thats a nice T/A

 

1998 Mustang Coupe Alantic Blue (sold)
1998 Taurus white (demolished by some terd looking for his cell phone while driving).

 

I had an 89 F-250 that I sold in September, i still have my 86 Mercury Capri 5.0, i missed the truck in the winter but i definatly do not miss filling up the gas tanks in the truck, used the money from the truck as money down on the 05, and am loving every minute of the 05.

 

I have a 97 T-Bird. I tried to trade it in, but the saleman want to give me $800 for it. So I kept it. It has now become my daily beater. I am glad I kept it.

It is also much better (smoother) for long trips than the Pony is.

 

I was driving a 97 sunfire, which I sold myself while waiting for my 05 to arrive. Great little car, excellent gas mileage, but not my type of car. I was in dire need of a dependable car and had no credit at the time...so I bought it used. Lasted me about 5 years and still ran great.

 

A 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with Ram Air. Still have it.

 

2002 Ford Mustang V6 Convertible, in the junkyard now I guess......very very sad I lost her

 

2003 Mazda 6I and a 2000 Special Edition Mercury Cougar ( zinc yellow).....

 

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT
Really liked the car but could wait to get rid of it. Nothing but one thing after another with that thing. Really took a hit on the trade also but I was in awe when I found what I was about to order on the lot.

 

This was an interesting thread ... I was excited to see a 1/2 dz. Chevys right off the bat so I thought I'd do a tally ...

Ford ...35
GM ... 22
Mopar ... 4
Rice ... 14
Euro ... 2

If you add up the non-Fords, we got a nice ratio of converts which is really good to see.

Besides one beater Pontiac Bonneville in the early 80's, I've always owned Fords ... an '05+ Mustang will be in my stable in a year or two after I rack up a few more miles on my '04 !!

1967 Fairlane 79,000mi still have (never gonna sell) 1990 Probe GL 121,000 very clean need to sell, and just got a 91 ranger 90,000 for my daily driver

 

I sold my 98 Trans Am and we traded in our 2004 Chevy SS truck for the 05 GT we have now!

 

I had a black 99 Mustang GT, traded it in for my 05 v6.
Had 75,000 miles on it.
I loved it when I first got it - but the 05 is way better - even if it is just a v6.

 

lol, I don't think some of those 14 will appreciate you calling their car rice. Maybe a Japanese car, but not all Japanese cars are rice.

 

I respectfully submit that my RX7 is most certainly NOT rice and for a 12 year old car would still easily work over a GT in everything but the 1/4 mile, and only then by a hair.

/edit: I dont' want this to become a debate, I'm just stating my opinion.

 

1989 black vert GT. Sold it 2 weeks ago. Had the car for 6 years. The only thing keeping me sane now is I have an 05 redfire GT vert with everything on order as of 02-28-05. Spoke to my dealer today. I told him what you guys are all saying. They still think I should have my car by the end of july. If not, He said the order will roll over to the 06. Just wonder what that will do to the price? So for now driving an 89 F250 with a 460 under the hood. Sure hope the price of oil goes down soon

 

I had a Cougar for a short time, not the SE yellow one, but same basic car. I couldn't stand that car. Uncomfortable, couldn't see out of it and lost a TON of $ on it. Hope you liked your better than I liked mine.

'01 Candy Apple Red V6 coup

 

This is my 7th Mustang. The prior one was a '97 Cobra Vert Black w/Camel top/interior. That car turned lots of heads (including officers often) and hated to see it go. Car ran well and was great fun in the sun. I miss it on sunny days, but the '05 is much nicer in every other way.

The only non-Ford I've owned was a BMW. You can't beat them for tightly screwed together vehicle, comfort, handling ability etc. Also, their service cannot be rivaled as far as the way they treat you. Problem is out of warranty repair is a kings ransom.

 

It is a Grand Am thing. I got a 97 for my wife, and I swear those cars were designed to self destruct at 100,000 miles.

As for me, I have a 93 Ford Ranger with 190,000 miles on it. It has never failed to start and the only engine work that has been ever done (other than routine mait... was a new clutch at 150,000 miles)
