Don't ever sell your Fox

The longest time that I've owned both of my Fox body Mustangs is 5 and almost 6 years now. That's the longest time that I've ever owned a car. I usually get bored with a car and trade it in within the first 2 to 3 years. But this hasn't happened yet with the 2 Mustangs which I currently own. I really love both of my Fox body Mustangs. I sometimes say that I will sell my 02 V6 Mustang because it was in a hit and run and it got hit on its front bumper. The front bumper was repaired but it was repaired half-ass and it cost me $702. The repair wasn't really fixed 100% like I wanted it to be fixed and I have to live with the repair flaws. There was very little that the bodyshop could do about the repair flaws. They tried fixing the flaws but could only do so much. The flaws are still visible and present after the bodyshop tried to correct them. There's some orange peel on the bottom part of the front bumper inside the air dam and inside the fog light holes and there's also a small gap between the top part of the passenger headlight assembly and the front pointed part of the front fender. These 2 flaws sometimes drive me crazy when I think about them and it makes me want to sell my V6 Mustang. But even with these flaws, I always change my mind about selling my Mustang because it's my daily driver and because I really love its wedge shaped body styling.

I try to rationalize and to convince and tell myself that my daily V6 Mustang will probably get more battle scars and road rash on it from using it as my daily driver as more years of ownership go by and that I will need to "accept" the wear and tear that will occur on the body and on the bumpers.

As for my 2nd Fox body Mustang, I love the 2nd Mustang more than I love my 1st Fox body. My 2nd Mustang is a 2001 GT and it hasn't been driven much since I purchased it brand new back in August of 2001. It's only got 2,6xx original miles on it and I try to take care of it as best as I can so it doesn't get any scratches or dents anywhere on it. That's why I only drive it a few times only during the late spring and during the summertime. I think that I may be using my 2001 Mustang GT when my 2002 V6 Mustang starts breaking down or when it starts developing rust and mechanical problems. Even then, I would probably want to drive my GT very little for the fear of some dickhead hitting it like they did with my V6 Mustang. A Mustang is never the same again once it gets hit anywhere on any of its panels or on its bumpers. It may get repaired, but usually the repair comes out half-ass like the repair that was done on my V6 Mustang. Especially when you are dealing with repairing a front plastic bumper like I did. The repair was done and it came out okay, but with some minor flaws.
