Nice car, nice color, nice name, lol. But hey, about the V6 thing--IMO, it's better to work your way up to the power...if I had my current car when I was 17 and not the V6 Mustang that I had at the time, I probably would have wrecked it.

Welcome. Nice ride, but you coulda had an LS1 for that price. Would you mind elaborating on the brake job gone bad? There' s only so much you can do so wrong, that a shop would have to fix it, in regards to a brake job. It must be pretty cool living in Carlisle with all the big car shows they host!

Ain' t that a bitch? A power window motor shouldn' t take all weekend. How are the motors mounted in F-bodies? Three 10 mm bolts, or three rivets? Never replaced one.
