RCCrawler Forums - Pics of your latest purchase

This car started out looking at a Jeep truck. The more I learned the further away my feet took me. Biggest thing that engine shut down at a stop light deal ......... yeah I know there is an override button, so what:flipoff:

Mustangs been watching for a while. Got interested about 5 years ago, the design refinements took a serious turn for the better. Special ordered in Nov, side note: Ford in the only American car manufacture that has a menu of performance specif packages, you can itemize and purchase.

The running mustang shows up, door closed, when door handle is grabbed.. slick

Check out the front tires the skinny pair "Z" rated

Sexy!!! Congrats. I'm a Chevy guy, but I love the newer Mustangs. And I love red. It's the fastest color. I love that car!

My girlfriend wanted a Jeep. I talked her out of it because of the reliability. I'd like a Wrangler myself, but couldn't pull the trigger for the same reasons.

I debated about a new GT, hard to get them with a third pedal sadly. So I did a 7 speed C7.
I’m still a Ford lover though.

I just picked up a new toy a few weeks ago and now I'm building a 1/10th version of it.

It sucks, never saw so many automatics in my life! Then I found out the new C8 is ONLY an automatic, NO manuals at all.

Yeah manual transmissions are a dying breed. I installed a Tremec T56 Magnum six speed in my 68 Camaro and I love it. But I have to say this new generation of computer controlled automatics are pretty awesome when used in the sequential paddle shift mode.

Nice Jeep! I wish those things were still a dome a dozen. If I had known the prices were going to go crazy for clean ones I would have gotten one.

Yep, manuals are dead. Computers are faster than humans.

Spent some BIG money at Academy. My Jeep hasn't had a stereo for the entire 9 years I've had her. I'm back to daily driving her and I needed music in my life. I picked up two Altec Lansing mini h2o bluetooth speakers. They were $15 each and can do left and right stereo sound. They are loud enough to hear the music with the windows down at highway speeds so it's worth it.

I like to drive and a manual (standard transmission) fits the term, drive. I've not had that pleasure beyond a HD driven for many years.

Last 4sp car owned, I say owned cause I do not make payments on cars. Was a 67, 435 tri powered coupe. Purchased as a fresh face back form Nam, combat pay bought that one.

The 32 & 34 have 350 auto, cause the cockpits just lack the room, once chopped and channeled.

So the Mustang and a standard transmission (manual) is a given. Very enjoyable & a fun drive.

I have liked the Vett over the years, but the Mustang today is just pure American muscle when compared.

Was a loyal GM guy, new day has arrived. "thumbsup"

Cheers,
pep

That’s the way to be IMO. It keeps you active mentally and physically. Lots of people that retire just give up on life.

I finally bought a header pipe for my 87 Yoter 4x4 pickup with a 22R and 2 barrel Weber carb it should sound decent, will need too make my own block off plates for the air tubes like I did with the stock header after removing the smog crap

It’ll definitely flow and sound better. I ran ola Pacesetter on my 3rz for years but I couldn’t keep gaskets in it. 2.5” 3 bolt. Could’ve been worn motor mounts, too.
