Did the title grab your attention? LOL.  :blah:

Anyhow..... I'm done paying off my car today!

Woo Hoo!  :dance2: :smoke: :punk: :yeah: :yell:

What a nice feeling. Finally. Now the serious modding can actually begin.....   :headhurt:

On another note, I went and picked up a fresh 5gal pail of VP's M1 Methanol today as a small celebration of this achievement, and was pleasantly surprised to have seen the price come down quite a bit.

I walked out the door (with IL's exorbitant tax rates included) under $35.

Talk about a shocker. Last Summer it was running me nearly $49 p/ 5gal pail.

So good times all abound today. Just thought I'd share.

Continued Happy Motoring there fellow Ecobooster's!  :beer2:

Thanks Manu!  :thankyou:

It is a good feeling for sure.  :kakashi4:

1st up on the menu will be a nifty set of those Wilwood big brake upgrade(s) from TCE.

Gonna do the front axle 1st (within the next 3 weeks or so). I plan on upgrading the rotors, pads, and some other add ons, with intentions of doing the same set on the rears after that.

Still pricey, but given the quality of product involved, no complaints by any means.  :nono:

Still waiting on the updates reference that after market IC upgrade (dyno's etc.). Since that vendor's located just North of the "Cheddar Curtain" I might be up for a drive to see them in person.  :drive:

Ummmm what else? Oh not sure. I've always had some thoughts of doing some interior mods as far as drawing in the two-tone black/white theme into the interior.

So much left to do..... But man, my baby's come a long way since I bought her......

Still just as thrilled driving her as the day I brought her home from the dealership!

Have you thought about some kind of steering wheel leather upgrade? I've always wanted a better leather on mine but I'm not sure if I should trust someone to do it.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.
