For the hell of it, I dunno I like to be different. I'm already the only Asian in town not rockin an Import so might as well lol. Just a few days ago I was at a gas station and a guy offered me 6k for my 3.8 Mustang with 170k miles so I said **** it and bought the Bird the same night for $1800 >.<

Not to mention No Waxing haha, all I do is Power Wash and Call it a day

It's different that's for sure. I'm used to seeing this kind of thing on a lifted off-road truck more than a car!

Firebird Used to be White:





Mustang Was Silver:





No offense but this **** is Ugly. Good way to ruin an american muscle. Dont come up with any ideas of adding a body kit and a big fat rear wing thatll add 200hp. You should of done a satin black or matte black. I know your asian and all but dont bring japanese ideas to america. If you want to do something different then add a wide bodykit or something then some big fat deepdish wheels.

Looks like you ruined two perfectly good cars. You're not the first though, and you're definitely not the last. Kudos for running into the only idiot in America that would want that mustang and have $6k to get it. Lol.
