Nice.. what are you building?
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

I'm actually appending to an existing build - 2012 Mustang with a carbureted 427 Windsor.

Jealous.. I'd quite fancy a Mustang myself, they just started putting the steering on the correct side over here recently
The standard model is pretty reasonably priced too (considering the price of other comparable cars) but running a 5L V8 in the UK is an expensive job. The 2.3L EcoBoost just isn't the same experience..

I heard they're dropping the V6 from the lineup in 2018... When my car was a V6, I was getting 31-34mpg on the freeway if I babied it.
Now, it gets 6mpg - if I baby it.

Just out of curiosity, how much is gas where you live? Here in Italy it's about 6$ per gallon. My car makes 38 - 42 mpg depending mostly on outside temperature, but I mounted a GPL tank. It consumes about 1.5 times as much but it costs 1/3 of gasoline at about 2$ per gallon, with an average of 25 mpg.

$2.19 I think (I use 93 octane in the car). I don't really pay much attention to the price because, well, gas...

Our gas is usually 95 octanes, but woah if it's cheap there. Basically it costs as much as GPL here, which is the most economic fuel - but has also a poor power. I wouldn't use it for anything over 1.2L as it becomes less and less efficient the higher the compression volume of the engine.

Friday about noon, I got a message from the wife that 2 of my 16 year old son's friends had frantically texted her that he was saying that he was going to run away and kill himself that night. (His girlfriend of over a year had ended the relationship Thursday at lunch.) I immediately contacted the school and they got him into the counselor's office.
We went from there to a local mental health facility and he was admitted. He is still there and angry with his parents. He may be released any time in the next few days. We haven't met with the officials yet to see what treatment plan they recommend.
He has been battling this for 2 years now with several semi-violent outbursts. He has hit the wall and shoved me but no punches at people so far.
