No mechanic told me anything. I did it just to do it since I have had belts break on me before. And it's only a small amount. And lolz at your whining comment, I said I was bummed out. LERN TO REED D00D
I'm sorry...did you just call me a tool? The guy who replaces working parts on a "what-if" calling me...a tool? I'm sure with your vast knowledge of the Pony car and ever so wondrous Escort, you would have thought that changing your timing belt at 40k was probably a little preemptive.

My only "tool" move was buying a Mustang in the first place.

Look man, you dont like the fact that I had a engine blow while doing a braking downshift. Oh well!
The fact that my blown 5.0 tale from years ago, shatters your little crystalline pony love bubble, and gets you all sorts of "sandy". Get over it!

or....

Sell your GS, and buy three Mustangs, Thats about the value ratio. Fire up that bad *** V8, grab that dogleg shifter and rev the **** out of it. Letting everyone around know that 5.0 means business ****!!! Then drop the hammer and feel the seven and a half second 0-60 rush. Were talking 225hp of madness pushing the aerodynamic equivalent of a Winnebago down the line. Don't forget your GTO headlight blackouts and knock-off Saleen wing. That makes it unique.

Man, this is the first time I've talked about that retarded car of mine in ten years, and It turns into a retarded argument with a noob.
