    Only if it's in a boring car.

    I love my automatic and wouldn't change it for anything. Nice quick neck-snapping shifts, consistant, and my left leg & low back doesn't get tired...;)

    Ok wow what a strange post, look if your car dies while you are driving it you don't have power steering OR power brakes, no biggie this isn't and LTD or worse yet a 72 Newport, it is no big deal just push the brake harder thats all and keep up the maintainence, By the way whats with the gloom and doom in your messages ( quotes), to live life is to .... To Live life is to live each day to the fullest do the best you can and have fun along the way.. Oh and to be a "Maverick"
    Sorry you live in an area that is high crime, I feel for you, I wouldn't want to live in that environment. But your quotes make you sound like you're ready to cash it in.. Don't give up dude, and don't dwell on the negative, your only 16 HAVE fun!!

    hell yeah! dude lose the poem i just read it kinda scary.you are young if you got missed 20 times you are one lucky person!hit the car shows and find someone who can help you out with info.i can't relate to your area because i live in the country.but keep studying stay in school join the military or go to college and you will get past your current situation!most all my nephews went into the military and they all came out with a career they could use in the rest of their life.the army needs mechanics you have the interest use it to your advantage.

    That's not a poem,it's lyrics to "fade to black"by Metallica off Ride the lightning."To live is to die" is off ..and justice for all.Metallica fan just a bit?

    oh yeah....power brakes.....and power steering.......a "true" muscle car has neither... just teasing.... i dont want anything taking power away from the engine.....

    my non power brakes work pretty good...they are drums and discs would be better...but it will stop....eventually..

    My '81 Ford pickup is a manual trans. Been driving it for years, and shifting those gears is not my idea of "fun". To each his own though. Nice thing about Mavericks is that they were available with either type...
