Does the color Mustang you bought show what type of personality you have? I assume the bright yellow and comp orange guys are more extroverts, and the grey, black and silver ones more stealthy types. Blue means you are a Ford fan? I bought a redfire 2003 cobra because that was the only car...

Bush pandered to his base and ignored the suffering of the ill in vetoing the stem cell bill 73% of Americans want! Better to do research rather than discard excess IVF fertilised cells. While some kids are adopted, there is a large excess of fertilised eggs. Even Oren Hatch, Nancy Reagan and...

I only read the manuals when I want to see how to reset the clock for daylight savings time, and that is only if I cannot stumble on the method first. How much time did you spend reading the manuals when you got your new or used car?

At some point you lose streetability if you go too far in making a race car out of a street car. My brother bought Earl Moorhead's flamed red Mustang Cobra. That Cobra broke ten seconds in the quarter mile and had about 700+ RWHP on 116 octane race gas with a KB 2.4 L blower and a trick...
