So you like being broke down on the side of the road, how brave :D

My family had the ninth gen turbo and it was only good for overheating and that was the big issue of many Ford cars to share that engine and even some with the 5.0. 10th gen was a bit better though.

I'm a mechanic. I know how to deal with these things. ;)
 
That's great and all, I know how to deal with plenty as well, the issue is why should you have to ;)

Since when have hobbies been logical and reasonable? You do it because you like it and can afford it.. Well, honestly speaking, even if you can't afford it! :lol:

If it is this sure. If it is working on my daily driver that isn't much of a hobby, nor is it why I spend those years learning to repair or rework, and fabricate stuff. Especially on a frequent basis as the ninth gen t-birds needed it. If you own and are working on a ninth gen t-bird then I'm pretty sure your money isn't bleeding away those cars don't cost much if anything, parts are easy to find.

And yet it has nothing to do with this, compared to those car this is and always will be the standout.
 
Does seem kind of a girlie car to me. Especially when you add the Barbie-pink color that was a thing in the 50's. I don't know, something about the styling seems a little bit weak to me.
 
At least 1 Cadillac was available in pink.

Chrysler back in the late 60's had pink on some of their muscle cars at that time.

Bruce Springsteen even wrote a song called Pink Cadillac. (I'd prefer a slick black Cadillac, or even an off-black one myself.)

Pink is also the color most associated with breast cancer awareness. (Boobs are awesome.)
 
Pink on Charger and Challenger? You what...?

Pink on El Dorado though, that's legit. So is aswell on a Thunderbird. If I ever saw a Thunderbird from the '50's, I'd so ask or say "Dude, nice color choice for this car, you have excellent taste."

There may be other cars in pink that look perfect.
 
Isn't this a girls' car?

It's all good fun until daddy takes it away.

That's one sloooooow burning punchline. :D

This car, somehow, has never really done anything for me... even with its own Beach Boys' song. But even if I don't care for it, I will turn my head to look at one when it goes by.

So, low cool.
