no. my car is a machine, nothing more. I try not to become too attached to my car because it's probably going to be ripped away from me by some inattentive 16 year old girl one day.
>>
no
but with the way I cuss it some might think I do
>>
No but when the nova is in the garage, I give it a couple pats on the bumper or hood on my way out

Had this on my last car, loved it. Same shift pattern now, but not as good of a knob.

The S550 is on the right track to becoming the undisputed god machine. Once Ferd gets their head out of their asses and makes an AWD model Mustang, nothing will stand in it's way.

Hey Br/o/s, my faggot V6 Mustang is shitting coolant. Basically seems fucked in every direction. Takes a long time to warm up, overheats, loses coolant, and the heater doesn't work. Found a leak at the temperature sensor, could that be behind everything or is there probably something else screwed up too?

Oh yeah, thick grey sludge all over the thermostat housing there too. Oil looks fine so I don't think contamination is going both ways, or maybe it's something else entirely?
>>
One more thing: coolant steam comes through the frickin cabin vents when it overheats.

Shit, that actually looks like a lot of fun.

Most fun for them. I enjoy driving my car around like a mad cunt on the toge before hitting downtown LA for some fine dining, clubbing, or local breweries.
To be honest I'd like a little more redneck shenanigans in my life. Hipster shit gets old after a while.

Screwdrivers (flathead, philips, torx)
Electrical drill (doesn't have to be big, will make wheel changes, numerous small screws/bolts and such so much less time consuming)
Spark plug wrench
Torque wrenches are nice to have
Air compressor
Magnetic bowls are a godsend when you've got a lot of small screws, nuts and bolts
Multimeter
Wire stripper/crimper

a good mechanic who knows about your vehicle and money .
short of oil changes and other simple stuff the Diy approach is very risky and generally not worth the cost IMHO
