Mustang Loyalty

[Phillyfanfrombirth]

I've never bought a new car... I just never saw the value in it.

As far as the Harleys... wait a couple years, the factories are cranking out 400k+ bikes a year, and boomers (Harley's biggest constituency) are trading in bikes for hips. The pricing at the dealerships are now around the MSRP, as they can no longer get premium pricing... So my take is that in 5 years or so, used Harleys will depreciate substantially, and provide additional pricing pressures on new bikes. In the past, Harleys were in short supply, and used bikes were even capturing a premium to new bikes MSRPs... That is not the case anymore.

I am trying to compile all of the cars I thought were cool over the years.

In the last year and a half I bought.

95' AWD turbo talon
90' 300xz

Next on my list is a Grand national or an SVO mustang.

I also have my 1990 coupe and a 1997 Z71 Tahoe.

Hell I would buy something else but I am running out of parking space.

I LOVE my 06 GT. This is the first full mustang I've owned. I've always loved the 289's and have had a couple of the engines laying around (okay, 4) over the years with the intention of stabbing them into various projects (my Jeep, a cobra replicar...etc...) but never did anything much with them. By the time I built the motor, I could never afford the project, and so always sold the motors.

Anyway, as much as I love my GT, my other main ride is hard to top - 1999 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T CC. There's a lot of interior comfy reasons I like a lot of Dodges. My point, I'm almost wishing I'd held onto my downpayment money for my GT a few more years, because the Dodge Challenger concept looks like a killer. If they put it into production with the 425HP 6.1 Hemi that they're dropping in the SRT's, then I will have been premature in realizing my dream of driving a hot ride right off the show room floor.

The technology invested in the Mustang is what sold me on it...
but that Challenger looks like it's carrying a lot of balls...
