i'm mustangless, and miserable.

[taintedme]

so, the cobra shot a rod through the oil pan back in April, and i was able to sell her for what i owed. after the last few months of cruising around in a cougar (that i paid $500 for!), i decided that i would attempt to "grow up"(i hit the big 30), and purchase a reasonable car which i did. i found a mint '95 lexus sc400:

it's beautiful, quiet, and everything i thought a lexus would be, but here it is a few weeks later, and i'm finding myself shopping for another cobra. damn this addiction. anyone here ever outgrow the need for a mustang, or muscle car in general?

I thought I did, so I got my Explorer. Now I want another stang.

 

[FISHTAIL]

lol, no dude. You are screwed. Ever see those 65 year old guys driving hot-rods and vettes? That'll be you one day..just stop fighting it and give in. You'll be happier.

 

[M.O.E]

Nice car. Ive allways like thouse, 4.3 v8?

I've officially been "mustang-less" for a year now after selling by pristine, low-mileage 01 Cobra. From January 1991 until December 2005, I owned a Mustang V8 of some type and that includes 3 GTs and 2 Cobras. I miss my Cobra very much and I hope that whoever has her, will take good care with her.
Now, I desire a new one, but I'm long past it now. I don't see anything wrong with older people driving sporty vehicles and I'm only 34. However, I had responsibilities that far outweighed keeping the Cobra. I do hope to get another some day, but as hard as it is for me to say, I'm done with Mustangs for awhile.

4 liter V8, 250HP. it's slower than my poop after eating a pound of cheese.

Went trhough that phase in my late 20"s.
Got married & thought the thing to do was to get rid of my Z28 at the time & bought a sports sedan.
It was cool for a short time, soon got old with no sound & muslce.
Now, I own four vehicles & you can bet one in the stall is a Stang.
Good luck on finding another Stang\ Cobra.;-)

I got that feeling too, so I went out and bought a Corvette

Problem solved.

I never owned a Mustang (or any other hot rod for that matter) till now, never could afford a second car payment. I worked 20 years to get to the point I could afford second car and there's no way I getting ride of it. Especially since I just paid it off this week!!!!

I have owned Mustangs since 1986 when I bought my new Comp Prep SVO. I have since not been Mustangless until I sold my 2003 Cobra back in Nov. of 2003. I went 2 months without one and could not take it so I went out and got my current 04 Mystic Cobra. I am 50 now and will die with a Mustang in my hands. I dont care how old I am there will always be one or two in my garage. Muscle cars have always been in my blood. My first car at 17 was a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge. I have not changed much since then except moving on to Mustangs.

goodluck on your hunt for a new mustang. This one I have now is my first mustang I have ever owned, hell its the first car I have ever owned. If I dont dump a lot of money into this one, im upgrading to an 03/04 cobra within the next few years, that or a new Challenger and keep this car for my "play" car

 

[rmgtc01]

I owned four mustangs in a row.
Started with a V6 in highschool, then to a 98 GT vert, then an 01 GT vert, then an 03 Cobra vert. I just got rid of it this spring and I am miserable. I too went the sport sedan route with an 03 G35. It is nice, quiet, and has a little kick to it. It looks cool and for some reason women seem to like it more than the Cobra. Probably b/c it makes me seem more grown up, stable, and ready to settle down. F-all of that crap!
I figure I will have to deal with this anxiety until I buy a house next spring and finish school. After that it is on! I may even look into the 07 Cobra's at that point.
So, don't feel bad. I am sure everyone here feels the same way you do. That is why we drive what we drive. My ex said I was psycho-obsessive about it, but I think it is just passion and respect.

I'm 59 and have been addicted for over 43 years. I tried to kick the habit more than a few times. I just gave up. I too will die in that Cobra or something similar that is loud and fast. This is my third Cobra. I also had two 03's, an assortment of Z28's, Cuda's, Road Runner's and Super Bee's. And a few POS along the way. Expensive fun but you only get to do this once.............

[Skitzerman]

For 03silverSVT: Thanks man

 

[PonyFever]

Almost 50 here and this is my 4th Mustang since 1979 along with an assortment of "other" cars. I get a fair amount of teasing, but it's all good. I don't see anything but Mustangs in my future.

 

[CentennialVert]

I'm right there with you guys. I went on a fast track to a Cobra. Got an 03 GT last year, but it was auto, so I got an 04 GT that was a 5 speed...realized it was slow, got an 04 mach 1 and loved it, then I got a deal on an 03 Cobra with 500rwhp and friggin loved it. But I had to get a 4x4 so I went to a new Tacoma...got rid of that because it wasn't even a V8. Now I have a F150 Fx4...at least it gives me the rumble.
