Kat...

You may need these links sooner or later

http://www.78ta.com/smf/index.php

The guys on that website give the best tech advice I've found. A few other websites I've gotten some flat out bad advice from.

This one is pretty good at the tech issues and probably has a larger later generation crowd.

http://www.firebirdnation.com/forums/

on the second website, I've become acquainted with a guy that lives pretty close to me and has a couple of Trans Ams (one second generation and one a third generation car) but his wife's toy is a '65 Mustang so we always find a lot of car stuff to talk about.
 
NO WAY!!! :rant Hubby can drive his Chevy truck.. and I'll just drive the Firebird until my mustang is back on the road. Speaking of that, I just called a machine shop in town about Gerts engine. Not bad.. $250 to tear it apart, check it over and put it back together. Of course price could change depending on what is found, if anything needs replaced etc. The lady I talked to said she is pretty sure painting is part of the price as long as it's not some custom color.
 
You're becoming quite the diverse car family. No discrimination there. Chrysler now gone, Ford, Chevy, Pontiac.....

What are we to do with you?

All I can say as truth be know many of us here are in the same bucket.

I have six cars registered to me.

1- 65 Mustang FB (289 5spd)
2- 67 Mustang coupe (289 5 spd)
3- 98 S10 Blazer (4.3 V6 auto)
4- 00 Excursion (6.8 V10 auto)
5- 00 F350 (7.3 Powerstroke auto)
6- 00 S10 (4.3 V6 auto)

I cold use a Chrysler product to round it out. My daughters defected quickly from a 00 Explorer after totaling two of them and blowing the engine on a 98 Durrango and the S10 pickup after a 96 Bronco. I have to admit the Bronco was hard for a starving student to feed!

I have owned some cool cars that were not ford, one a Mazda MX3, neat car. wore it out.

As for me if I can't have a new Ford in the driveway, I'll keep putting the ones I have together.

Diversity is good.
I have never owned a ford that wasn't mustang.
They never had anything that appealed to me. But I have never owned a sedan either. Lots of Jeeps for me.

And look! He had one of dem dere foreign cars he dislike so. :wtf
 
You are right Sluggo two of them were given to me and out of the four I have owned I liked two but not impressed enough to buy again.

I have been way impressed with all the American made vehicles.

Those were all great cars and I would buy them again.

Only the Mazda would I buy again out of the foreign cars.

I might know someone willing to trade an '04 PT Cruiser with about 70k miles on it for the Fastback :roll
 
Ed is not for trade or sale. I am going back to work in a few weeks and will get over the financial hump soon!
