Paul, Man of Mustangs

You do realize that he was simply listing the things that people would troll about?

So far, I have heard that he was not one of the ones sent to the hospital, but still haven't gotten a hold of him.

Yeah, it's kinda ironic, I know. I love me some Mustangs, but I'm not letting that get in the way of a perfectly good job.

It was definitely a battery. Some coworkers mentioned there was a chemical taste in the air right after the explosion. Could have been someone being careless, or someone overheated the battery, but it definitely burst and there were fires started and smoke billowing out of the lab.

That's what I do, so yes. I do solar, hot and cold testing, at the North end of the building. This was roughly in the middle.

This is the same building where I work. The explosion was down the hall from my lab about 200 feet. I have a friend that works in the battery lab, hopefully he's alright and not one of the injured ones. I will provide details as I learn them.

I think just for the fluids in the cars. The rest is steel and rubber. And maybe aluminum, too.

People holding beverages or food near or, worse, over the car while peering inside/looking at the engine, etc. I don't want your sticky, greasy, mustard-covered junk food landing on my paint and making a sticky, staining mess that I invariably am forced to clean because of their incompetence. Because of this, if I

I will admit, my paintjob is pretty bad. I'm not very good at painting, and I'm not quite patient enough to wetsand, so I'm not too worried. However, I don't want more scratches than are already present. That being said, I'm OK with people grazing their finger tips along the creases, as that is not very noticeable and

Trust me, if you're showing your car and want to answer questions about your car, you want lawn chairs. Sorry, but after wandering for several hours and going back to my car for some Q&A time with passers by, I want to sit down. My feet hurt, I'm tired, and I just want to sit in the shade.

I have no faith in humanity, so if my paintjob was actually up to par, I would have "Do Not Touch" signs all over. People with their watches, rings, cufflinks, metal-buttoned pants, leaning all over your car and scratching it to hell. Besides, I don't want to have to wipe down my car every half hour just because some

I had a conversation with one a while ago at a gas station. Apparently, he had blown the motor in his Civic because of too much ignition advance or too much compression, and didn't put in premium. He had no idea what premium gas did, or even that knocking was bad. I gave him the benefit of the doubt right until that

[www.jonkaaseracingengines.com] Didn't seem too bad for Kaase. Just some motor mounts, *edit, headers too* and angle the radiator out a bit. Might be able to get away with the stock trans for a while, but a T56 Magnum would be a good swap.

Speaking of jet watching, I was skiing at Steven's Pass in the Washington Cascades (pretty rough terrain), when a couple F-18s popped over a mountain and went right back into a valley, probably no higher than 1000ft above the ground at any given time, soon followed by an F-22. That was a pretty impressive sight.

The Mustang merely has evolved with the times. Relatively speaking, it has always held the same spot in the performance and appeal range, until recently. It has always been an affordable, low-mid range performance vehicle that appeals to the under 35 crowd. It began to grow when cars were getting huge, and shrank when

I will say that I refrained from voting because of my quite strong bias.

And why didn't you? I know I'd do it in a hearbeat if I had an S197 and the money for a Boss '9

My guess? Jay Leno. He drives all his cars, and he has a special fondness for Shelbys. I would not be surprised if he bought one.

However, anything graced by the Shelby name (well, almost anything) is sure to do nothing but become more valuable. This is more a car for rich investors who want to sell it at auction in 20-30 years because it has quintupled in value, or are genuine Shelby collectors. Sure, there'll be a few celebrities that buy
