    Do you wave to other Stangers?

    Wow, I thought waving was Jeep thing! I wave all the time at fellow Jeepers and it gets returned. No need for the Stang guys to copy. Do something different like the rev.

    Bullitt vs Corvette

    My buddy has an '03 or '04 model Vette. It's his wife's actually. He has a built '90ish model for himself with over 10k invested in the motor and it's a wildabeast! :eek: The newer Vette is very smooth running with lots of power on tap to be completely stock (except a Borla catback). The...

    Hit and Run, what should I do?

    I'd just leave your insurance coverages the way they are. You don't want to overpay for a $250 deductible, and you sure don't want to be w/o collision. If $250 makes you feel all warm & fuzzy, start a savings account and stick some extra cash in there. Just $20/mo and in 1 year you will...

    Bullitt vs Corvette

    Not sure your budget, but have you considered a new Z06? I know this is a Ford forum but man those things rock. And yes, they are expensive but very inexpensive compared to what is in it's league.

    Cost to race at your local drag strip???

    Same price to race or watch...$13 per person. But they don't check the trunk so the cost goes down if you get creative...hehe. I haven't done that since the high school days.

    Your age and how many Mustangs you have owned

    Just turned 30, and I've owned quite a few vehicles. Only 1 Mustang, which I bought for my wife. Here is the list: 1. '76 Dodge Aspen w/ 383 police interceptor (clocked doing 160mph!) Ugly as sin, but a very fast car to be my first! :D 2. '83 Nissan Sentra 3. '84 Pontiac Sunbird...

    FedEx > UPS

    Ouch, that is really expensive. I just shipped out some stuff in a box measuring 19"x12"x10" with a weight of 5lbs via Fed-Ex Ground for around $7.40, and that *included* an extra $1.50 or so for "residential delivery" instead of commercial delivery. Also included was a fuel surcharge.

    FedEx > UPS

    I definitely like Fed-Ex better. Cheaper rates and the tracking system actually tracks. Also it seems the delivery times are a tad faster w/ Fed-Ex. On several occassions they have beaten their estimates by 1-2 days. With UPS, if they tell you 5 days....it's gonna be 5 days. And yes, I use...

    Hit and Run, what should I do?

    I'd file the police report in hopes the cops might find the guy, although be realistic...how will they ever know? Are they going to pull over every white car they see? You don't have a tag number, description, etc. It's probably a waste of time, but sometimes it does pay off. Point in case...

    Which Stang to Buy?

    Your list is along my same lines of thinking except I was thinking the Fox body GT or Cobra as my last choice. I say that only because I like the newer body styles better. And good point, I should have clarified my intentions at the start. This vehicle will be my daily driver on a 40 mile...

    Which Stang to Buy?

    If it's reasonable to get around 160k before a rebuild is required, I'd prefer to do that and get the V8 now and not have to worry with a conversion later on. Make no mistakes, I don't *want* a V6 but I was checking all the options. I guess I was sort of in that mentality of about 100k and...

    Which Stang to Buy?

    Thanks for all the replies. I am still looking for the right car to buy! We are currently selling our house and cashing out some equity to get ourselves a little more debt free. One of the things I'm doing is selling the Jeep so I can obtain a different vehicle w/ cash only. I don't like...

    Need opinions

    The Cobra hood would like nice. Also have them paint it and the trunk lid black to finish out your top black/bottom red theme. I think it'd look good. :nice:

    Which Stang to Buy?

    Sweet ride alsyr44. Love the color. I would consider buying except it's out of my price range. :( Hmmm....I hadn't thought about the Cobras, figured they were out of my price range. I will do some more checking as that is the most attractive option to me. Price is always important but so...

    Which Stang to Buy?

    I bought one for my wife awhile back, it was a '96 with a V6 5speed. Nothing special but an okay vehicle considering the lack of power. Anyhow, that Mustang has been gone awhile. She's moved onto a SUV and I have been driving an '04 Jeep Wrangler. But I've got the itch to get another...

    Anyone purchase on A-Plan?

    Forgive my stupidity but what are all these "letter" plans? I keep seeing them referenced and assume they are employee/military/student discounts. Please enlighten me.

    new to mustang and seek advice

    Personally I would go with a GT mainly because my budget will not allow for the nicer and faster SVT Cobra model. Also, I have a problem waiting up to 2 years to buy a vehicle. I want one now. If I was in a financial position to buy either, I'd buy the GT now and then see what happens with...

    First time buyer... things to watch out for?

    Always remember you are the guy with the money; therefore, the one w/ the power. Too many times dealers think THEY have the power. They simply provide a service. And there are lots of other dealers if the one you are talking to won't bend over backwards to make you happy. I live nearby the...
