Sold the cobra last year, this was about 3 months after I got it, was a blast, but the wife was prego, so had to free up some cash (panicked basically)

The 92 was my favorite of all the mustangs I have owned (had a 93 vert, but was my high school hot rod). Super clean no miles on it, think it was 54k, and was bought bone stock except flowmaster mufflers.

The 2002 GT still have, but technically sold to my dad now, again, freeing up cash. Doesn't look anything like the picture that is up, but still a sleeper!

2 cars I regret selling....

1991 Eagle Talon TSi AWD - for the day it was cutting edge and damn fast.
1997 VW Jetta GLX - modified out w/ Neuspeed everthing - a real sleeper.

Now have an '03 Redfire Cobra Cpe that I never intend to sell unless my kids sell it after I am gone!

Next car I will NOT Regret - Shelby GT500

I've owned and sold a lot of cars in my day, but the ONE that I absolutely miss the most is my 2003 Cobra. We had some great times together, and she always performed for me. Never had even one issue. I pretty much drove it daily from April through November unless it was raining. I always looked forward to the weekends because that meant extended time behind the wheel. What an absolute blast to drive! Attended a lot of cruises and shows, too. I miss those times. Wonder where she is today? :(

I got rid of my last car a 2006 Evo9 to get my Z06. My Z06 is up for sale after 2 years, and Im getting another Evo.

The Z06 was not the best choice for a daily driver lol nice car, but he Evo is 10x more fun to drive on a daily basis and much more practical ..... I have missed mine since the day I got rid of it:(

My 1990 LX 5.0....bought it almost bone-stock with 38k miles from the original owner when I turned 21. Sold it with 52k miles about 4 years later after grad school. Went from running low 14s to low 12s in a short period of time, but never got to race it to its full-potential before selling it. I ended up selling it for a down payment on my first Terminator, so it wasnt all that bad....lol

I know where the car is locally, and the guy never drives it because of his work schedule. He has put a grand total of 2k miles on it since 2006, and it looks exactly as when I sold it to him....trying to buy it back someday, but he says he is in no hurry to sell....

miss my 03 cobra. sold it so I could use the car payment to pay off other bills so I could get a house. even though I got a nice notch it isnt in the 03 cobra league just yet. but out of the box the 03 was bad ass. miss it every day.

I really miss my 1987 notch mass air converstion with 93 cobra powerplant,c4 rev valvebody and 100shot of nitrous. I sold it when I went to college for 2,000. 13.70's all motor and that was fast back in 1999.
I sold it to buy a weak 96gt. :fm:

i believe that you made a wise choice of owning a house over a ride :thumbsup:
