Have to sell my baby
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. ------------------ 90 LX,full exhaust,Stage 2 Trick Flow heads,4.10s,southside uppers & lowers,Scorpion 1.7 rollers,GT 40 upper & lower,Under drives,30lb inj,B-303,Pro 5.0 shifter,70mm TB,75mm mass air,msd 6al,BBK cold air,adj fuel reg.,190lph,100lph inline, Hoosier D.O.T. slicks.150 shot NOS |

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! ------------------ Robert 91GT; 88 ASC McLaren #709 |

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? ------------------ Robert 91GT; 88 ASC McLaren #709 |

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!
