I'm torn my fellow Mustangers and Ford Fantics.

I love my Old Stangs Jolene and Diane, there like people to me (I have a BIG problem with giving Human Traits to cars. ie becoming setimentally attached) But I Want a AC Cobra SO BAD I CAN TASTE IT.

It doesnt help any that I'm on the Factory 5 mailing list and keep getting brochures and postcards of there Kit Cobras.

I was thinking of selling my two impractical cars to build ONE REALLY IMPRACTICAL car. A Factory Five Cobra Replica with a Big Block. I've seen there Cars at car shows and there buy far the best/most accurate and authentic looking. I've researched the Factory Five Replicas extensively and they seem like good quality Replicas (Not kit cars).

But I'd miss my Old stangs, and I know I'd be one of those Old guys years from now, that tells some kid "You know I used to have one of those, And I could really kick my self in the A$$ for selling it!"

I know I have alot more concerns in life than cars and what cars to drive and i dont mean to sound shallow with my trival matters.

Any advice, pointers or suggestions would be welcomed. I would sell my 2000 GT and build one, but who needs three impractical cars and no reliable daily driver!
