All Stock for now, my mom was the original owner. She decided to buy a Kia Sportage so I got the car for $1k. It has a little over 100k on it, but all the service has been done at the dealer she bought it from, Including all the oil changes (that will stop... I do my own)

So far it is a fun car, but it really needs to be lowered.

No mods yet.

I just got this car in April and its my first car ever. I am in love with it. It has about 80,000 miles on it but that milage doesn't worry me because these engines are bullet proof. My dad knows two people who have them and both have over 180,000 miles on them and they still run great. Oh i forgot to say that its red which is fitting since its my favorite color. I plan to do some stuff to it when i save up some money. I will upload some pics of it soon. I will upload pics of my dads Mustang GT soon too because we plan on adding some mods to it and you will see before and after pics.
