Not surprising for Philly honestly.

Though as frustrating as the HFC/test pipe/header installs are for Nissan FM cars like the Z and other Infiniti models, atleast they’re likely low probability target for theft, with the converters tucked up in the engine bay

What a heartwarming story of friendship and community support. It's truly inspiring to see Craig's old classmates come together to restore not just his Mustang, but moments of joy too at a difficult time. Their gift of time, labor and donations shows how impactful human connection can be for well-being. Even faced with an incurable disease, finding purpose and happy memories in beloved pastimes seems to make the hardest days more bearable. Their act of kindness for their friend in need demonstrates the difference real-world kindness and mobility can make for quality of life. Wishing Craig many more uplifting rides surrounded by caring friends.
