Going to trade in the 4.0

Well as some of you know, my car got all jacked up by a flying tent (10x10 portable kind) on Saturday at the MCOM Century Ford car show. It was a windy day and the tent had not moved an inch the entire day despite the wind. The show was pretty much over, but Andy the stunt driver was still giving rides in the Fox, and I was part of the safety crew.

Well the tent decided to go airborn and hit my car from around 30 feet away. Damaged the hood & passenger front fender, left a nice crease in the hood/fender and one of the strut bolts punctured the hood. I now have a heat extractor hood

I have been planning on getting a supercharger for the 4.0, an 8.8 rear...for around $7000 when all said and done by December as a birthday gift to myself for turning 40 (in January). But have decided to step it up to a hole new level! 5.0

Should be this week

Guess you won't be buying my wheels then?....

Sorry to hear. 5.0 will be nice!!

Laura, Im definitely still buying the wheels LOL!

anyone have a dealership they recommend in MD? VA is out of the question with their prices

Sorry to hear of the misfortune... However a nice 5.0 will be so sweet as a replacement. Good Luck

Thanks BJ! Im kinda like you, except I don't wash my car on the regular , but despite that she was pristine (no scratches, no door dings, nothing) I guess the dirt acted as a protective barrier. But she has now been voilated and I will never feel the same about her.

Have you found one that you already like

I have a hook up at a dealer. Why do you think I got mine for so cheap. My sticker was 34k and I paid $24,900.

Hell Bob that is a great deal. Besides this was a MCOM show that his car got busted at...... I think you should throw in a free tank of gas to.

Damn that is nice.

That's also very nice deal. I will definitely look into it, do you recommend a particular salesperson?

Ron Brown, older guy but sold me my truck and my 5.0...

I like the grabber blue

Its a little to flamboyant for my taste. Also a cop magnet! kinda hard to hide in a sea of cars with it if you had to. LOL

James at Apple Ford. Tell him your a friend of mine.

Ya I like the Want-a-be Sonic Blue, the Kona is very nice, go with that

I agree Ed I like the Kona too, Its definitely in the running.

Oh F@#k it... now I'll have to get a bloody V8 or be left outta the pack...

James, a new car is certainly a better way to go rather than 7-8K upgrading a 6'er....

I'm thinking about a '66 GT 'A' code Fastback I called about today... Full rotisserie resto with mildly worked 289, Silver & black stripes.... We might both get into the cool crowd!!! LOL

Go the 5.0 man!!! woohooo.... You're half way dead (like me) so live like there's no tomorrow!!!
