Well my school does this little thing at the back of all their papers called "Beauty & The Beast" where the highlight a nice car and a not so nice car each month. This month it was my turn. Note: I didnt write the caption and the kids who did arent the brightest of the bunch, and apparently cant read their own notes, and thus think my car has WSG suspension. Whatever. lol.

 

they really stretched out the pic of you and your car...but congrats man...dont tell everyone you dont have a catalytic converter! lol

 

Yea, they are not too great at the whole crop or resize deal. They dont check for emissions here in MI anyways.

 

i'm really shocked they asked how much you paid for it...but congrats on it. i submitted a few pictures for my school's "car of the week" article in the newspaper we'll see how that goes

 

Everyone that gets a ride in the mercury tracer has to sign the kid's seat. That is absolutely halarious.

 

That's pretty sweet. However, when I was in high school that sort of thing would be a huge advertisement for someone to jack your ride.

props on selling the stang for a nice GTA and pocketing some extra cash.

 

The car went up for the winter last weekend

 

hey matt arn;t you in the class that does the paper? i thought if you were in the class that you couldnt; have your car in it?

haha thats what im saying lol around here something nice being advertised all across the school ends up having the ahtch busted open my subs gone my amp gone could be the whole car but they dont have the brains for that one. but yah no advertising of my car lol

 

I'm not in journalism II.

 

You sold a 70 Mach I for it!?!?!

Tell me the Mach had some serious problems.

 

It was a project car. 351Cleveland 4v with a shaker hood. Grabber Orange. No rust at all, had a great body. Bought the car for 3500, sold off about 3000 in parts and then sold the remaining for 3500.

But I like the TA much better.

 

yea fortunatly i can advertise my car at my college without it being busted into. there's already been a '67 stang and a croch rocket (bike of the week) and another Z28 is going in this week....i'm not worried about it, it's a small campus about 6,000 students...

 

HAHA I got a 89 Tracer Wagon... its a Rally Project I have been working on...I just find it funny that someone else actualy has one!

 

do those things have front wheel drive?

 

I am a big fan of the 70's Mach 1's. I don' t know if I would have gotten rid of that for a thirdgen

Either way, its nice to see how high school newspaper grammer hasn't changed. Still has horrible as ever.

 

that's pretty cool. I wish my HS did something like that, but then again I had a Dodge Aries K-car when I was in High School! And I never would've listed the stereo at my school! In fact, I'd make it a point to have them write "radio shack deck and crappy stock paper cone speakers"

 

The mach I needed total restoration. It was the nicest mustang body we'd ever seen but, the fact was it wouldnt have been done for many years, as Ill be off to college next year. So.. I can drive the TA now, I think its worth it. The mach I was sharp, I was going to make it pro-touring look. But I got sick of not having a car to drive.

 

That's pretty flippin sweet. Too bad my school doesn't have anything like that. Although the only cars at my school are daddy's Mercedes, late model Mustangs, and primered-up pocket rockets... Damn it's good havin' a third gen.

Congrats on the recognition.
