[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16136447, member: 46336"] I came to a similar conclusion a few times. Inevitably I end up back where I started. This is absolutely the age of the "Do Everything" car. It can be your daily, your track rat, your kids hauler, and your road trip ride. All brands (generally) have cars that can do that in some form or fashion. Usually one of the functions is stronger than the other (comfort over speed, speed over driveability, etc). If you stare too long and hard at your foxbody, SN95 chassis car, or really anything 1980-2005, you realize pretty quickly how obsolete they are. Case in point, I bought my 18' F150 5.0 and within two weeks listed the 93 coupe. The truck is faster than the coupe was, smoother, rode better, more comfortable, and useful since it's a truck. I realized the "Do everything" foxbody is a folk lore, and that a new truck was my new "Everything" car. The only thing it couldn't do was provide the nostalgia and cure my itch to wrench. So I bought a 65' coupe, and that has undoubtedly filled a void I wasn't aware of. If you started out trying to make your fox/car competitive/do everything, you started out wrong. You'll end up right where you are, saying goodbye to a brand/model/life. [/QUOTE]
