Lol, no it does not. But yeah, it does have that gangster look.   :devil

Thanks for digging the mods on the Benz, the mods are not for all to like.. We have the so called "Original Polizei" that thinks a Benz should always stay the way it was made from the factory. I for myself think otherwise..  :P

Don't think I've ever owned a car that I did not mod into my own liking. That's kinda the fun part by having a car, not just to drive it from A to B..  :cool:

Wow Cap... at the time I'd never thought a Fairmont would become a collectable but that one looks to be in great shape. Love the window sticker. haha

 she';sin unusually good shape for a ford from that era....little 1/4 panel rot, which was typical of fords. i've got the headliner out, as i'm making a new one, and i found new interior rear 1/4 trim, which i'm repainting, seeing as i'm not having a red interior.

 i like that truck, 'cept i think chevy should never have gone to those style headlights....it's still a beauty though.

 talked to miller.......got them down to 34k out the door for an 012 exactly how i want it......or winner dropped that 011 down to 32,9k out the door....but that doesn't have the rear ratio i want, and it has the beigegrey interior.

 stangs seem tough in this area. i've known ford's having trouble keeping up with production for the 3.7 v6......but i've been hearing that they're having trouble keeping up production of the 5 liter, as that engine is shared in the stang, and the f150....and that engine seems to account for nearly half of fords 150 sales....and they seem to be giving priority to the truck right now.

A Stage 1 is just changes to the looks without changing the power.  To get the handling and the power upgrades you're looking at a Stage 3 which means you're hitting $50,000 and up.

If money were no object?  Oh hell yes.

53k for a Stage 1?  Heck I should buy three just to sell two.  You can get a Stage 3 for 55k on the sticker.

There's a BOSS 302 (and a Shelby GT500) both Kona Blue at the dealership I ordered my car through.  Seeing my car next to the BOSS knowing it's only 200/month more than the ho hum little sixer I ordered...

Plus higher insurance...  :eek:

Plus all the wear items I'll go through tracking it...  :(

Plus the entry fees...    :huh

Even when it's added up it almost seems worth it.  Almost.  :rolleyes:

Whenever I feel that way I just need to look at the videos of the 2011+ sixers hanging with and beating 2008-2010 GTs and I remember why I bought what I did.  I don't know where my new found discipline is coming from but I'm hoping I survive walking past the Shelby (what I really really really want, money no object) and the BOSS (What I could afford, technically...) to get to my car.  I think the sales team is doing this on purpose because they're all the same color as mine, they're new arrivals and they know I'm interested.  Bastages.

The sooner mine gets here (it should be on a train!) the better and the cash burning a hole in my pocket won't be there anymore so I'll stop shopping...right?  :cry
