    finally got my first car

    welp i finally bought my first car. its a 99 mustang GT. its not the same one i was talkin about gettin a while ago tho cuz that one got sold. nothin too special about this one. its got a mach 1 shaker ram air hood and scoop (which i broke, more on that later) mach 1 chin spoiler, mach 1 rear end liscense plate thingy (dont know the technical term for that lol), K&N filter and cold air intake, catback exhaust, bullit wheels, eibach springs, smoked cobra headlights, grill delete, wing moved back 2 inches (looks like a saleen wing now), drilled and slotted rotors,steeda triax shifter, white faced gauges and just a couple more odds n ends. leather interior and power everything. 86k miles on the body (great condition inside and out btw) and only 1200 miles on the motor (the motor is out of an 02 GT).

    i already broke the hood tho. as soon as i got to the guys house it started pouring down rain. long story short i buy the car and im driving it home in the rain which is scary cuz it doesnt have too much traction. i get to a tollbooth and leave nice and easy. up the road a little ways i get next to a semi. hes on the left of me and we're on a bridge so i have a cement wall to the right of me. i hit a bump and the car starts gettin way squirrelly and im like AHHHHHH! then all the sudden somethin flys off the hood and smashes against the windsheild. i start screamin my lungs out AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! cuz i think the whole hood is comin up on me while im already out of control between a semi and a wall. but i straightened her out and i was just like damn. so the black thing that goes down the middle of the hood is snapped in half now. 230 bucks i have to spend to fix that. lame.

    heres a couple pics of her. they kinda suck cuz their the ones the guy sent me before i bought it and keep in mind some of the pix were taken before the car was lowered and whatnot. ill get some pics of it now as soon as i can.

    its a 5 speed manual (wouldnt have it any other way..unless it was a 6 speed heh heh). ill egg nog it (and the shelby too for you non believers) as soon as i can get my hands on a digi cam. i know these cars arent really a lot of your guys' cup of tea but ive always had a thing for mustangs and its my first car and most people cant say that they had a car like this for their first car. i worked my ass off for it and i love it.

    thats all thats important dude, who gives a crap what anybody else thinks, you got what you love. Nice buy dude. 2 questions: How big are those wheels, they look pretty small, and has it been lowered, it looks pretty high though that might be the small wheels

    yeah dont be fooled by that picture. the car is lowered now and it sits much much lower than it did in that one picture. the wheels are 17's and look bigger when the car is sitting lower. i plan on getting some 18's for it eventually tho. ill get a pic of how it really looks as soon as i can
