    80 Miles Per Gallon, 400 horsepower Fox Body Mustang If you think 80 miles per gallon and 400 horsepower don't go together you better think again because Doug Pelmear, a 48-year-old electronics engineer and master mechanic from Napoleon, Ohio has done just that with his 1987 Ford Mustang.  Mr. Pelmear created his Mustang and more specifically the technologically advanced engine to compete in the $10 million Progressive Automotive X Prize: a "race" to find an affordable, marketable automobile that gets at least 100 miles per gallon.  The Progressive Automotive X Prize is sponsored by the X Prize Foundation.

    My 1992 5.0 Convertible Mustang Needs A New Top Well as you can probably tell by the photo and title of this entry my recently purchased 1992 Mustang Convertible has started to leak.  I think the big giveaway is the Halloween candy bowl acting as a drip bucket in my front passenger seat but thats the only thing I could find in a driving rainstorm on short notice the other night.  Yes I could have pulled the car into the garage but taking out the Cobra after I just washed it was not an option so she sat in the driveway leaking into the candy bowl.
