Have to sell my baby

spike · 09-26-2001, 06:36 PM

I just bought my mustang 4 months ago bone stock and have dumped a little over $8000.00
In it so far on mods.. And today I find out I have to sell it already. But the good news is I will have a new baby to take of. My wife is pregnant. Looks like racing is over for a little while. But thanks to all who answered my questions. I guess I will be driving a mini van from now on. I hope changing diapers is as much fun as changing spark plugs.

Thanks 90'5.0. Yeah I'll be back. This is the 5th 5.0 I've owned and the 3rd since I joined mustang works in 99. See ya in a couple of years

Stangs have a back seat don't they?

I actually have to argue with my boys because they always want to go riding in the GT. I didn't sell it or my McLaren when I had my first born. I used it as a daily driver..in fact I still do! Of course I don't have NOS in the trunk, so...Good luck!

BTW, changing diapers isn't much fun, but you'll have the time of your life other ways. Congrats!

Thanks RobertD. The last I checked I still had a back seat. But it's the wife's decision. I know... I need to get some balls.

"... I need to get some balls."

Better to have happy balls than to have big lonely balls.

Congrats on the rugrat.

I agree with you Mach 1. Just pretend that selling isn't an option. In fact, make sure it's not an option! I have 2 kids now and the Stangs aren't going any time soon...even if I had another.

Keep the car! You know how hard it is to find an a Fox body in good shape?

Mach1 and ROBERTD you guy's make a good point.It took me 4 months to find this one in pure stock mint condition with less than 75,000 mi. I took it back to USA MOTOTSPORTS today to get new front shocks and get it DYNO TUNED so I could show buyers how much or little horsepower the car will produce.Hell if it makes somewhere around 450 hp I'll tell my wife to kiss my @ss!
