You don't need a garage to put Zanio on. I used to do my car during my morning break at 9, then take a late lunch and remove it. Then when I got home, I would wipe it down with Z-6.

As long as the weather is at least 60 degrees Zanio is a breeze to do.

Using Zaino in direct sunlight is no problem. It's the way I've done it for at least 90% of the times I've used it.

I can't believe that no one else in your neighbor cleans their car.

errr doesn't buying a v6 mustang defy the point of buying one to begin with? Especially in goofy lime green color?

The 2005 had the most powerful V6 of any Mustang to date, but it's still plenty shy of the GT's 300hp. It's decent for a V6, but compared to the 280-310+hp V6s offered in other cars, it's still a bit docile. Enough for most people though, and better on insurance than the GT. 🙂

I concur - a black GT would've been a better choice. Getting a V6 mustang really defies the point of getting one to begin with .

The point of the car was not solely so I could be leet and street race every honda ricer I see. Although it would be nice to own a GT, currently its not worth it to me. I'd have to spend a considerable amount more on the car (which I can't afford). I'd eat up more gas (which I don't want to afford) and insurance would be quite a bit higher (which I don't want to afford). In the long run, it was not worth it.


Black Mustangs look really nice too, but I like how this color brings back the oldschool look of the Mustang.
 
I was gonna say my parents had a 69 Ford Fairlane same colour. . .
Black cars look good clean, but show dirt and every nick and swirl.
I prefer lighter coloured cars.
 
One of my instructors bought an 05 used Stang not too long ago, the previous owner custom ordered the car with the hypo v6 among other things. Then the guy returned the car when he found that the GT's where being released and custom ordered one of those (man I want that kind of cash). My instructors Stang is sweet, he has a friend that owns a paintshop and owed my instructor some money, so the guy painted a pair of black racing strips, centered, from the front bumper, over the hood and roof, under the spoiler, and down to the rear bumper, father than the vinyl stripes go and it really reminds me of the 70 mach 1. 🙂
