The fact that NCs use the same bolt pattern as Mustang and can fit a 17x9" wheel.

It means I can get a Miata and still use my wheel/tire collection, and that's a very scary thing for my finances.

Hot hatch rally cars. I would like an Ep3 and make it "hotter".

I'm also thinking about snow tires.

F-85 Cutlasses. A 1961 to be exact

Swap out the 215 with a Vortec 5300 LM4 and put in a center console tach/clock from a '64 442.

Ever since I read that R&T articles about cycle carts back in the day, every year or so I go drool over that website. The motorcycle one was always about the coolest damn thing I've ever seen. One day I'll build me one and a mile long trail on my farm to slide all over the place.

2011 Ford Mustang GT 2011 Volkswagen GTI 1st Gen. Mazda RX-7 Porsche 911SC MINI Cooper S Nissan 350Z

I'm getting ready to buy my first car all on my own instead of hand-me-downs (not complaining!). Just can't take much more of the Grand Marquis.

In absolute, 100% agreement. You'll want to NOT look at this link...unless you're prepared to drive to GA this weekend:
