Are you fucking insane?

Most old muscle cars ive seen have hood pins, 4 of them so they can just pop the pins and take the entire hood off so they can easily work on the motor. oOo:

With hondas though its so weird because their hoods bend all the way back and touch the fucking windshield so you can swap motors out easily.

[quote="Unknown_Sniper":cda6f]The only thing I dont like about that mustang other than the price which will probably be insanely high is the gold stripe. I hate gold/champagne/bronze on cars. It makes me physically sick and Ive thrown up from riding in a car that color before. I cannot stand it at all.[/quote:cda6f]

It's a throw back from the '66 Hertz Shelby Mustang. I'll be seeing that car on Monday at the NY Auto show. I'll post pics


The world is my urinal

I saw an integra with hood pins on a hood that looked like the kid sanded off the paint and sprayed primer on it.

I watched the Barrett-Jackson Auction last night and a 2007 Shelby Cobra GT500 went for like $600,000-$700,000 ed: it was one of the two. It came with a MAC tool box.

I was just asking myself "why would anyone pay that much!"
