Yes it is. That's why I'm going to do it and get custom tunes and a CAI after my tax return comes in. Thinking about putting the headers on after I get all that.

Your gonna need tunes for headers, I would jsut run the canned tunes, THEN get custom tunes when you are getting close to that time.

Friday morning wreck here in Monroe.....



Here, you can see just how hard they hit., The rim is busted up pretty bad.



It was a teenage girl driving the stang..



I just don't understand why parents buy or let these unexperiance drivers, drive these powerful cars on wet roads. The paper said that, she lost control after she started to spin the tires. That's a nice chunck of change gone to waste right there.

If you never driven ANYTHING before, you need to start out with a Ford Fiesta. Doesn't go fast enough to wreck, but if you do wreck, oh well.

Was anyone hurt?

Justin, it happened on Louiville bridge. You know, that bridge has the metal gratting on it. It's slick even when it's not raining.

My first car was an 82 5.0 but I also bought it and ended up building it from the ground up as I had the money so, it really depends on the person for the vehicle. I also drove mine year round in north dakota.

My first car was a 1986 Suzuki Samuri and I my parents bought that particular vehicle just for the reason pictured above. I also learned how to drive in my dads Suburban and 3/4 P/U from work. When my step son gets his license he will get an underpowerd manual transmission vehicle as well if I have any say in the matter.

Yea agree about the cell phone and driving not mixing. I didn't have to worry about that stuff when I got my license at 14. I had also been driving for a while on the farm. Seems like every teenager is getting spoiled and driving all these new vehicles and have no idea what it is to really take care of a vehicle and take responseability for them or their actions.

My first car was a 1950 Plymouth coupe that my Dad and I towed home when I was 13. Cost was $50. We(he) rebuilt the engine and had about $150 in it. I traded it for a 1951 Pontiac, straight 8, coupe, and got $150 boot. Th Pontiac was an oil burner, but clean and ran good. Traded it for a 1951 Ford club coupe with no tranmission and got $50 boot. Put a transmission in it for $45. Drove it awhile and sold it for $295. Bought a 1954 Ford coupe for $695, I was now 16, and it was 1959. I put a 57 TBird engine in it, painted it purple and redid the interior in black and white. Drove it through 2 years of college. Sure wish I had it back!
