I like some of the US plates. Ontario ones are boring.

When I travel to the city, I ALWAYS see Canadian plates. IIRC, I think they're Ontario plates. I just remember they're black and white.

Could also be Manitoba or Quebec, but this is less likely because of the greater distance from NY.
On topic: a buddy of mine at school just bought one of these (it's actually a 2000) for $1200.

Re: Graham's 12 year-old Horse (AKA 1998 Ford Mustang)
Hey guys, the Mustang will be getting painted soon.
I found a guy that is contracted insurance body work from a local body shop and he was looking for something to do on the side. I won't say how much he's willing to do it for, but he's very reasonable and seems very knowledgeable. He's even giving me a warranty!
WHY, OH WHY, AM I GETTING IT PAINTED??
What my pictures didn't show is that my Muistang's clearcoat is fading. Plus, it's obvious to me (and 3 other body shops that gave me an estimate, for the exception of Maaco) that my car has been almost totally repainted before and they did a poor job at that. For example, they painted around the rear spoiler, they took none of the emblems off of the fenders to prep it.
PICZ of poor paint quality:
Painted around the spoiler
Peeling around emblems
Scratches all over quarter panel
blistering paint on hood
Peeling clear coat on front bumper
(Hard to see) lots of over-spray on rear bumper
Scratches on dents all over front passenger fender
I'm not saying the scratches and dents are the results of a poor paint job, but this is just a collection of imperfections in general.

I could be on my deathbed, or dying of thirst in the desert, and still, thinking of "Hot Doritos" would make me laugh.

This is the first time I've been able to see it in the light.. Here's the new pictures of it all painted n' shit. It's been raining for the past week so there will be new pictures when it's sunny.
Watch out, the Mustang is about to f*cking wreck your cervix.
