Here is my 92 that doesn't have a rust spot on it and was in Ohio for 20 years.

I picked up an '84 GT350 convertible a few weeks ago. It had been sitting outside for 6 or 7 years. I hope I don't find rust like that. It does run, but the clutch and brakes are nonexistent.

White with blue stripes? I really like the 2.3 turbo cars.

No, it's white with red stripes. It's a 5.0/5-speed. It's supposed to look like this.

Michelin TRX wheels, because F*** You.
I actually saw some old timer stretch those tires onto a regular 15" wheel despite me telling him they wouldn't fit because they are metric. I can guarantee they all blew off the rims. I had them on my 83 Thunderbird TurboCoupe and an 81 Thunderbird box body.

My car is still sporting those. At $400 a pop for tires, I'm going to put some later wheels on it.

Didn't you say you were trying to stop buying Mustangs?

That's my new year's resolution. I bought this one at the end of last year.
