Thinking about getting out of the mustang hobby....
For some reason, I'm thinking of selling my mustang. Someone change my mind. I keep thinking that it's a bottomless money pit. I have modded it since day one & have no stopping point insight. I am thinking of a 4x4 5.0 explorer. I'd do wheels & tires, small lift, & a decent stereo system. Then leave it alone.
I've made a list of pro's & con's of each.
Mustang
+ it is my speed fix
- bottomless money pit
- small cargo capacity
- no towing capability
+ goes fast
- gas mileage will only get worse with mods
Explorer
+ room for a decent stereo & cargo
+ towing capability
+ has a point where I won't mod it anymore
- soccer mom mobile
+ can go play in the mud
+ gas mileage won't change much with mods
- won't touch my speed fix
I know I'm kinda comparing apples to oranges, but, I'm also wanting to do other things - like build up a rainy day fund, buy a new drum kit, pay off some debt. I don't see myself being able to do those things on my income & modding the mustang. I love my mustang & have always wanted one, but, I'm just not sure if it's the best time (financially) for me to own & build one.
I can't buy have both unfortunatly.
help me out ya'll...I need some advice.
thanks,
Blackout
