all beaters require some form of maintenance sooner or later, don't kid yourself.

I don't know, lots of assholes abuse and don't maintain the fox so eventually something breaks. Fortunately it is usually something minor, like brake pads wearing out from rapidly stopping after blowing the doors off a redneck's IROC Camaro.

this is a sub frame connector

nope, I was, cause I was in Jr. high and creeping on Jr. high girls while in Jr. high isn't creepin' it is normal. They new getting a ride to school in your dad's mustang is still cooler than getting a ride in a crappy diesel benz.

Love and respect the W123 all you want, the winner should have been the fox. It has to be the greatest car you can pick up for $2000 or less. Plus it is available in coupe, convertible and hatch. And you're right, the Fox ain't a bad car, it is a great one.

I thought the douchebag stereotype went hand it hand with motocross riders. Sick bike bro, you go ill today?

Proud it made it to the final, disappointed the greatness of the Fox didn't win a landslide victory for the common man.

Why because I played by the rules and charged appropriate prices for fixing car? Or because I prefer the Ford everyone can afford over the Mercedes. Maybe I'm just in a Cunty mood because quite possibly the greatest car of the 80s met it's demise to an overstuffed Euro-luxo-barge.

You spelled "Best State Ever" worng.

Right, and girl I worked with right out of high school had a 300,000 mile Mustang GT, auto (AOD was notoriously crappy), that looked good, ran strong and only had the water pump and alternator replaced in its lifetime. Mustang also bulletproof.

Well, I'm in California. We have shit tons of Euro trash here and they are all expensive to fix. I know this, I was a service writer for years. I loved it when a tired Euro shit heap came in, it was time to make a fat commission on over priced parts and twice the labor cost as your average vehicle.

$100 subframe connectors. Problem solved. Next!!!!

I don't suck at driving so i'm not crashing my fox....

Well W123 parts can ONLY be found in Europe. I can't fix the W123 in the parking lot of Autozone with some channel locks and a hammer.

Disagree, they are easily accessible in North America, South America and Austrailia. Proliferation of the small block ford is wide spread.

Clearly, the Fox Body Mustang was the winner. How can a luxury car with inaccessible, expensive parts be a beater. I have lost all faith in the jalopnik community after this travesty.

blah blah blah 5.0 forever!

We round up in America. 5.0 for the win.

5.0
