[DeTomaso] stock pantera's

[Ed Mendez]

Stock Panteras are somewhat boring. Why would all of these Pantera vendors be selling upgrade parts to make the car better? Brakes, suspension, 180's :-), etc. It's a car that can express the ultimate in individualism and extension of ourselves. Who cares what the value is. Did we buy the car to make money, or to own and drive and spend a shit load of money to maintain and make better?

Drive it, spend money, drive it, spend more...

My next goal is 8 stack EFI.

:-) just my thought for the day. Lol
