I own my own mustang convertable v6 1998, why would I try to talk you out of it? LOL !!!!

Why would you want a rust-ang?

Camaros? Right out... to. Sissy cars.

Get yourself a vintage 1958 Corvette *drool*

Anyone worth their salt should be able to name exactly what movie the above is from, and the exact music playing.... or you're banned. *grin* kidding of course.

If you want to pay out the ass go right ahead and buy a car that will sit in your garage and or drive way.

The entire point of owning a car is to drive it, that would not sit in my garage.

From clip: Heavy Metal (1982) and song is Radar Rider by Riggs.

Real animation before the age of anime.

Anywho, why buy a mustang? If you don't want baby it, then get yourself a car that looks nice and doesn't chew the ass end off your wallet/purse when it comes to the pump?

Of course, don't listen to me... I'm a proud VW owner from 1983 Rabbit Diesal (53 MPG thank you) and a 1998 Jetta DOHC (32 MPG) that goes from 0-60 in 6.9s . ^_^

I own a v6 as I said and it doesn't chew my wallet any more than the buick did, which was a V8 I seem to get 2-3 days more gas than before. Anyhow what mustang where u planning on getting?

Yeah, with Mustangs you gotta go big or go home. Tell me your thining of getting at least a GT (If your getting a newer mustang that is).

A mustang IS a MUSTANG period. I don't see why everyone is always fucking praising GTs. GOD!!!

thats a niiice corvette

Post by **Gaiseric** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 7:58 pm

Because my sisters toyota is faster than the non GTs. . .

Post by **psi29a** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 8:07 pm

Because a majority of mustangs are worthless ego boosters.

My Jetta 98 can own up on non GT mustangs as well.

A GT package is: disc brakes, a handling package with stiffer springs, shock absorbers, stiffer front anti-roll bar, fast-ratio steering, and duel exhaust.

However, in the 80s and the 90s the GT was only a name you paid more for, however the LX was the real performer.

The Mustang of the 80s and 90s are ugly as sin. It wasn't till the new design came out that the Mustang gathered a better curb appeal.

The Shelby GT500 is hands down the sexiest Mustang of them all.

Mustang is a brand, and often times it is tarnished by POS models, I'm talking the 4 bangers... which if a mustang is a Mustang means that the entire brand is doomed.

I have to agree with Psi's first post. That corvette is sexy mainly because i have a thing for older looking car models.

All I know is my car is NOT a peice of shit.

Thankfully this thread is dedicated to talking angi out of buying a Mustang, so we (more importantly I) didn't mean to imply that your car is a PoS. If you paid for it, then no one has the right to dis your car. My apologies.

However, I maintane that I spent $12K (stock, no aftermarket) on my car in 1998 and it can still out-perform some non-GT Mustangs that easily cost twice that.

It really is about the image and the brand. Lots of people get thrills just thinking about a Mustang.

I am not one of those people who has their EGO boosted just by owning a certain car. I payed less than book value for my car, so its worth more than I paid.

Rock on. I wish the same could be said of those I remember growing up with.

Dude, don't buy yourself a Mustang...buy ME a Mustang (GT, that is).

Post by **angi** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 7:13 am

Yeah, you guys are too cool...

Damn Ford people almost got me with that 0% financing deal. Then VW almost got me with their 0%. Damn beetles have to be so cute. The Jetta is kind of nice too.

But then I decided that crossing the $20k mark isn't my style, even if I can afford it. (I am the world's cheapeast-ass-cheapskate when it comes to cars.) So I am back to waiting patiently for the farking 2007 civics to come out. Because I get lots more out of an EX without the sticker price and bad gas mileage. At $3.25 a gallon, gas is an issue no matter how much I drive...

Plus the boyfriend wants to buy a classic when he moves here. What is with boys and horsepower? Sheesh

ETA: Gosh, I am a freakin' granny!

Post by **Gaiseric** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 7:41 am

Civics are gay.

Get a Golf(preferably a GTI) or even a Rabbit.

Post by **angi** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 7:48 am

Yeah, 30/40 mpg, low insurance rates, and high resale value for under 20k is really gay

I'm totally gay then.

Post by **Gaiseric** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 7:57 am

I was going to say that Hondas are for old people and girls, then I noticed you are a girl... so go for it...I guess.

The actual car is not gay, but the people who modify them are. Its is a very... practical, reliable car though. I just dont understand girls.

Post by **angi** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 5:16 am

That orange one looks like dukes of hazard.

I'm old and a girl

quit discriminating!
