Things Gone Awry...


In case you were wondering if this
was a case of blog-neglect....
wonder no more!

We've had a series of misfortunate events
occur that have kept us busy....


2000 Mustang GT collage

One vehicle is out for the count.

Although the Mustang GT took the brunt of it,
he was able to walk away.


This sad event was followed by another
incident later that SAME day.

2002 Mustang GT: busted hose on the intake manifold

Seems that the 2002 Mustang GT wasn't too
thrilled that her SO was getting so much
attention that she threw a gasket!

Quite literally.
A new intake manifold is on the way
to replace the original, which is
manufactured with plastic
parts that tend to crack.

1987 Mustang 5.0

Then of course the 1987 Mustang 5.0
needed to get in on the action....twice.

One morning the car didn't want to start...
not even turn over. 
Turns out it was a simple fix -
the battery cable needed replacing.
Done.

A few days later, the serpentine belt
shredded to teeny-tiny bits
while I was on the highway.
I managed to limp the car home,
let it cool down and 
put the old belt back on.
Luckily, the engine didn't sustain
any damage....
that we know of.

Somewhere in between
all this craziness, the
Suburban was egged
in the middle of the night.

Sigh.

Live In It Winner

A few days ago, I was made aware the Live In It to Win It contest,
hosted by WYSP Radio in Philadelphia, where 4 people had to stay
in a 2011 Cherry Red Mustang, getting a 15 minute break every 3 hours....

Of the 4 people who began this contest, it was down to 2 people in the end,
and 12 days after the contest began, a winner was announced on July 2.

It came down to a vote, rather than who was able
to actually stay in the vehicle the longest.

Congratulations to the winner of the 2011 Mustang !

Hopefully the first stop was at a car wash to get
rid of all that trash that piled up over the last 12 days!
Can anyone say, Air Freshener?
