I think it's time. Losing my edge.

The last leg of the test drive, I punched it on a freeway entrance, and when I merged I was surprised to see 90....Yeah, maybe a golf ball... Grizz wrote:Happy Birthday and nice ride. Good thing it's so stealthy too.
I know, right? They will never see me coming.Somewhere way on the back burner...a long while from now....is a Tri Glide Trike. Prolly a gently used one. The dang things are close to 40K optioned out.OldWin wrote:Happy Birthday Blaine.
Nice car. Sorry you are de-biked, but a good rider knows when "its time".
My son has had two Mustangs, an 05 with a six, and an 05 GT. Both were really nice cars and a lot of fun.
This spring he bought a brand new purple Hemi Challenger.
I live vicariously through him.

But, today, I went and bought a replacement for them.
2012 Mustang. No bells and whistles, just an automatic. I was thinking about the GT with a V8, but this V6 has 310hp, and is faster than blazes. All I need or want.
Oh, well...time marches on, but even old boys need their motor toys....
I'll pick it up in a couple days after they clean it up, prep it, and fix a few little rock chips.
A set of semi-aggressive Flow Masters will happen, and a good K&N air filter will do for now.Merle wrote:BlaineG wrote:And, I'll be selling my motorcycles....

Add a Whipple supercharger & you'll be astounded at how fast it is!
My poor old heart couldn't take it...BoxStock it's doing 0-60 in about 6 seconds. Several reviews claim 14 second 1/4.......It's not V-8 times, but it's sure good enough for me. The onboard computer sez I'm getting about 28-30 mpg cruising around on the road. There are some particularly wicked twistys heading out to Mt Rainier. It's very deft on the corners, faster than my motorcycle.Add a Whipple supercharger & you'll be astounded at how fast it is!
