Daily Driver:
'97 Mazda Protege LX. 1.5L DOHC I-4, 5 spd, K&N filter, KYB GR-2 struts, performance radiator (not needed, but the stock one leaked and this was cheap), Bosch cap, rotor, and wires, NGK Iridium IX plugs, and 40+ MPG in the summer. These are old pics, but the best i have. I ditched those hideous hub caps and got some Ford Escort wheels for it, looks much better now.

Fun Car/Toy:
'02 Ford Mustang GT. 4.6L SOHC V-8, 5 speed, Steeda short-throw shifter w/ Bullitt shift handle, boot, and ring, Steeda adjustable timing pulley, K&N CAI, C&L 80mm MAF, Magnaflow catback (stock manifolds, cats, H-pipe, etc.), Steeda UDP kit (put Ford pulley back on the alternator, Steeda pulley was causing alternator problems), Mach 1 chin spoiler, Bullitt pedals. Stock suspension but it rides and handles a ton better than the Mazda

These are the AutoTrader pics, don't have any good ones of my own yet. The side windows are tinted at 25%, the rear at 35%, and it has SpeedHui white-faced gauges now.

And the incredible noise it makes:

I need to get a better exhaust vid, that was taken cold and I didn't want to rev the piss out of a cold engine.

EDIT: The question that's really got me right now is: Do I want a Barrett M95 or should I pull the engine (still under 100k miles, just) and have it completely rebuilt and tricked out. The Barrett is about $4,000 and with that much money I could get 500HP or so
