Hey Jesal, might want to cut down on the estrogen injections. You're a little too sensitive.

Auto Trader has stock SVT Cobra's from $27,995 to $35,995. A depreciation of only $6k over 4 years is pretty good, espically when you can get low mileage GT's for under $18k. I'd sell it and get a Z06 or a C7, since I'd have never bought a mustang in the first place.

Don't get the '91 M5 ... Either get a E28 M5 or a E24 M6. I don't like that gen of 5-series pictured. But do get rid of the E24. Autos suck for a "fun car" unless there's like a 500ci V8 connected to it

Rust free CA M6 for 10k if you want. Just needs some interior work.

Yeah that looks a lot better. I'm trying to talk the g/f into starting over with one that has a better interior. Nothing major wrong, just the usual wear and tear. Bitch getting everything back together.

Nicky, just out of curiosity... how are things at work? Weren't you having problems with the boss (who's also your aunt or something)? I remember you saying that business is so slow, the head designer is only going to come around every so often? I ask because... if business is slow... would it be wise to sell a car and buy something else where your payments might be more? (I don't know if your car's paid off or what... but you get what I'm sayin' )

I would like to call this the delusion thread....or I'll just go ahead and assume folks are kidding about buying 20 year old M-cars with 170K or 240K miles. Might as well dump gasoline on your wallet and set it aflame.

Its a hobby and hobbies cost money.

Just need to know what to look out for so nothing major needs to be replaced. Otherwise most of the parts are cheap and easily found.

Not as if i would buy it for a daily driver. That be nuts.
