Holy crap Jamie, it was a joke, but thanks for the public display of menstruation, proved a point... Try to get a handle on your emotions
And stop threatening to beat someone you've never met, you may want to consider a less bloody sport for yourself, like checkers or black jack before you enter yourself into physical confrontation that'll leave you unrecognizable by your loved ones. I'm not saying you're a little wuss or anything, actually
I'd imagine you're tough, like the Man named Sue
It's good you spend your money on things you enjoy, good luck with the Stang, lighten up buttercup

lets make out for a few minutes.
I still don't see what's so bad about a mark engine in a mustang? Not trying to make it a cobra, I just respect that it is, IMO a better engine than the 2v, that and it looks better in the engine compartment.
Looks good! I'll be down there, were shooting for May/April, I'll have to check it out then. Looking forward to seeing the new house, new car, and driving "my" Mark again![]()
Congrats on the purchase. I see you kept it black, and love that you kept it ford. I want one
my mark was very quick, but i seriously think this mustang would blow the doors off of it, it :q:q:q:qing moves! i'm loving it.
this will be my new long term commuter and toy. i have wanted a mustang for a long time and finally said :q:q:q:q it. i bought it tonight. i'll post more pics this weekend this is just one from the lot it was at. its a 99 GT 5 speed 127k loaded up tan leather interior 100 % unmolested bone stock. runs and drives awesome, nice and tight and very snappy with that stick shift! i havent owned a stick shift since my last mustang, back in 1998, it was an 85 GT. this is a totally different world from an 85!
this will be a car i keep a progress thread on, i just filed my taxes today so there will be alot of changes to this car in a short amount of time. and go ahead tell me everyone has a mustang i could give a :q:q:q:q less, now i have one too.

Nice ride.
Only thing i dislike about those stangs is the ugly interior and the suspension. But you cant beat the aftermaket on them.

I have to disagree on the interior. I have an SN95 Cobra and it has one of the most attractive interiors I've ever seen in a car. The seats are comfortable. The steering wheel and shifter are perfectly spaced and fall directly to hand. Everything is pretty much where it should be. And I've always been a fan of Ford's twin pod dashboard layout. My '62 Connie had it and so did my '69 Cougar. But it's a matter of opinion.
However, I must agree about the suspension. I must admit that Ford has done wonders with the cheap and simple strut front suspension. And the 4 link log out back has been well refined. The car handles like a friggin' go kart!! But I simply don't like struts. I would much rather have an SLA like the Mark VIII. The SLA design is much more versatile and offers more adjustment than a strut setup. SLA also keeps the tires more vertical and in contact with the pavement than a strut suspension can. I've always thought that Ford made a mistake when they did away with the SLA suspension in favor of struts in the Mustang in '79. I just really hate struts. I can't help it. They belong on cheesy econoboxes, not sports or luxury cars.
The inside is comfortable but its just doesnt look good...
That's niiiice! Very clean. I wish our Cobra had that console! We've got the older style with the flimsy little cup holder that pulls up out of the console.
