Here's my Ford list. Note the 5th one down with an asterisk. Yep, a '69 Boss 302. Like a big idiot when I came back from overseas and got married, I sold it to a friend. Less than a year later it was found in some north GA woods, stripped and burned, the engine gone. If I live to be a hundred there's no way I could make a more stupid mistake concerning vehicles .

First, I'm posting this in this thread because 1) to me it's funny and 2) I didn't know where else to post it. Here goes....
I was looking into a domain registrar for a client when I stumbled onto some of their first page demographics and saw "2SLGBTQ+". Now the "2S" was new to me so I Googled it and I found this. Now if you're sitting down and either want to be lulled off to sleep or can't stand clarity and want to be confused further than you are now, take a read...WARNING: It's a few minutes out of your life you can't ever get back!

2SLGBTQ+: What does it mean?
Kids Help Phone shares important terms and definitions related to 2SLGBTQ+ communities, including sexual orientation and gender identity.
kidshelpphone.ca
I keep asking people what the term LGBTQ+ means, and nobody gives me a straight answer.

The 69 Torino CobraJet was a great car as well. I'm currently helping a buddy restore a 67 Galaxy 500. He retrofitted a 428 Cobra Jet engine and converted it to throttle body fuel injection.

LOVE them Fords! Worst job I did at the dealership, was installing a set of headers on a
428 Mach1 YUCK!
428 Mach1 YUCK!
So is the savings worth having to put up with your whiny phone addicted kids?
We have all seen how phone addicted kids are in restaurants…Quiet
Give them some crayons...LOL

They're....uh.....uh....SPEECHLESS! Love it!
But likely followed until they leave by lots of eye-rolling, loud exhaling and a "THHSSK" sound by pressing the tip of the tongue at the back of the front top teeth and lightly sucking....every 5 minutes.
The wife and I have been to many, many lunch/dinners with our daughters and their kids and even though we are opposed to all the screen time our grandkids are doing, it sure makes for a quiet outing where we can actually talk to Our kids and not babysit theirs LOLI can hear it now....what's this?
Don't get me wrong we love our grandkids, when they are asleep, hahaha, just kidding..,
Yep...literally wore out my "Disraeli Gears" 8 track tape...That Boss Mustang was an awesome ride! Strange Brew, You must have been an Eric Clapton and Cream fan! lol.
It came with a 3.00:1 rear end, I had ordered a 3.50 so it went back to the dealership....they put in a 3.91!
Can you imagine a 428 CJ engine with a C-6 trans on a 3:91? It would get sideways when it'd shift by itself to 2nd gear and then bark the tires when it hit 3rd. Forget about putting your foot in it from a standing start...all it would do was boil the tires.
It had so much torque that, unlike the Boss 302, you couldn't tell the difference off the line and up to 100 if you were by yourself or had 5 other beer-drinkin' buddies in the car. The top end was about 110.
Not sure of the top end of the Boss...The speedo stopped at 120 and I had it pegged in 3rd gear at 6,000 RPM on I-285 below Marietta, GA. I think it's safe to say it would go 140. I disconnected the 6,150 RPM limiter and replaced the stock vacuum advance distributor with an Accel centrifugal, dual point distributor and solid core plug wires, had a guy that raced Z-28's on dirt track set it up on a Sun machine, as a Z-28's valve lift & timing/cam grind VERY close to that of a Boss 302.

I can't help it..I'm a binge YT addict. I won't watch a YT video for days or weeks and then someone sends me one, I watch it then another video in the right column catches my eye and I'm hooked, off and watchin' maybe 5 or 6 more.
Since there were a few mentions of cars in this thread here's a video I found that amazes me what people will do regarding their cars, their maintenance (or lack of) or how stupid they can be. I'll bet those of you that actually worked on cars for a living in a dealership or auto repair shop have seen similar things. Enjoy!
