Happy graduation Hannah!

Start this thread over with foxes in the OP image.

Fuck off.

Thought I'd post my co-workers glorious mustang story to share.

>Finance 2007 Mustang GT for $12k
>80k miles, has all the ford racing goodies in the engine
>putting down some pretty good power for a 4.6
>bought a warranty, just to be safe
>sure enough, few years later, cam issues
>sends it into ford, replaces cams
>some time later, cams bust again
>sends it into ford, replaces cams
>various suspension parts are busted
>sends it into ford, new suspension components
>transmission syncros are struggling
>sends it in to ford, turns out all syncros are bad, plus some kind of recall
>replaces the entire transmission
>gee whiz, I bet you can't guess what happened next
>cams
>send it into ford, they finally get the foresight to think "maybe something is causing the cams to die"
>figure its probably cheaper to replace the entire engine at this point
>so they do
>buddy gets a brand new 4.6 with all brand new ford racing internals
>short time after that, guy side swipes him
>gets $3k from their insurance since he had a dashcam
>entire car repainted

At this point, he's sitting on an 07 GT with a brand new engine, brand new transmission, brand new suspension, and fresh paint job

>at the paint shop
>guy comes up and talks to him about his GT
>offers to buy it, cash, 14.5k
>buddy only has $1k left on his finance, takes him up on it
>Hes now on the prowl for a 5.0

Pic related, not his stang but looked exactly like that. I wish I could upgrade to a newer, better version of my car simply because things kept breaking. I'm still stuck with my FWD shitbox, but I'm happy for him all the same.

hey, i have an svo
actully i had two, i rolled the first one on a hill

Lol great story
Loved how it slowly turned into a brand new fucking car, at that point I would've just fucking kept it

Just curious, what's the price range for a gen 1 V8 small block in the US?
Here in Europe it's about 25k for a good condition hardtop and 40k+ for a fastback.
