Whats up everyone,

So here is my situation. Back in January 2004, I bought a 2002 Vert. that I absolutely loved. It wasn't exactly what I wanted(color, no mach, etc.) but regardless I loved it. It was my first Mustang, and I had always dreamed of having one since I was 15.

Anyway, due to life, I decided to trade it in on a Honda Accord at the end of 2004 because my wife was pregnant. Ever since, I have regreted it.

I have tried to supplement the Mustang with other toys that I could afford to pay cash for since (Motorcycle, Jeeps, and most recently an older Vette). All have been fun, but none as fun as my old Mustang.

It took a while, but I have come to the conclusion that nothing will cure me but to suck it up, and put kid seats in the back of a Mustang.

I have 2 options.

1. Find a 2002-2004 GT Vert. that was similar to one that I fell in love with originally.

2. Get a 2007 GT Vert. built to my specs.

A couple things to consider though. I, like the rest of you on this forum, enjoy to mod my vehicles. If I select the 07 option, mods will definately be out until a promotion at work. However, if I get the older style, I could have some fun and mod is slowly like I did my original one.

Wow give up a stang for a honda? Thats the twilight zone forsure.
My wife only allows me one major mod a year. So it gives me time to consider my next mod and shop around too.

Get the '07 and wait on the mods. These cars ride so much better than the older ones it's a no brainer, especially if you are going to have family riding in it. I'll tell you though, getting a small dog out of the back seat is a pain, so be prepared if you are going to put a child's car seat back there.

Good luck with whatever you choose!!!
