[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16649616, member: 166576"] I got choked up a little saying goodbye when it was just me and the car before I handed over the keys. Today, I can say that it was absolutely the correct decision. I found an offer sheet I got from Carvana that I requested last year. It was for 8K less than what I got yesterday from Carmax. By all rights, my car should have been worth 10k lower than what I got for it. But hey, I guess Corona and this chip shortage worked in my favor. Absolutely, even if I own nothing but Chevys and Dodges Id still be here. We actually got my wife a 2007 Mustang GT convertible a few months ago that she loves. So it wasnt as abrupt a change as I thought it might be lol. The car was a fun car, but too many small quirks that I didnt like. That and I learned A LOT about going fast in cars. If I had bought a 2014 Mustang GT with the automatic, it might still be in the garage witha monster Vortech centri on it lol. It would be an honor to get a ride in that monster of yours! You're in excellent hands with JDM! I may have some parts listing soon that I completely forgot that I had purchased. Ill send you a PM when I fish em all out. I told my wife that someday I wouldnt mind a 13-14 Mustang GT Auto. If I ever inherit my father's 2014 GT (that I originally ourchased new) Id auto swap it and be a happy camper lol. I hope so! Ive got something potentially huge in the works, and I wont be blowing all the cash I got for my GT500. If it happens, Ill never ever bitch about another deal or car again! You forgot to add Phaggot in that statement. Jesus Christ, are standards SLIPPING here! Thats it, cant leave yet. God's work to be done and such. :D If I can make it happen, my next fun car will be a Big Block 454 on nitrous. Or I might play with an Ebay turbo kit because #boost. lol either way, Im totally content with SIMPLE but brute American muscle. I really thought about looking for a classic Mustang and stuffing in a 460, but there is only 1 classic muscle car thats captured my heart since I was in Jr High. Next one will hopefully be with me till Im old and gray. Its a well known tuner in the Mustang world. Id prefer not to name them openly as I have no real beef with them.
