Someone say Flex? LOL! Slap a tune on your wife's Flex and you'll
have 400 HP! The only thing is the Flex is almost 5000 pounds! LOL!
You'll be surprised at the looks you get when you start running low
13s in your wife's grocery getter!!!

As for the new design on the Mustang... had heard it was going to be a
pretty radical change... I need to see one in person before i
