Should I let my mustang go?

I have to slightly disagree here.

I do agree that of the 2 cars the RX-7 has more value. But by getting rid of the Stang that makes the RX-7 your DD thus negating all the reasons for keeping it. So if you ditch the Stang I would suggest getting some cheap reliable transportation as a DD because there is no way you should be driving this car everyday and racking up miles.

The plan is to DD it until my wife gets a new car. That should be by the end of the year hopefully. That way I can use her old one as my DD.

Def need to keep the 7.... auto stangs are a dime a dozen and frankly can't be anywhere near as fun as the 7. Good luck.

I have to be carefull when I enter highways... I looked at the speedo after merging the other day and I hit 100 without even realizing it. It's also fun in the corners even with it's worn out shocks. I'll replace them soon, but the cost is a little high.

4 koni yellows are around $600. Then you need 4 top shock mounts at 65 a piece plus shipping. Then labor.

Don't even ask about bushings. I had to import a set of Super Pro's for $535, but that doesn't include the 6 pillow balls in the rear. It's around $500 for them once you add in the dust seals and shipping.

I would not recommend relying on an RX-7 as your only car and daily driver. If you have to get rid of one of them, get rid of the Mustang, but buy something cheap to replace it.

I repeat: do NOT rely on an RX-7 as your daily driver!

Yeah, I know... I plan on using it as a DD for 6 months or so. I actually have 3 cars, so I could rely on my wife in case it breaks down.
