and on Friday it's gone. the new owner has picked up the car and has had it for the past few days. it is going to a good friend, he actually drove it back from mustang week when it pissed me off and i left it at the mall. i wish i could say i got some good money out of it, but i really gave it away:( at least the new owner will drive it more than the 3,000 miles a year i averaged.

BTW i am signing the papers on my new ride tomorrow afternoon and driving to Atlanta to pick it up next week:D

Man I really wish I could have taken you up on that ride. The whole week flew by too damn fast.

At least it'll still be around and you know it won't get treated poorly.

Any word on what the new ride is...? 5.0?!?
 
wow, so hard to give up a ride and all the money when you get to a certain level. well, hope the new ride is awsome. its going to have to be to replace that!
 
it has been pulled offline already. i'll post up some pics when i get it either monday or wednesday. all the paperwork was done today, just waiting on the check for the car to come in.

the new one is a little more family oriented, but still fun. I have already talked to a performance shop and i'm only $1700 away from having over 500 to the wheels and still be reliable and get great mileage:D i'm not going crazy on this one! it seems the more i do to a vehicle the less i enjoy driving it. gonna keep it simple and safe this time.

first on the agenda is tint as soon as it comes home, then the performance will be done as soon as my Xterra sells and i can use the play money i have left from the extra mustang parts
 
Ok, $46000, that rules out the SHO, and I don't think a truck would still be worth that, not to mention a truck wouldn't get "great" gas mileage.

I don't know much about other car brands, but I'd guess some sort of family sized, or maybe even small SUV type, BMW, Mercedes, Caddy, or Mercedes.
 
If he sold his car with over 700hp he wouldnt want anything to far off. I'm guessing a GT500 or a z06.

Thats what I would buy, but then again If i made a big purchase I'd buy a Ferrari 355 spider. I'd rather stick with 20k cars untill then. No middle for me. I love that car and I will own one eventually. I just hope im not one of those old guys driving one haha, but instead mid 30's

This is what I'd buy! Honestly if he could afford 100k. I could see him buying it too!

I'm going to guess a 4 door sedan of some sort, most likely already forced induction. Or large displacement.

Going to predict one of three cars, for the price vs milage

Merc 6.3 AMG bi turbo

Audi RS4 or RS6

05-08 BMW M3 with the V8


Good luck with the new car, sad to lose a mustang owner but just glad you didn't parted out !!
