The sun!: get those cars washed!

With the crap weather this weekend I completely wasted time drinking, surfing the web, watching movies, and doing office work from home. A few hours back the fog up here lifted and the sun came out. I ran out and got the cars washed--everything was covered with crud from the last week--although as I type this we just had another round of rain come in and got everything wet. Have to dry it all off once it clears soon. I don't have pics from today but I took these two weeks back after washing the daily driver, open track car and drag car off. Man I love my Mustangs:

Wow your stable is just full of pony's. There's nothing like a nice cleaned-up stang to wanna cruise in!

rides looking good

Looks good John. I didn't wash mine today, but I did manage to get my slicks on in anticipation of next Sat drag day. Also took the bike out for a short hop.

I'm stuck at work all day. This morning was rainy and nasty, but it sure did turn out to be a really nice day after all... tomorrow is supposed to be even nicer too.

looks good john...one day i hope my house will be full of ponies

nice... still sunny here but its clouding up pretty good.

looks good John! i'm totally jealous! you have room for one more pony........ehem, such as mine! white would sure look good in that group!!


my weekend was pretty much the same.....wasted on the internet and drinking(lots of that)! got the car out a bit since it looked nice, and then WHAM.....rain and hail. i hurried my ass home and got her back in the garage. No dents, thank God!!

I'm going to look at a used F150 this week too--need something to tow that '05 to out of state races this year. My old '97 has had the S@%# beat out of it by my oldest...

SWEET!!! what year? i love those ford trucks!! grew up on those babies!!

i love my f-150 first vehicle and still goin strong...

I found a couple in the area from either private owners or on dealer's lots, from 2005 to 2007, with less than 60k, 5.4l engines and tow packages. Range from supercrew to 4 door crew cabs, and $17k-20k in price. I want either black or red if I can find one. Will need to add a brake controller (ok, and dual exhausts, and probably cold air, and a tune.....) and then look for a decent trailer.

Part of me wants to get a brand new one, since the redesign is pretty cool, but it's mostly going to sit except for towing or crappy weather commuting so that just isn't making sense, even with the deep discounts.

Well, good luck John! sounds like you are on the right path!! and i would go for a black one!!

If you are going to be towing a lot... get a diesel... I get 22mpg unloaded Loaded with a 20' trailor, and my car on it I get 18mpg. I pass other trucks with trailors going uphill.

I've heard the diesel suggestion a couple of times, but I'm just not a fan. Plus, I can work on any mod motor myself in the garage or driveway. For me, it's not the mileage but ease of maintenance and overhauling.

What do you have, a 250?
