I finally said "screw it, this car ain't going to do it for me" and started saving money. My dreams will finally come true in the very near future. I'm almost certain of buying a very very clean '85 Mustang LX
COUPE in BLACK.

4-cylinder Manual.
To make it sweeter, Even after buying the car, I'll still have enough money for a 302 and a T5 swap. To make it EVEN SWEETER, my friend has the exact same car, minus the neat-O Boss style spoiler. I know what I'll be doing over spring break, and it involves copious amounts of assembly lube...

Saving is THE WAY TO GO unless you have a six or SVT.
But in a four cylinder, audio the hell out of the car. Make what you can enjoyable.
