Lets logic this out a second. You have a mustang that doesnt work. You have a truck that doesnt work. You have a bunch of debt. You want to buy a $9,000 rather impractical car. I will let logic have its say rather than state any opinion I may have.

1. The only reason the truck doesn't run is cause my builder has been dicking me around for 8 months. I have all the parts I need to finish is minus like 3 things that I need the short block back before I order.

I had hoped to have the stang running but because of being dicked around that didn't happen

2. I don't have a "bunch of debt". I have 2 loans that I am paying off. I put extra money toward them to pay them off faster. I'm financially capable of doing that.

I am pretty much able to see something I want and go get it. No I can't drop 7-9000 on a car spur of the moment but anything else I'll just buy. I just bought a new laptop a few weeks back. Walked into best buy and walked out with a brand new 1000 dollar laptop and didn't think anything about it.

3. Impractical? what makes it any more impractical then any other Mustang? You own a Mustang don't ya? Is it impractical? Probably not cause its yours.

I didn't ask for your thoughts on my financial well being. I asked for peoples opinions on the asking price of a car. Thank you though for worrying how much money I have

Never did I mention it being more impractical than other Mustangs. I meant in general Mustang are not the most practical vehicles. Is mine impractical? Compared to my truck it sure isn't.

I am sorry for trying to help you not make a stupid decision. All I am saying is that with two vehicles that don't work (I dont care why they dont, they dont) buying yet another car does not make much sense to me. ESPECIALLLY a 9K Mystic. Shoot put a fraction of that into the Mustang you already own and it would be killer. Why don't you consider a route like that instead of buying a whole new car?

It seems you have takin offense to this, but that wasn't the intent. God bless.

Your post was a good one in that you are trying to help someone. It's rare that you find some1 sticking their neck out at the potential for being flamed to raise a flag and say !WAIT! Don't take offense Mystery, I dont think it was meant that way. Maybe take it to PM ...or don't lol

Thanks but I don't see that happening. The chief is a dickhead. He's totally not professional and makes up his own rules.

I have been screwed over so many times in life I have become an ******* lol. I used to just sit back and take it. Now days you wanna be an ******* to me I dish it right back. The more he threatens and bitches at me the more of a smartass ******* I am
