Regardless of how much power it makes, it is still a Mustang. I silenced the room at TWS when I told everyone that my car was just like a Mustang GT with a stronger motor and better transmission. It's just a car. It does not make me a better or worse person that I own it.

As for the ride, anytime we are in the same place at the same time, we'll make it happen!

And I was dead set on Audi R8 vert...now...I am uncertain. Especially with a supercharged Viper vert on the horizon!

Wouldn't the viper vert defeat the purpose of "so the kids can ride in the backseat"?

That it would! But sometime we all have to make sacrifices.

I make Mustangs jokes because the irony is funny to me after owning so many of them (I still have one, though it doesn't get used at all lol) and also because it ruffles so many feathers around here. Too many people take this shit WAY too seriously. I've called everyone one of my cars a "shitbox" including my 5.0 and it seriously bothered some people around here. I'll never understand people who are raging brand loyalists. There are way too many cool cars out there to be so devoted to just one make/model of a car.

Will I every buy another Mustang? I'm not sure. My history says I'm a Mustang addict after owning so many of them. I'm having a really good time with my V and use it WAY more than I ever did my 5.0 . It's faster, more comfortable and more family friendly. It's my daily and I'm looking for a new toy at the moment. Will it a Mustang? No, I think not. I don't like the new Stangs from what I have seen so far and there are several other cars on my list that I would like to play with for awhile before going back to my Mustang roots. I might someday, but not in the for seeable future. If I were to buy another one, the only one I could see myself driving would be a 13/14 GT500.

This is when you get the wife involved to get her playing with cars. One for both of you. Two cars, four seats and room for the kiddos!!
