About “Broken Horse”
My first car was a Mustang. Bought it when I was 15. She was a repairable, and I had a year before I could drive anyways. I have done most of the work on this baby. She was tataled up to the motor, but the motor was fine. Replaced everything, and did a ****ty job also. I have went over all of the work I did previously, and it was just cheap rigging. I have grown wiser in automotive and mechanics. Fixing the work was not hard. I have beat the piss out of this car sence day one. I have replaced the motor twice and the trans once, but its going out again. I have just recently began to build a new motor for it, even though the motor it has now has 15,000mi on it. My friend Brandon totaled his 1989 Ford Thunderbird SC. I bought the whole car from him for $400. I removed the motor and trans, then sold the rest for $350. Good deal huh. I brought the motor home and started tearing down. When I am finished I will install the motor, get her tuned then let her fly. But until then I am still a punk with a loud V6 auto Mustang.
