Well the time has come that it looks like I will be selling my Stang.
My daughter went to the orthodontist this past week and we got the news that she is ok to begin the procedure to put braces on her. Unfortunately insurance only covers about 1/2 the cost. We have enough money to make the downpayment of $1100 in September but it'll wipe us out and we won't have the funds for any emergencies that may crop up. So if I sell the car we'll have the money to pay the entire thing 100% right away, have money for a few needed house repairs and to put into savings.
I told the wife I'd be willing to make this sacrifice but that once we can afford it I want another Stang. She really doesn't want me to have to sell it but the reality is we don't have allot of choice. It'll probably be 4-5 years down the road (need to replace the wifes car in a nother year or 2) but I will be back in one and until the day I sell her I'll enjoy the one I have now. If I get another one I'll probably step up to a S197 or an 2010.
With that said I'll still have a 2 valve 4.6 with my 2004 Mountaineer. Not as fast but it'll get up and move. Anyone know if I can put my Mustang CAI on it? How about my Predator? If not I'll leave the CAI on the car and sell the Predator seperate.
Hate to see this day come but family comes first.
