    Should I Get The Mustang?

    I really disagree about the GTO. I think it's overpriced. Yes, it performs well but the styling will put you to sleep. And the Mustang will be relaible. Don't worry about that as an issue.

    I think I've decided...

    I think you've made a very good decision. But if you spend that $6k on mods, you've proven me wrong. You're not a racer and you don't need to spend a dime on the V6 to enjoy it, so just do so. For what you intend to do with it an unmodded car works just fine. Remember, for every dollar you...

    What makes the car louder....

    Nope, Springfield. Long time ago. Good luck with the emisions check.

    What makes the car louder....

    OT--when I was a kid we used to camp in the fields in Burke and gig frogs--that was a long time ago before it was developed. Sort of on topic: on another site I read that there is a bill pending in Illinois that would make aftermarket exhaust systems illegal if they increased the noise level...

    Suggestion Please...

    What is that supposed to mean? Yes, the 2004 will be cheaper but the 2005 is a much better car. Does she want a coupe or a ragtop? In the long run, it's her call and her choice but I'd go for the 2005.

    DANICA PATRICK.....Nothing will be the same again!

    Yes, I know. The fuel gamble is a risk all teams have to take. Whether she could have held off Welden is something we'll never know.

    are all 05s 50 state smog legal?

    I think this is correct. I have read posts both here and on another site from guys who bought cars out of state and brought them into California with no problem.

    DANICA PATRICK.....Nothing will be the same again!

    She would have won if not for the fuel problem at the end. Great race for her.

    Gt40

    The Pantera still looks good. It's one of my faorite cars, especially in fly yellow. A lot of them are used as daily drivers and there's a very active club with a great magazine. It has to be the most affordable semi exotic out there.

    5.0 vs 2005

    Don't spend your money modding your 5.0. You'll never get it back. Save your dough until you're out of college and then decide. This comes from a 5.0 owner. But it's your choice.

    Very Disappointed, Diguisted, etc....

    So true, and so sad. Having said that , and as an owner of a 95 GT vert that I bought used, I'll add that for the money, the Mustang is still the best fun car value for the money, quality problems notwithstanding. The most trouble free car I've ever owned was a 1986 Toyota MR2. Nothing ever...

    Gt40

    There's an interesting thread on Brad's site about prices on the GT40. If you visit there check out the exotics forum. Prices for GT40's have been falling and probably will continue to do so. I think it's a great car, but because of the numbers in the production run I think prices will come back...

    For Giggles

    It was 1967, I was 19, and I was driving a 1959 XK-150. Hey, they were cheap to buy in those days. I came to a toll brige and stopped only to hear some guy revving at me from the other booth. It was some guy around 30 in an Mercury and I could see had a 3 on the tree. He had a greasy black...

    Is every dealer getting 3K over sticker for a GT

    The dealer here has a $4k premium tacked onto Mustangs. They're not selling very many of them when you can drive a little way and get them for MSRP.

    Very Disappointed, Diguisted, etc....

    Hmmmm. Maybe if you did Ford would really improve their quality. Not a flame, but blind loyalty to any brand doesn't do the breed much good.

    Gt - Auto

    After 37 years of driving a stick, I bought my current ride--95 GT vert--with an auto because traffic in Southern California was getting pretty bad. Crawling through LA on a hot Friday afternoon was just no fun. Sometimes I miss a stick but I don't think I'll ever go back to a manual for a daily...

    Car Wash + Wax time what to use?

    I'm a big Meaguiar's fan. Wash, clay, wax. Beautiful results.

    Is color an issue?

    I had two black cars when I lived in Southern California. They never got too hot for me but they were noticably hotter than any other color I've had. They looked great when they were washed and waxed but they were a major pain to keep clean. No more black cars for me.
