No Weeping For The Ghosts Of The Past

Here's a pretty neat article on the new Mustang, GTO, and Charger.

On a side note, who else has a thing for the new Magnum SRT-8? Damn do I have the hots for that thing! Now if only they'd offer it with a manual transmission.

I fell madly in lust with an 05 F-One Fitty 4x4 this week. It was jacked up, nice meats, great sound, extended cab and loads of options.

if I could afford the payments, I would swap my stang for it in a minute. I'm ready for a change.

Kate, what year Cobra do you have? How many miles on the odometer? Anything prompting a switch in vehicles?

I wouldn't mind having a pickup too. It would be extremely handy for the Lowes and nursery runs! If it weren't a Lightning, I'd probably just get a standard 2-wheel drive 1/2 ton, midsize or mini as a back-up vehicle. I don't think I could stand feeding one of those big 4-by monsters. Especially with gas prices on the climb. Which brings me to a point. If you're serious about a big truck, you might want to hold off a while. If gas prices continue to rise, these trucks might soon be able to be picked up for CHEAP from owners who can no longer afford/or don't want to pay the gas to drive them. Case in point: a friend I work with. Him and his wife are looking to dump a newer Expedition because fill-ups have become to expensive. In about their

3-4 years ownership, the Expedition has gone from a "primary" vehicle for her, to a back-up (they own three cars), to For Sale.

How many miles on the odometer? about 70k

: Anything prompting a switch in vehicles? I miss having a 4WD that's MINE and I can't really drive the Cobra like I used to out in California. Looking for something I can have a little fun in the country with. meaning PLAY IN THE MUD, haul a few plants or whatever. Make a Tonka Toy out of it.

: : I wouldn't mind having a pickup too. It would be extremely handy for : the Lowes and nursery runs! We have an F250 Super Duty... can you say b-o-r-i-n-g. It carried heavy stuff, but I don't want a truch to really haul anything, I just love trucks. Gas engines and auto trannys and 4x4 shift on the fly. Short bed half tons.. oh yea! All for fun.

If it weren't a Lightning, I'd probably : just get a standard 2-wheel drive 1/2 ton, midsize or mini as a back-up : vehicle. I don't think I could stand feeding one of those big 4-by : monsters.

It's no worse than my Cobra, trust me, not really enough to notice.

Especially with gas prices on the climb. Which brings me to : a point. If you're serious about a big truck, you might want to hold : off a while. If gas prices continue to rise, these trucks might soon : be able to be picked up for CHEAP from owners who can no longer : afford/or don't want to pay the gas to drive them.

Oh, I cannot afford one anyway, I was just sniffing the new off of it a little LOL.

Case in point: a : friend I work with. Him and his wife are looking to dump a newer : Expedition because fill-ups have become to expensive. In about their : 3-4 years ownership, the Expedition has gone from a "primary" vehicle : for her, to a back-up (they own three cars), to For Sale.

I can understand that.
