Sounds so nice, been putting some serious thought into moving there in a few years. Really sick of the north east and the housing market here is crazy expensive especially compared to the houses out there which are much nicer and far cheaper.

Arizona is pretty great. it is boiling hot here tho. after 5 years you'll get used to it. the houses here are much cheaper and nicer. you can score a 2008+ built home for around $120k with 3 bed, 2 bath. another good thing is that there are no tornados, hurricanes, or anything of that nature. also, the women here are hot! AZ is pretty good, besides the racism and hate lol. the state has changed a lot since Scott was here: Phoenix metro has grown a ridiculous amount. the Towns surrounding the metro area are city sized now. lots of great schools as well.

Nice, I've always wanted to HCI a fox but more so a 95GT because I love the SN95 body. How's the 3.8 V6 treating you? I've been contemplating getting a v6 for dd duties since I sold my dd 97 GT. The 96-98 GT is a nice car, but it will be a turd compared to your HCI 90 GT. Also takes more money to make it any faster. I've always wanted to do a PI swap on a 96-98, but there's no point having since I already have a Cobra.

Just don't get a 94 95 V6. The head gaskets and the AODE always take a shit on those years. My AODE went out so I swapped to T5. My HG went out at 150k so I dropped in a 2005 split port 4.2 V6. I'm getting 25 MPG mostly freeway, with AC, no EGR.

No way would I be sticking with a stock NPI turd lol. Fully built + boost. That was one factor behind getting away from fox and 5.0.... I didn't want to worry about the block splitting and I didn't want to spend $2k on a bare unmachined 5.0 block. An built early 351w + boost was a serious consideration though. The SN95 is just such a better built car.
