Not sure if everyone knows this or not - but every year there is a car raffle in Zelienople. $5 a ticket for a chance to win the car. This time they have a brand new Saleen Mustang. So if you’re up that way during the day, see the old guy at the table for a ticket. Or better yet - don’t. That way I have better odds of winning it! ---

I’d sign up, then hopefully I win it and I’ll sell it for a New Edge Saleen. ---

how long does the raffle run I might hop in on it. Of course I’ll sell it though not a big mustang fan maybe I’ll drive it a little then sell. ---

It’s def not a waste of money. Since money to spend on a faster car is better than the mustang itself. ---

> [@slowcamaro"](#): > > why get in a pissing battle with someone like this…MORON of the year > > i know my camaro is afraid of stock civics I never said anything about my car being fast. never knocked any camaro. Never really started a pissing battle. I don’t like mustangs they aren’t that good to look at unless they are 30 years old and are rebuilt to look good. And yeah the power to weight ratio the mustang needs that extra power to push that extra weight. I wouldn’t use the civic on a 1/4 drag to begin with I’d auto x it. The civic is better with turning and handling. your comparing something that is $20,000 to something that is almost $45,000. come on now and the fuel consumption makes the mustang even more expensive per year, along with maintenance. I never said I was a genius when it comes to cars either. So I’ll take the MORON of the year title I don’t care. ---
