I'm a 'stang fan, myself. I once had a '71 Mach 1 with the 351 Cleveland and 4-speed. I got a super deal on it... bought the contents of a storage depot in an auction... Started restoring it, but the crash of the late '80's hit me hard and I had to sell it. I'd much rather have a classic Pony anyway... *sigh*.
But I'd settle for a classic Camaro... or a Goat... or.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Actually, my first dream has always been to have a '70 Buick GSX convertible. Ah, to dream....

My favorite car to date was the Toyota Celica. Such a shame Toyota killed it off...

I was thinking about getting a new car in 2012. Maybe the new mustang that's out... :?: :?: :?:

25mpg is great, do you have a V6? B/c I only get feet per gallon on my Stang! She's a V8 with some mods. Maybe if I left my lead shoes at home too, that might help! 8-) :roll:

Who's going to post a pic. of their car first? And yes, Len, what is the "X"???

I remember the Celica, I used to love those cars! Toyota used to make a great product, I don't know how great they are now?! My mom has a 2000 4Runner, it's in fantastic condition and still running great!

I can see mindflipper cruising in the new Stang.....................don't forget your shades!!! 8-)

How much lead is in those shoes?!? :shock: :?

No, I'm currently stuck with a Camry, so no photos. :oops: Toyota dropped the Celica for Scion, with which I am not impressed at all. There's been rumors of the Celica return after the popular return of the Stang and the Camaro, but so far...still no sign...then heard rumors it would be a bio-diesel only in Europe. Really? Why?

And I see you have no idea of what "X" is either... :? :lol:

There is alot of lead in my shoes!!! :lol: I don't do alot of highway driving and she's terrible around town, I'm lucky if I get 11mpg. She likes premium too, a little better gas mileage with that.

There's nothing wrong with a Camry mindflipper! And maybe Len referring to a BMW??? That's the only "X" I can't think of?! X3 or X5???

Actually, today there is. The car is in the shop with a busted lock in the driver's side door. The lock is jammed, so the door will not open at all. Discovered it that way when I left work yesterday, and had to get in the driver's seat from the passenger's side.

Since it was so late in the day yesterday, it was impossible to get an appointment to get it fixed at the service center today. So the "walk ins" get second priority after the appointments, so I am still waiting to hear something....

Ah geez, here's hoping they will fix your car in a timely manner!!! Cars are such a pain when they're not cooperating! The Turd is currently leaking something all over our driveway *sigh* we just have to figure out what that is?! Now our driveway is stained, this drives me insane! (Pun intended)

Given how many iphones he's been through, maybe "X" means it's his tenth used car he's had? We all know how hard Len90 is with tech... :wink: :lol:

I had a VW Polo that did that to me, VW wanted wait for it ...................£320 to fix it. Joe bought the parts from the VW garage for £15 and fixed it himself, all done inside an hour.
I currently drive a Nissan Note diesel and am getting 69 to the gallon.

Okay, getting back on topic.... :lol:
I had hoped to wash my bad boy before taking a pic of my new decal and posting it, but I realized that if I don't do it now, I may never get it done. So please pardon the layer of dirt. And now, as promised, here is my bad-a** 4x4 with a pink Mickey 5K decal... and I'm proud of it. I've already had a couple of compliments.... :wink: 8-)

What's up with the non-Disney license plate? You really should look into getting personalized plates ;)
