Especially considering it's just a standard 5.0 that you can easily pick up another at some point if you wanted to. If it was a rare color combo GT500 or something, I could somewhat get that I guess, but at the end of the day, it's still a Mustang, tons of them were made and you can replace it. Life is short, enjoy the hobby to its fullest.
Beauty of the car hobby is I can build the car up to what I want it to be, so it's not a standard run of the mill 5.0 anymore. That's the whole point of customzing, at least in my eyes. Now if I had a stock 5.0, kept it stock, then I could see that making sense.

When my truck was totaled, it hurt me to see it gone. Yeah, it was just a v6 F150, but it was still a truck that I worked on, enjoyed, made my own, and made many memories in. It's about making it your own.

Look at how many cars Jay Leno has. He doesn't sell off, just buys more because each one has a story or connection with it. That's how I feel.
