Will I miss my truck?
#42
I appreciate all the positive responses. You guys make it easy to justify a new GT. It really is a no brainer when you know my whole story. My truck is a GM 2500 HD gas burner. 11mpg. My wife has a Yukon. I restore and own two Muscle cars, a 66 Chevelle SS 396 and a 70 Chevelle SS 454 (LS-6). On top of that, I still have my grandfathers 66 LWB chevy truck that is as dependable today as it was 40 years ago. So, who needs the new truck? The Yukon will pull any trailer for whatever car shows I attend. The old truck can haul the junk. I think it was best said above when a truck is compared to a cozy chair, that what mine is-cozy. But gas mileage sucks! I think it's a done deal, I just need to sell the HD, trade in is pitiful, and start shopping for the Mustang!

Funny how much we all are alike!
I have an old 92 f-150 and was ready to buy my first new car. I live on 5 acres and need a truck and most all the men at my work drive trucks. So the natural choice would be a new truck, but the more I thought about it, I realized I would have a lot more fun driving a Mustang than a new truck, my 05 Mustang certainly gets better mpg than a truck would and I could not see myself hauling trash and junk in a new truck like I do with my old one. So I kept my old truck for hauling junk , but I drive my mustang daily. Driving a truck is like stting back and observing life go by. Driving a Mustang you, you hit the gas and leave your worries behind, you dont just sit back and observe life , you take hold of it and hang on, and enjoy every minute.
Im 51 and yeah the first comments I heard was "Mid life crisis". Shoot I would have had a Mustang long ago if I could have affored one, it just took me until now to be able to buy my wife her fourth new car and pay off bills so I could afford one.
