Very nice. I like the Kenwood Navigation/Entertainment. Grabber orange is my second favorite color, behind silver of course! Nice trade.

Thanks. The Grabber Orange gets me where I live; it's not the norm.

I got a Billet Delete Antenna, which, they said on the web site, will not work as an antenna. Which does not bother me, since I am a XM/iPod/DVD guy in the car. So I got it, and put it on, and tried out the FM for the heck of it, and it works!

How about that! Not bad, and it looks super sanio at that!

I am thinking of doing that as well. On the other hand, the chrome of the billet matches other chrome parts on the car...not sure. But, here are two pictures from today, to show it off.

And, someone else just pointed out to me, that the molding I have on the side, that is only on 'fleet' cars. Is that true? I know that the previous owner was the dealer that I bought the Mustang from. The car is in great shape, so I am not worried about that; in fact, it looks as if it was kept show room new.

I like the molding, makes the car even more special to me.

Nice trade, and great color choice! I might be biased on the color, but I like Grabber Orange

Cool color! Have you gone here: GrabberOrange.net :: Index yet? If not, it's a site fer you!

I went and pulled the trigger on a CAI, and while it's not the Ford (after talking to a bunch of people, it just seems that the Ford would not bring me as much HP to the buck as this one)...

The Generation II FIPK® is K&N's ultimate performance product, designed to increase power by as much as 10%. Most FIPK's are street legal in all 50 US states and come with a Million Mile Limited Warranty. K&N intake systems replace your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your vehicle's engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The filters on these kits are washable and reusable. Most of our intake kits are relatively easy to install using tools commonly available.

And I noticed on the way home, some more 'umph' as it were. I love the way it looks at least.

No need to tune it, and maybe later, I will get a better one, but for now, I am happy with this.

But that was not all the mods done today......

I also got some PONY mats for the car, and then a PONY oil cap! Nothing too much, really, but you know, a mod is a mod...

On another Mustang forum, I submitted a photo for a Halloween contest...natural, given the color of the car. So I thought I would show that one here.

And then the 'cover' shot as well.

Yeah you read that right. I won an award for Boaz on Saturday, First Place, in my classification, '05-'08 V6 Mustangs. And let me tell you, there was some serious cars there in my class. In fact, they had announced all these other, (IMHO), well appointed cars, with tricks galore, and I figured they were done, and I had not won, which I kind of expected. Heck, I even said when I entered that my 'plain Jane' Mustang would not shine against the others, but what the heck, you know?

And so they announced the winner in my class, and that was me! First Place!


I am shocked! Now I was the only Grabber Orange colored car there, but still....First Place! And I'm not kidding; these other cars in my class were really sweet!

Thanks! I love driving this car every day!

I got a back up camera from KENWOOD which works with my Kenwood unit in the car. Not only is this a useful tool in backing up, but also, you can turn it on while driving down the road.
Here is the model:

The Kenwood CCD-2000 rear-view camera is a must have for any car with monitors. This accessory will allow you to see behind your car through your monitor, with a great resolution, and a wide viewing angle.

The big difference between this one and the ones made by the cheaper brands, is that this one has a really clear picture and you can see a wider picture with a much larger viewing angle. This one is much smaller, so you can fit it into even the smallest space, where it will not be in your way.

This can come in very handy when parking, to make sure you do not bang into other cars. This will work with any mobile video monitor which has a free video input that you can plug this in too. It is easy to install, and is guaranteed to have a very clear picture.

The wiring and bracket and wiring is all included, so just wire it to your monitor and install it in less than half hour!

Features:

* 130° horizontal and 96° vertical viewing angles
* excellent near field view of anything behind you
* mirror image for rear view confirmation
* Adhesive backed camera bracket
* 2 Installation bolts
* a lock-washer
* flat-washer installed on each bolt
* Small hideaway power supply box (0.825" x 0.856" x 2.795") w/ 2-pin Molex plug on one end that connects to the camera and an extension harness which plugs into the cameras cable connector, to supply power and signal
* Molex plug with power, ground, and reverse wires attached
* 15 foot Composite video (RCA) cable
* built into a compact waterproof aluminum case
* perfect for mounting outside the vehicle
* 40" power wire
* 40"ground wire
* 16.5' reverse sensor wire
* All Wiring needed is included
* 1/4" color CCD camera
* 270,000 pixels (492 x 542 pixels)

* high quality picture

Here is a shot going down our alley behind the house:


Really, it looks so much better in real life then this photo, taken by my iPhone.

Two car shows with Boaz, two first places.

I went to the VINTAGE ON THE PARKWAY CAR SHOW 2008 and I won first place for my class ('00 and up) and there were some SERIOUS cars in that class. I really thought I would lose to this Super Sanio Corvette. But I won, which really surprised me!

Dang, now I'm worried. If I go to another car show and don't win, how sad will I be?


(Kidding!)
