[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />Looks like me and AlcoDave are the oddballs here. <br /> <br />At my teacher's salary there's NO WAY that I can afford the gas guzzling V8 anymore! (I used to own hot rods). I hear a lot of people complaining here in Florida how they spend $80 to fill up their SUVs! Yipes! <br /> <br />Since 1994 I've been driving Toyota 4 cylinders and have never looked back. <br /> <br />My 1998 4 banger Tacoma extended cab pickup does it for me if I railfan. Has no problem traversing rough terrain, still rides like a car on the road and contrary to the myths about 4 bangers, it will hit 90 mph with ease if pushed.. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />I'm a teacher too, and I hate to see other guys who teach give up their hotrods, or other hobbies just because the salary is low. So I feel sorry for you Antonio. <br /> <br />But I'm hanging onto mine. It's a 2003 Mustang GT, no longer stock. It WILL run. <br />But I'm also lucky because for the most part, we have good roads where we go to railfan. So I've never had a problem getting where I want to go. I hope I never have to give up my Mustang just because I'm a teacher. <br />As for speed...the most I've had the guts to do is 115 in third gear. Lord knows what it would do if I had the cojones to top it out in 5th. <br /> <br />mike
