Chrome wheels!?!!?! Shocked

Each to their own I guess.

If your interested in straight line speed, a standard Mustang is sh!t! You can go a lot faster for a fraction of the money.

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
