A series of injuries kept me from being able to shift & I live an hour from most jobs in my field, in one of the most overcrowded, fastest-growing parts of the country... meaning a hellacious stop & go commute. I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my 2003 manual transmission GT. Notice I didn't say goodbye to *Mustangs*. ;-) I won't surrender to the world of mundane, practical vehicles without a fight. You could amputate my arm & still never catch me behind the wheel of a minivan. You think I'd spend years and thousands of dollars building the machine of my dreams, only to give up on the brand? HAHAHA not on your life!!! American Metal may be gone, but I've got a replacement pony. I promised to leave it alone, but the urge to mod can only be held back for so long...
