There is a whorange 2018 Mustang 5.0 here but the owner had already left for the day. Also, a couple guys in the plant have 'Maro's, but otherwise, you're :notwrong:

That's my bossbro's. It's a replacement for a Braho that he bought new last year but had several :notsure: internal engine noises that his :dillerman: could not fix despite a top end rebuild (valves, lifters, maybe even a camshaft) so he traded it in on this one. New one's got the 6.2. :megusta:

I'm really wanting one of these two:

Oh those are neat. :megusta:
Yup. She likes the 93', but not enough to replace either of our current vehicles with. If we didn't use the truck as often as we do, then we could ditch it for either of them.

JDM imports.
Correct. They specialize in importing vehicles into the country. They also work on imports as well. A lot of what they bring in is nice, in great shape, and their prices are fairly reasonable. They've modified some vehicles that people have bought and brought make for work.

If you're willing to :dealwithit: you can get a lot of cars for a better deal than USDM (Supra, FD, Land Cruiser, etc).
