"textContent": "\n\nWhy this neighborhood insists on such hideous rims, on so MANY cool old cars, I do not know\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nit was sitting there 2 months ago with a flat front tire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI almost bought a Mustang like this, but fastback, in 1988, when I was in high school. The only problem that the seller, the mom of a co-worker knew of, was a busted timing chain. 500 bucks.\n\n\n\n\nI STILL regret that my asshole step dad didn't step up, back my chance at that Mustang, as I had the money. I didn't have the tools, or know how, to do an engine rebuild... but hell, it was a 289, that's not a jigsaw puzzle.\n\n\n\n\nAnyway, that was the one chance I recall nearly having at a fixer upper, cheap, and cool",
