A bit of rust, but enough to be manageable by sanding or a bit of welding, 140k miles, 5 speed manual, and the interior was in great condition. It needs a lot of love, but that will all happen this summer. People sleep on these, they are what I like to call Ford's Icarus. They flew too close to the sun (mustang ), and the Thunderbird lost its wings... 190hp from a 2.3l 4 banger with a sub-par turbo (that had its boost limited!!!) compared to the 225hp of the 5.0l v8 in the mustang? You'd be out of your mind to go for the 5.0... What a score! I love 80 and 90s cars. My cut off for great vehicles is 2004. After that bean counters took over and ruined everything. 3 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eban Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 I bought a used Sony PS4 Pro CUH-7200B (apparently thats the last and best version number) for ¥16,850 (about $USD110 (That is a steal for this model in Japan)) Took me 3 months on Yahoo auction A new 1Tb ssd for it and a repast and thermal pads change. Its hard to play compared to mouse and keyboard (I was never a console player) It really is time to move away from windows and their BS 2 Thunderchild // Lenovo Legion Y740 17" i7-9750H rtx2080maxQ win10LTSC RainBird // Alienware 17 (Ranger) i7-4910mq gtx860m win8.1 Pipin // Panasonic CF-RZ6 i5-7Y54 ZorinOS 17.3 JunkDog // Desktop Asrock 660M i3-12100F Geforce 9600GT win10LTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
