I was in a similair boat. I went through (2) F150's, a jeep, and a bronco hoping to ditch the modification bug.

It didn't work! I lifted the bronco and jeep and one of the f150's was lowered. I gave in and bought my 2000 as a nice "stock" daily driver while I built up my 88. As you can tell by the sig I've stuck with my plan

but I don't regret it for 1 second. This is by far the most fun I've had with Mustang to date and my last car was much quicker.
