Well I took her home on a 630 mile journey, while missing under high boost :)

ill throw in a few videos too.

few notes, 1, those red wipers, they were on there and they look like legos, they were replaced as you can see in later pictures. 2, i forgot to put my power antenna down, i think it kind of messes up the shot, my friend was in the back trying to stay warm. So he had his Ipod going with his I trip. 3, in the videos, the car misses under boost, in one you can hear me say " at half throttle" because its all I can do really, if i get on it over 8 PSI it misses, im getting that fixed in the next couple of days and will post new videos. You can hear it missing a couple times in the donut videos. and some of the pictures were blurry. hard to be still in 15 degrees.

this is what would happen if my car was in fast and the furious and hit the NAAAAAWWWZZZ buttons.
 
:rolleyes:

well i also wanted to say that during the trip, some idiot in a new intrepid tried messing with me... hes lucky i cant step on it, or else i wouldnt have lost. haha jk. I just would have killed him by about 20 more car lengths then i did.


i was going about 85-90 and see this car fly up out of nowhere, so im like okay, so I speed up and he cuts me off. So I speed up and pass him at about 110, then I slow down, he does a typical flyby and flashes his hazards.

I had enough of this, so I just went to about 7 PSI, before I knew it I was doing 120 so I threw on my hazards and just kept going for a bit. Slow down and he comes back. Lets just say after this flyby, I did about 120 for 5 miles. I never saw him again. Like I said too bad I cant floor it, I just have to hold it at about half throttle and half boost :( or else i get the spark miss.

I hope this guy wasnt serious.

I also gave a new 6 series a run for its money, just a quick little passing competition. what an ~~~~~~~ that guy was too. oh well, he probably wont try to pass a car stamped Thunderbird SC on the rear bumper again.
 
Nice camera and SC looks clean. And BTW that has to be the best evenly-lit Stock gauge cluster.
Good stuff you got

Hahaha....yes, i was going to say that. Thats a nice shot...i always get either dark spots or super brighty shiny flasy parts. That one is nice and even. Awesome pix my friend.
 
Dude...thats awesome. I though I was the only one crazy enough to have my tack mounted there. I actually had it turned a bit so the 1 was kind of in the 5-6 o'clock position. Once I stepped up to the 3 guage pod, the tack went bye bye and now I have to put it elsewhere. But your car looks like mine.........................only cleaner.

Is that original paint?

You were in GR and didn't tell me, we could have met up for dinner and drinks or something, maybe played some pool, checked out the SC's.
 
ha yeah, alls we really did was go to your mall. Nice architecture, but we thought it was bigger. oh well.

too bad you werent around the mall, you would have seen a red SC pull some donuts and watch these girls run for their lives.


but we have found some spots on the car indicating that it is not completely original, or at least it has been touched up a bit. Alls I know is it is not of recently, or the past 4 years. plus it kind of has that faded almost orange look in certain light. but within a year or two im having it re-painted.

it is nice, but as all 16 year old cars, it has a couple of bad spots.

oh and the 182K miles isnt exactly accurate. well it is, but its not truthful. The engine only has 38K ;)

but still this thing was babied. has only been driven 400 miles in the past like 4 years.
