CAR MODIFIED WITH NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM

The car that started it all for me was the 1993 Mustang GT 5.0.  I remember working my butt off on summers and weekends to save money for a $4000 down payment. Then the local dealer had a black/black coupe that I HAD to own.  My wonderful mother offered to help me with half of the monthly payments (which really meant most) and even add to my down payment.

You could imagine, a teenager, entering college and about to be handed the keys to an 5.0 Mustang, would have prob changed the course of my life for better or worse.  But it wasn't meant to be.

I got all the way up to the Insurance, and the dream ended.  Because of my age, lack of driving history, and the Mustang v8, the insurance would have been $8,000 per yr in Queens NY.  Even by adding the car under my mother's name and putting me as a secondary driver, wouldn't dent the rate.

THE END?

But the story begins again this summer.  I have waited almost 20 yrs for this, for Ford, to bring back the 5.0! And boy did they put in all of their soul and passion into this new engine.  My order is in.  I have waited this long, just a few more weeks won't kill me.  I'll just have to read every article and re-watch every video review to no end.

Thanks for visiting my blog to share this sickness for cars we all have.
