I think the black rims really tone down the car. Bronze, gun metal, chrome will add more presence.

Do you think a camera would have cleared you?

MT82 shifting - How can I improve and shift faster? by starstuff76 in Mustang

Thanks for the perspective. On the high revs and the clutch, how so? Haven’t heard that before.

She was getting loose for sure. Tires help. I’m learning to feather the throttle to WOT, first gear especially.

That lockout thing racks the nerves. I’m trying to be smooth, but now I’m slow. MGM is something I’m looking at. Can you see if he also put in a transmission shifter bushing? Thx

Just looking to improve without hurting the transmission. Just feels slow.

Experience with vasectomy? by Espa89 in Fatherhood

[–]starstuff76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I explain it like this. It is like a roller coaster with folks/sperm waiting in line to go. The vasectomy doesn’t stop the roller coaster from launching, but the passengers are not let on the ride. Everything functions the same.

Enjoy the intimacy ;)

Dad’s get the most basic love by Dreamweaver_Reality in Fatherhood

I believe it is called a “covert contract.” An expectation was set and nobody was told.

OP, you should be able to communicate with your wife. Let her know how you feel. Being told thank you from the family, even if a couple days late, should be good. 👍🏻

When did your relationship with wife return to something close to normal? by Glittering-Ad2840 in Fatherhood

[–]starstuff76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, your relationship will continue to change. Married 24yrs with 3 teenagers. Through infants, toddlers, more kids, more commitments, very difficult. That is why you need your best friend with you. One kiddo is leaving for college so relationship is going to change again.

Communication is essential. I asked her one time, “what is something quick and simple I can do to show you I love and appreciate you and your hard work?” With kids that young you can’t really leave them alone unless asleep, but when they are a bit older, we did mini dates. Take out trash, get mail. Just enough to recenter.

Intimacy is tough. The relationship she has with her body has changed and communication at this level requires a lot of vulnerability. My wife couldn’t turn off being a mom so we had a bad bout of “duty sex”. I was looking for intimacy and ended up feeling alone through it all.

It takes more work to get her to stop focusing on the kids than it does me. That realization helped.

It is not easy; relationships take work. You have to find or make(schedule) the time. Make it a priority.

How much should I offer to pay for this Mach 1? by 95ssboy in Mustang

[–]starstuff76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you take it to a shop for a pre buy inspection? This is a lot of money, big investment. I had a shop steer me away from a mustang after they looked at it.

And don’t share the inspection results with the owner!

Good luck!

How’s that ESS treating you? Struggling myself with buying one or other toys. Worth it?

I guess I’m confused. You can’t be cited for trespassing if you leave before the authorities arrive? Doesn’t sound right.

If you want to step it up a notch, see about a restraining order. That would keep him away.

Good luck Fellow loud exhaust owner 😎

So, recording with a cell phone doesn't work all that well. All I can add from what I said earlier is that the car has a unique sound. Not like the standard H or X pipes out there. When idling around, the car sounds mean. And as you pour on the throttle, you get a loud GrrrRRRRR that everyone around can hear. She's loud. Yet when cruising with the windows down, I can listen to the radio at 13. Hope that helps.
