You're probably find a mummified cheeseburger in the interior too. 

Even me being the Euro love, I have to admit that thing looks cool. 

I'd want a 60something Mustang like Eleanor from gone in 60 sec.  

Its the kind of interior that requires a Hawaiian shirt. A real ugly one. 

Eleanor was a 67. And that movie has driven the prices up.

 

I'd like the original Eleanor

What schools are you planning on going to? 

• UC: Merced and Davis (Davis was a new one I added, previously considered it but was never serious)
• CSU: San Jose, Stanislaus, Sacramento, maybe Long Beach and Pomona if they let me start a new application after, bc I don't wanna spend the entire fees now.

Merced is pretty crap, I'd avoid it. Your best shots might be Davis and Irvine.

Hawaiian shirts can look cool if you have aviator shades. you can't go for the tourist guy looks.

I'm really unfamiliar with muscle cars. That's a gen 1 mach something I presume?

Only if you're Tom Selleck 

Its a second gen. 1971.

Merced is more a safety school for me. I was originally going with Santa Barbara, but seeing I've never visited the campus, how would I know if it's a good fit? Same with Irvine. Good school, but never visited it, even when I was down south visiting, so I would never know. Narrowing it down mainly to SJSU and Davis for me, SJSU bc really good computer science major, and Davis bc that, and I know friends I could room with.

Or Burt Reynolds. 

Well my bad. I remember the gen 2s as being crappy?

Kind of i guess. They were gimped as all cars were after 71. I just prefer the bodystyle 

The 302 windsor they put in these was tragic at 140bhp and 230 something NM's. But they also had a 375bhp cobra jet in 71, 600ish nm's of torque.

Got to love the oil crisis. 

The car looks massive. Big 2 doors just made no sense to me.

You could just remove all the emissions crap and revert the engine to basically what they were in the 60s though.

changed the oil in the Accord today. man does it rev smoother, even with full synthetic. Was going to do the trans fluid too, but the fill plug was stuck so i'll revisit that later. I sprayed it down with PBblaster.

Someone rear ended my mom... I'll get some pictures later She just got the car 9 months ago.

changed the rear parking aid warning speaker in my dad's car. 

 

took pretty much the entire rear interior out. even in the trunk. 

replaced speaker. tested with car in reverse. Worked for 3 seconds or so then stopped suddenly. 

Checked codes. In addition to the "open or short to ground" theres a new code with "open or short to plus" 

well gosh darn... we've gotten nowhere. backwards even.

SJSU says freshman outside a 30 mile radius have to stay on campus. and davis is too far to even consider commuting, plus that's miles on my car I don't need.

That's a bullshit rule, why should they care?
