I'm getting all season tires, and bigger wheels = more traction. No need to keep switching very few months.
-
I'm gonna head to a scrapyard and see if there are any Mustangs with good wheels
-
I was standing to take the picture. The space begins after the first set of draws on the left, under the right side draw. Thing is, my chair is too big to fit under, not a huge deal but kinda annoying.
-
Gonna be likely getting a new desk soon, bigger L-shape one, so here's current set up. Making the most of small spaces.
-
Which spoiler then
-
-
They just seem a bit too small for me, maybe I'll pick up some plastidip so that way I can see what black wheels would generally look like in person before I buy anything.
-
I like the spoilerless look, why do you think it needs a spoiler?
-
I honestly just want the car to look good and the stock wheels don't cut it for me.
-
I can't decide on wheels for the life of me. Third set is on clearance price for almost $100 off. I like the look of the solid black FR500's though (last). Mine for reference.
-
Plus, all that shit makes it fucking impossible to get any work done. I put a master cylinder into a newer car a bit ago; maneuvering a wrench was torture. Grab a socket
-
Took a little over an hour, sounds good too, looks even better.
-
Paint! Get it painted!

How does this show still exist...
-
K&N is $242.99 and stays in the engine bay BBK is $189.99 and the filter goes into the fender
-
So which one of the two I posted am I better off getting? I'm thinking of K&N.
-
Do cold air intakes really do much for fuel efficiency or horsepower gains? I like the sound of them but other than that I'd like to see if there is anyone practicality with them. http://www.americanm...ai-9904-v6.html http://www.americanm...-cai-v6-46.html

Yeah but only if you don't kill people. It's weird I know.

Yes and they'll take your console away.

If I do get a truck it won't be that Ram, it's running alright but it's pretty beat up and it's a '98 with 136,000 miles so issues are not too far ahead in my thinking. I'd likely get a newer F-150, Ram, or Silverado. Chevy is coming out with the Colorado this year too. Trucks also are getting in the low to mid 20's in MPG now which isn't all that bad considering I'll only really be driving to work or school which I'm not too far from. 136,000 on a ram is not much. That's barely half of it's life cycle. It'll probably do another 100k given that it's been taken fair care of. Not to mention my best friend has one that has about 250k on it and it's barely starting to show problems. I honestly think that ram will do you good if you drive it, pickups are meant to be driven around as old beaters. I know a guy who drives a Silverado, 280k, the rear leaf suspention has popped up through the bed of the truck, the sideskirts have rusted off, the rest of the truck has rust holes clean through, and he still drives it 30 kilometers to work and back every day. The only thing I ever hear him complain about is gas. As for Chevy, I'm told avoid the Colorado like the plague, supposedly they're money pits. And I'm not a fan of the newer Silverado's (Made in Mexico vs Made in the good ol' Dirty Shwa) although I hear they're still reliable. But I'd honestly put in the extra work and find a 2000 Chevy. Ford pickups I am a fan of, however avoid the V6 ecoboost. In fact, avoid ecoboost altogether. It's nothing but problems waiting to happen. Ask my neighbour who had to declare bankruptcy because he couldn't afford to fix as well as pay for an ecoboost F-150. I agree with your sentiment on the charger, the charger will most likely be more on gas, insurance, maintenance etc. Although I don't think any muscle car is a good beginner. A lot of people can let the fact that their car is higher end than others go to their head. Which is one of the main reasons I went out of my way to buy something not-so-fancy. Gas is the issue. I mean it's a nice truck and I'd certainly get some of those parts fixed and what not because the rust isn't all that bad but 11/12 mpg is not worth it, that's why I'd rather get a newer year truck. I was reading up on the ecoboost and heard great things about it. GMC is also coming out with their Canyon, a version of the Colorado, but I suppose it'll be about the same. What's with the word of Dodge's always breaking? Also now Ram is owned by Fiat, so how does that change the Ram lineup? I'd likely go the Ford route but Rams sure are sweet. I suppose I'd rather keep my Mustang over the Charger anyway as I like the two door and general look better, but just the features that R/T has is incredible.

The Charger has a lot of awesome features with a lot of safety and comfort. Chargers would likely be cheaper on insurance being a sedan too, but this is a 8-cyl Hemi so I doubt I'd save on anything really compared to the Mustang. While not popular on here, I love Mustangs, I love the look of mine, and I have a lot of options for customization, and it is my first car which is another reason why I'm hesitant to get rid of it. The Mustang gets a lot of compliments and attention which anyone would like.
