It seems like you plan on keeping it and 1 permanent fix is roughly the equivalent of 2 upgraded stock replacements which you’ll probably have to do eventually, anyway, so save yourself the grief and fix it for good. Never having to do a job like that again is worth a few hundred bucks on top of a couple of…

Why does it need grille bagels instead of just grille mesh? That is not attractive.

I don’t like Fieros but that doesn’t matter at all right now because, as a fellow car lover, this is just heartbreaking to read about. Thank you for linking to the GoFundMe.

It was more luck of the draw than anything. They were both mostly problem free cars.

I put pretty much all of the miles on mine. It was only a few years old with less than 30k on the clock when I bought it for around $12k. I think it was 2006, but I don’t remember. My current v60 is a ‘16. I almost bought a VW GTI instead, and I’m glad I went with the Volvo. Now I’m thinking about an ND Miata for my…

V70, 2001, it was a typo, or maybe a Freudian slip since I now own a V60

My survivor, a ‘97 Maxima with a manual, was just put out to pasture over structural rust issues. It had 430k miles. I had it for 22 years. May it rest in peace. It’s the 2nd one I’ve had to put down in 5 years, after my 390k mile Volvo V60 bent it’s valves when the serpentine belt, soaked by oil from the leaking cam…

My father had one of these for a work car when I was a kid. He loved it. He drove it into the ground and it never had any problems that weren’t related to age (rust, the exhaust fell off, it had a leak or 2, etc.). It got 31 mpg whether you were pushing it to the limit or having a lethargic cruise and it was a blast…

I bet those ball joints will break loose next weekend if you just keep hitting them with penetrating oil and let it soak in.

You mean I took the time to come up with serious consumer advice and put it into a comment just for no one to ever even consider it!? Dammit! I really thought I was on to something.

Interior shot:

Wow, thank you. I’m flattered but, unfortunately, I have as many stupid things to say as good things.

For the guy/gal that has everything.

I hadn’t considered that perspective. I think knowing what one looks like kept me from seeing it like that.

Or an actual old Mustang instead of a new copy of an old one that’s made out of expensive materials just for the sake of being expensive.

For $270,000 you could buy 4 new GT350's and have enough money left over to rent a race track for 1 weekend a year for the next several years for an annual racing party.

Too bad we’re gonna miss out on seeing all those sick new prototypes.

You can buy timing belt kits that include all of the “while you’re in there stuff” at all sorts of places online.

THAT is magnificent!
