And since this is Detroit and the months have letters in them, I can save $500 on a new Mustang. Unfortunately, it's either a secretary V6 or a GT automatic, so it's pointless. images/smilies/cry.gif

Then again, it's a Mustang, and that live axle causes cancer in newborn babies. Also, it's an American car, so it automatically comes with a 300lb serial rapist in the backseat. images/smilies/wink.gif

In order to get a Mustang you have to get your teeth whitened? images/smilies/bangin.gif

FATMOUSE · August 18th, 2006, 3:33 PM

I'd buy a Mustang. Though it would be the new 400+ horse one.

BlitzR · August 18th, 2006, 3:43 PM

The live axle isn't so bad. As long you drive it on smooth roads.

Janus · August 18th, 2006, 3:45 PM

I quite like the look of them, but would never buy one in Australia because by the time you import one, get it converted etc. it cost over $100k.

You can get something better for much less here.

FATMOUSE · August 18th, 2006, 3:52 PM

^Yeah, only worth it for $25-30k. For $100k, get yourself a nice 911 or something instead.

You should sue, i dont think orbital white is qualified to cure any sort of disorder. Pretend you have perma-grin and you're offended.

He's talking Australian dollars, $100k Australian is $75,814.26USD. Still far too much for a Mustang, as good as they are.

Hey i didnt get one images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

Evo7 · August 18th, 2006, 7:55 PM

^I think my dad needs one of those. He said he's having withdrawl symptons from when we hired one for a day and that he gets depressed when he thinks we no longer has it. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Nah, I doubt you'd be interested. It's an American car. images/smilies/wink.gif

Pretty creative advertising!

On a side note, Ford announced it will cut production by 21%, probably to pay for those promo kits! images/smilies/lol.gif

But seriously, theyre cutting production by 21%.

There is no sound quite as sublime as the American V8. (yes, I know the different American V8's sound different, but...)

A pack of gum is better than what I got from Honda today. Apparently the dealer would really like to buy my car back so that they may add it to their certified used car inventory. They are offering me inaddition to whatever the car is worth, 4 whole thousand dollars worth of credit to buy a new car. First of all my credit rating is worth a hell of a lot more than 4 thousand bucks and secondly with my trade-in less the amount owed would be another 4 grand meaning I would have 8 grand to buy a new car which you can't do in the US unless your buying an Aveo.

thedguy · August 20th, 2006, 3:12 AM

So are they saying anyone who drives a Mustang never brush their teeth and have bad breath?

They tried selling the Mustang here in about 2000. Whilst I think it was the higher models only, they imported them, and rebuilt them as RHD cars. They ended up being about $80,000AUD, and I think the $50,000 XR8 Falcon was just as fast, but I might be wrong there images/smilies/smile.gif

Most Mustangs I see around here are the 1960's models, many still LHD (because old enough to not need conversion).

Oh, and by the way, a 911 is nearly $200,000AUD, I think $100,000 might get a Boxster, if you're lucky images/smilies/smile.gif
