Help Long Time Board Member, FritoBandito, Negotiate a 5.0 Mustang Purchase
Frito tweeted that he was thinking of selling his truck to buy a new Mustang and the official Mustang twitter account responded to him. Thought we could have some fun and maybe help a board memeber purchase a discounted muscle car with some retweets.

Asking for a friend.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
Lmao well done
November 8th, 2017 at 9:10 PM ^
I’m all for this, it’s fun.
But as someone who works for Ford, I know that they ain’t gonna give him shiiit
November 8th, 2017 at 9:24 PM ^
Have bought Fords for years but my last one is my last one...12 hours labor to tear apart the entire front end to replace a 100 dollar water pump...would like to meet the designer who dreamed this up
November 8th, 2017 at 9:27 PM ^
Good luck solving this problem by simply buying a different badge.

when they do the timing belt in many cars, because it's a pain in the ass to get to.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
You're going to be better of to walk everywhere you go. You're going to be badly disappointed.
November 9th, 2017 at 1:31 PM ^
The only way aound this is to buy an old car.
November 9th, 2017 at 4:27 PM ^
Automotive styling drives lots of difficult decisions in terms of packaging components in the modern engine compartment. Today's muscle car is not your grandfather's muscle car.

+1 informative title
November 8th, 2017 at 9:12 PM ^
Unless it's a 60s mustang its a waste of money
November 8th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
You're nuts.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
Because of the thinness that just looks like a souped-up Cooper Mini,
November 8th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
If you're getting a Shelby Super Snake confused with a Mini Cooper you don't deserve a Shelby Super Snake.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:36 PM ^
I think his point is, at least on the app, the picture is formatted weird, so the car is all out of proportion and does resemble a mini.
November 8th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
Yeah, it was more a comment on the picture formatting than on the car, which I'm sure is a fine automobile.
November 9th, 2017 at 7:40 AM ^
Shelby Super Snake sounds like a porn name.
November 9th, 2017 at 2:24 PM ^
Hey, Shelby left that life behind long ago. He's a legit actor now! He was great with J-Lo and Ice Cube in Anaconda.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:53 PM ^
I was going to say a slimmed down Vdub.
November 15th, 2017 at 11:10 AM ^
I prefer the Mini.
In fact, I'm thinking next ride I have to buy will be a convertible Mini.
Wish it was made in a hybrid...
November 8th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
Care to elaborate? Or are you just full of shit?
November 8th, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
Nicholas Cage from Gone in 60 Seconds?? Is that you?
November 8th, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
I only like the 64 1/2 under mustangs
November 8th, 2017 at 11:51 PM ^
Has a 2017 GT this summer... really enjoyed it ! Traded it in for the f-150. Got the small cab and the short box with the big engine. It’s insanely quick !
November 9th, 2017 at 5:19 PM ^
Whoa... let's back up for a minute. We all know it's either got to be a mustang II or bust.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
Mustangs don’t hold value and get dusted off the line
November 8th, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
99.1% of the cars sold in the world do not hold their value.
Fords are Fords. Found on Road Dead. But I will say the new Mustangs are nice. Ford did a great job in the redesign/engineering of the new model.
Who here really sits at a stop light waiting to dust someone off the line?
Most people never extract the power/perfromance of their sports cars. It's mostly about the "hey look at me!" factor.
Lastely, it's his money so why do you care what he buys?
November 9th, 2017 at 2:22 AM ^
Do your homework and stop talking without knowing. Ford products don’t hold a candle to the charger, challenger, srt or limited build dodge line. The dodge models are all really fast daily drivers, that have near luxury interiors, including the hellcats etc. And they not only hold value, but often have “equity” at lease end (ie market value > residual). If you drive a top of the line mustang cobra versus a hellcat (or even a standard srt or even a scat pack) there isn’t really a competition. And those of us without our balls in a jar on the shelf do push our vehicles hard and do dust people off the line.
November 9th, 2017 at 3:42 AM ^
My opinion of you is that you suck at being a good person. But that's just my opinion, man.
November 9th, 2017 at 7:05 AM ^
lol. "I'm a man because I sit in something someone else built and stomp my foot real fast." I'm sure all the people you've dusted off the line are very jealous of you.
November 9th, 2017 at 10:13 AM ^
No. I'm a man because I'm 40. Come at me!
November 9th, 2017 at 9:31 AM ^
It is possible to push your vehicles hard without being a douche and thinking you're in a quarter mile drag race with anyone that pulls up next to you at a light.
November 9th, 2017 at 1:38 PM ^
Hellcats are really fast, but when it's time to slow down and turn, they're not so fabulous.
Hellcat horsepower: 707 hp. Hellcat weight: 4448 lbs.
Mustang GT350 horsepower: 526 hp. Mustang GT350 weight: 3650 lbs.
Quarter mile times aren't everything.
November 9th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
You must destroy those soccer moms in mini vans! Do you say cool things about living your life a quarter mile at a time too?
November 9th, 2017 at 9:32 PM ^
If all you're trying to do is dust people off the line. You can make 700 horses in a chevy or a Ford for far less than 65k. You can take off those Slowpar shades now.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:21 PM ^
Can I testdrive it like I stole it?
November 8th, 2017 at 9:26 PM ^
You mean FOUND ON ROAD DEAD?! I DON'T THINK SO, CHEVY 4 LYFE
But yeah, nah that'd be cool if he got a new mustang for that price
November 8th, 2017 at 9:29 PM ^
Maybe the talking cars Tuesday gang can help out?
November 8th, 2017 at 9:38 PM ^
I thought for sure this would be another "Go Fund Me" request.
November 8th, 2017 at 10:06 PM ^
Have a go fund me for Otis. What happen to your sexbit stick figure wife!
November 8th, 2017 at 9:44 PM ^
Thank you Bo. I work in the field. Challenger front ends clunk and ride like a lumber wagon. I'm much too tall for a camaro and can't see a lick out of them. 435+ Hp ride for under $30000.. 2018 are estimated at 460hp. God almighty I want one
November 8th, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
If you have Netflix check out “Head 2 Head”. They dedicate a few episodes to testing Detroit’s finest new muscle cars side by side and it’s fucking great hearing an American V8 screaming around a track and recoding times that have the Europeans taking notice. Fine products coming out of Detroit right now.
November 8th, 2017 at 10:08 PM ^
Will do.
November 8th, 2017 at 9:47 PM ^
As long as he puts the ragtop down so his hair can blow
November 8th, 2017 at 9:50 PM ^
I'm a hardtop guy. Forever and ever.
November 8th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
you missed the reference, you don't deserve a 5.0
see you at A 1A, beachfront avenue.
November 8th, 2017 at 11:01 PM ^
I'm tryin' to get away before the jackers jack
November 9th, 2017 at 1:10 AM ^
shay with the gauge
November 8th, 2017 at 9:52 PM ^
