    Can't get over my V8 envy.

    I hear ya; I feel that way a lot, or think that way all the time. I should have gotten a GT already, but I'm trying to be as smart as I can. In my case, I used to live paycheck to paycheck, and with my ex even had to file banktrupcy. Now for the first time in my life, I'm making almost decent...

    Can't get over my V8 envy.

    Thanks Thanks for the input so far, everybody. I think you are all right; I should wait and get a GT, since it seems to be what I really want. You've made some really good points, too. The resale value, the fun factor, and no regrets.. But no knocking it; if I were getting a V6, it would be a...

    Can't get over my V8 envy.

    Thanks for the replies, they mean a lot. Ernad, this is funny. Was listening to Yahoo Music and after reading your post, the song came on, "Listen to your Heart" by Roxette. Now how's THAT for strange! But what you say is right...I probably should just wait for the V8. It's tough. Bigcat...

    The inconclusive conclusion

    congrats! Congratulations you lucky turkey! lol I've been waiting at least that long and have yet to buy. May opt for a V6, but having a GT would sure be nice. Have fun!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

    Can't get over my V8 envy.

    Sorry for the silly title, but not sure how else to put it. I haven't bought yet, and frequently torment the salesmen at the dealerships, particularly the one closest to my house. Well, I don't intentionally torment them, but I do visit them often. Anyway, a good example of what I'm talking...

    Dear Ford - - -

    I think it's just natural for people to take their favorite car, especially if it's their daily driver, and wish for a few small (or large) changes in it. After all, it's their car and their wish. I don't begrudge them that. :rolleyes: I'm surprised someone would start a thread just mentioning...

    2005 Mustang to appear in

    The Fast and the Furious III! I wonder what kind of beast will rear it's awesome head in this one? Surely it won't be stock. Sorry if this has been mentioned before; I checked and didn't see it. The movie is supposed to come out next year. Found this info on the ad on Mercury Milan in the...

    New Pics

    REally sharp!! :nice: I thought that was a kit. From your sig looks like you just added different things? Looks like a nice package overall.

    Get the tissue boxes!

    None of them runable or fixable? I wouldn't mind taking on a pony like one of those, if it didn't take too much work to fix it up, and the price was reasonable. :shrug:

    What is more ghetto?

    I guess I didn't totally understand your position, so I picked that both would look gay. However, if you're going to make them both real working pipes (that CAN be done, can't it?) I think that's just fine. A guy at work did the same thing to his, and even though I know it's a V6 it still looks...

    Finally!

    It looks gooooood! :nice: Is there any way you can add side skirts or something like that and a rear fascia? The front end seems a tad bit lower than the rest of the car, or is it just me? Other than that it looks great!

    About other car forums

    I usually lurk on a few other boards, mainly for Camaro news. The other boards are a lot like this one. Got some good people and some insensitive ones, too. Btw, speaking of the gay and the curious or w/e you call 'em; got a guy works at the same place I do in one of those car clubs. He's...

    Tag I'm It

    :( Sorry to hear about that... No, I don't know any good body shops in the Dallas area, but good luck in getting it fixed. Just don't go the cheap route like I did with my truck. Whey they say you get what you paid for, they really mean it! :mad:

    Must have been a mirage....

    :( Regretably I barely even caught a glimpse of it. But after posting I remembered seeing a similar Mustang at a certain building on base. I'll try to swing by and see if it is the one. Seems like it was one of the aftermarket kit rides. Dang sorry freakin *&&^^%#!..sorry, I'm just kinda...

    Must have been a mirage....

    At work last week I saw this image that I just can't get out of my head. Pulling up to a stop sign, I saw a newer Mustang pulling away from me. It was really fixed up... I could have swore I saw a cobra emblem on it, but I must have been seeing things. What it did have that caught my eye was...
