Everyone Leaving?

[viperos]

jeeze... does it seem like a ton of people are getting fed up w/ their mustangs lately?? I know of 3 people at least on this board who have gone on to other life-styles... because of an accident, or car problems, whatever... guess there might be some justification to that "fix or replace daily" acronym FORD

 

[Stangler]

Too bad for them!!! More parts for us!!!

 

[tarch]

I know one person who won't trade in his car anytime soon


in case you were wondering... that would be ME

+3, and i have a major problem with my car, someone who didnt know anything worked on it before i had it, haha, so i have to fix everything, but i still love it and wont trade it. i'll rebuild everything before i get rid of it.

Well.....let's see here....I had a loan on my Mustang (first of all). Now what is the point of paying on a dead horse?? Next the engine is ****, I ain't about to come up with 6,000 dollars anytime soon and that comes back to point number 1 (why pay on a dead horse?). It's not that I don't like the car, I just don't have TIME or MONEY to be putting into my daily driver. If the engine would have never crapped out, I would still be loving my car.

not ever selling

 

[89SportVert]

Only way mine is going anywhere is by prying the key out of my cold dead hand.

 

[TheRedBlur]

I'm keeping mine forever, when I die, it will be donated to a charity for an auction.

this is the original ford mustang driven by racecar driver/actor/rockstar Gerard Murphy throughout his life beginning when he was 18, it was also seen in movies like the bloodbane killer, tarmac dreams, and in his music videos. It is also a trophy winning car when he raced amateur GT and American Iron classes in his 20's

 

[viperos]

you know... I really can't see why people mistake your car for mine they don't look that much alike at all! Kalin, you think?

 

[WaterPog]

I'm thinking about selling mine, just don't have the time/money to keep it up. Thinking something a little more street oriented, maybe an SUV or something like that.

Me too.

I think more of an issue is lack of actually having meaningful gatherings. Burgermaster and XXX are cool and all, but maybe planning events and other things might spark the interest of more people. Just my opinion.

This year overall has been pretty bland for the Mustang crowd. I noticed early on less and less involvement from certain people who just quit getting involved all together even before summer was half over.

Last year was pretty eventful, and I was looking forward to this season now that I finally have a v8 with a decent amount of power ... but I didn't exactly show up every weekend to BM and other events like I had previously.

Perhaps it'd be a good time to organize some sort of morale event to get the 'ole crew together before we can't even drive our 'stangs this winter. At the very least, start planning another NW meet in April like earlier this year ... that was ... AWESOME.

no... its the lack of money! can't afford a new engine, can't afford a new car to replace the one that just wrecked.

i think we all agree that we love Mustangs but it takes money to keep this hobby going. when we get hit with an expensive repair (or the expense of replacing) then its better to get out instead of go under.

although better meeting would be a welcome thing! i liked the Champs meeting we had.

we should have meetings to work on each others cars and keep them from having major repairs and accidents.
