Most of us bust are a$$ for what we have, so forgive us if we seem a little disgusted with an 18 year old kid coming in here talking the talk. I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who doesnt have a problem with spoiled rich kids. You might take some of that money and buy a lesson in humillity. I hope your dad makes you earn that money somehow.
Maybe he just feels bad for all the "cruel things" he has done to you.
I can understand why some people would think that this is stupid.
Sure, I admit, I did over pay, I was in a hurry, and I had never thought of making a Mach 1 a convertible by buying a used Mach and doing the "top swap". I might just sell the GT, or try to take it back, and spend the cash on a hardtop Mach 1, and work from that.
The reason I have a $50,000 limit, is that if anything happens to the car, it would not bea huge loss, because when this project was done, the car would have had maybe $45,000 invested in it or less. And I spent $35,000 of the $50,000 on the GT... big mistake. So i have a little left, but wont spend it all if I dont have to.
And dad doesnt really trust me anymore with a expensive car. The GTX he trusts me with because I dont drive it farther then 20 miles.
See, I go to mexico alot, because my friends like to go party, and my dad once
had a rare 1970 Plymouth Cuda Convertible that had a 440+6 in it (not original motor), and I took it down to mexico with my friends, and we parked it at a Hotel we like to stay at, and after we got our rooms, we walked out, and the Cuda was gone... it was stolen and never seen again. And everyone knows, exactly how much a 70 Cuda Convertible is worth, looking at over $80,000 for good shape, and this was a good 94 point car.
This weekend I am going to take some photos of the Mustang, and GTX for you guys, to prove that I am not "bull ****ting" as you would. I will be in each photo holding a sign that says "STANGNET.COM" so dont worry, you will get all the photos you need.
