I know I mention new previously, but....
I begin to think about once again, picking up a car with a little use under her. As I mentioned in my 1st post, nevering having paid for new. This makes me entertain thoughts of going used again and using the bucks saved to do a little creative artistry under the hood. I have to spend more time reading through the topics on this board to search out answers to questions like, which Mustang? which add-ons for which years? power-to-dollar ratio? 5.0 vs 4.6?
My Bro knows a fleet dealer that may be able to get me into a GT for less than $22K, so he says....
Leg room is not a problem for me. I even have to move the seat forward in my MG Midget.
I read that the newer Mustangs now have the new child restaint systems in back, and have impact ratings higher than my current sedan. So those are pluses.
I learned to drive in my family's '67 Ford Galaxy with a 390 under the hood. Bought right after I was born. I miss that car, and that engine!
Although my wife isn't happy about it, I think that all my talk lately about Mustangs has convinced her that there isn't anything she can do this time to make me back down. She can hear it in the tone of my voice and the look on my face. The car ain't on my driveway yet, but I'm a Mustang owner gosh darn it!
The only good arguement she came up with tonight was that I could actually use a pickup truck more than another sports car. dooh! Instead of the truck, I want my Dad's '70 Econoline with the 302.
But she wants her next vehicle to be a Suburban. We'll see about that.
