thunder306 out :( , Mark VIII in :)

It's staying in the family, my brother-in-law comes home from Germany he just finished 15 months in IraQ and 5 years in the army. He's looking for a car that he can mess around with and mod. And I'm looking for a confortable car that is sporty and could drive my daughter around and something that my wife could drive if she ever needed to.

I had this car for 13 years and its been my daily driver ever since. Its on it's 3rd motor, 3rd tranny, and 3rd rear. I owe alot to this car and I learned everything I know about engines, and automotive work from thi car. It was my extended trade school. Without it I would have never had the ability to swap motors and trannys, brake work etc..

My brother-in-law will continue to mod the car and I will help him  and teach him how to work on her and keep her running. So I will be still involved with the car and will be still hanging around the board.

Hopefully I'll have my new daily driver by next week, because he wants to switch the bird over on Monday,  I'll be posting some pics of it in the user section :)

Sharp looking Bird Thunder306 !

I just picked up a set of 91-93 5 stars and yours look great with the black paint job.

Glad to hear the car will stay in the family. Alan

well, my thoughts,
this sux.  One of the most senior memebers here giving up his bird even if it does stay in the family. 

i hope you decide to bring in another bird, absence makes the heart grow fonder so maybe you'll find out how much you miss the fox body.

Hmmm. I wonder what you're getting. 
*psycho powers starting to function*
If a Mustang was warm, I'd have to say possibly a new Cobra. It's going to be a Ford in some form. Possibly a Fusion or F-150.
