from an 89, to a twenty twelve!

rauscher89lx · October 16th, 2011, 08:54 PM

So I was recently driving my fox down the highway after I just had some work done to it not to long before(h/c/i), and as I was approaching an exit ramp I heard the loudest banging, popping, and grinding noise as my car shut off, and I completely lost control but luckily saved it before it went off the road and down a valley. To get to the point, I'm done with the headaches for now, I've put a shit ton of money into my Fox body (yes I knew what I was in for, but didnt realize it was going to be this much), and without the time, and experience in the mechanical field, I'm throwing a cover on it and parking it in the driveway to hibernate for a little while. I know if I was to sell it, I wouldnt get close to half of what I paid/put into it. Hopefully over time I will fix it, but for now, I just bought myself a brand new 2012 5.0 and couldnt be happier! I completely fell in love, and am not dissapointed one bit. Its a GT premium, and dont have much more to say, besides no more headaches! ha. CHYEA!

That was a good move, my clutch just went and im lazy to replace it next weekend. I work all week. So car will be down. I like the new stang..

easy-stangkin · October 17th, 2011, 12:46 PM

Nice!!!

PONYMAN · October 17th, 2011, 06:22 PM

Nice new 5.0 , it's good to park the fox & let her rest.
You will get the fever & the money in time to bring her back alive.
My fox has been sitting for a couple of months & i finally had her towed to my friends garage & she is fixed & ready to go as soon as I get paid next week.
I appreciated the fact that he went on & repaired the car & got her ready to go for me.
All I have to do is drop the cost of repairs.

In truth , both cars look really good.

Congrats on the 2112 Stang !

ryanw · October 18th, 2011, 11:27 AM

I'm glad to hear that you kept the fox. Mine sat for almost 5years before I fixed mine. Since my new engine swap I'm only on my second tank of gas. Lol

04TRV6 · October 18th, 2011, 12:13 PM

nice addition! might be doing the same thing shortly once my fox is paid off.

VM0824 · October 18th, 2011, 01:26 PM

honestly if i had the money id do the same. butt buying a new 2012 isnt an option for me. sooo im stuck with kbb valued ($1500 fox) lol.

but still dude sweet new ride to reincarnate the 5.0!

thefinalgamer · October 18th, 2011, 07:09 PM

VM0824 · October 18th, 2011, 07:33 PM

Burn'nRubber · October 18th, 2011, 07:34 PM

Nobody likes a quitter. Haha just kidding man, nice pickup. I love the new 5.0s. So when ya going to pull the coyote and put it in the fox? lol

PhillyGT · October 18th, 2011, 08:50 PM

i feel ya dude.I work all week and it seems like every weekend i have to work on my car.From brakes to window motors,tune-ups,switches,transmissions,etc,etc.I have had a few and they do nickel and dime you to death.It sucks sometimes,but when you start that 5.0 up,all bullshit goes away!Everyday at work i cant wait to leave to take the 20 mile trip home and drive fast and recklessly as possible!.I too have been thinking about getting a newer one,just cause foxes are knida hard to live with as a daily driver.Im still deciding on putting even more money in my ride,or selling it and buying another stang.Good luck with the new one.Come back in a couple months and let us know if you miss your fox

rauscher89lx · October 19th, 2011, 08:16 PM

thanks everyone! this thing is so much more then what I expected.. the interior is sleek, the ride is smooth and comfortable, the steering is tight, and the power is amazing! ill keep you guys updated on the fox when i get it going again, but for now I guess I gotta turn myself to the 2011+ forum? haha.
