    Thank you. It sure doesn't look like it's lived its life on a gravel road in Minnesota.

    To scratch the speed itch I still have my 2009 Suzuki DR650 dual-sport, my 2013 Triumph Tiger 800XC "Adventure-touring" bike and my 2016 Kawasaki Versys 1000LT sport-touring bike.

    Previous Saturday wash and Shine.
    Took her to the store. While I was inside this ~28 year old lady approached me and said - "I don't want to sound weird but is that your Marrrauder?".

    I replied yes and she said is't beautiful, a friend just got one. He also has 3 Mustangs. Pic below.

    Today I took a ride to the lake and stopped to get gas on the way back. While at the pump 2 guys in their mid 20's came by and said we had to come by to see the car. One said he hadn't seen one in a while.

    Well Dragcity, it was 68° F here in NYC & zero chance of rain so I washed her!

    Ordered metco control arms. Will probably procrastinate installing them like I have with swapping in the 31 spline axles.

    Unplugged and plugged in MAF a bunch of time. Now my car runs correct, lol. Thanks Marty
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard
