January is usually slooooow. But in the first 6 weeks of this year we have picked up half of what we did all of last year. So I am hammering at it.

Plus, I got my boy Call of Duty 4, and I got hooked on it. That and Bad Company.

So if anyone is looking...she is a beauty and needs nothing but love.

Scott my wife has always wanted a 70 Mach1 ever since she seen one at a car show/gathering. I have looked for some and they have been way over priced for ones that need ALOT of help. Yours is a beautiful Stang. I wish I had the money for it right now. Hope if a for sale signs pops up on it you can get more than what the mid $30s for it.

May be going up for sale faster than first thought. Drove a new 2011 Explorer and Edge today. Both are awesome but I am much in favor of the Explorer. Banged my head getting into the Edge because of the fast sloping roof line. Or because I have a fat head.

I would take it off your hands, but no room at the Inn. I really like the Edge - my wife doesn't. Otherwise I would replace two vehicles with one Edge, and that would leave room for another toy. Hmmmm...

Man, I am really getting the itch to go outside and clean the car. This slight warm up has really made me want to spend the weekend detailing. Not to mention I've been surfing Autopia quite a bit. Right now just praying for a quick transition to spring.

So I've been researching various cars that I like, for after we sell/move/purchase homes and move to the Cleveland area..... I have been following the Dodge Challenger SRT8 closely because I love the look of the car and like the feel of the larger engine (low speed torque rules, LOL) along with the feeling of it as a "muscle car" compared to a "sports car" or "pony car"...... But then these new 5.0s continue to blow my sox off with very minimal mods, see thread:

https://themustangsource.com/f726/st...9/#post6013153

This is dang near the 1/4 mile times that my 06 ran with the Saleen blower and full compliment of mods! Very impressive.

Today on the drive from Westlake to Cleveland, I followed a black Challenger R/T on I-90 for a few miles (with a young blonde chick driving, and smoking cigarettes LOL) and I continue to look at the Challenger as an awesome looking machine..... man it's a tough decision IMO.

I guess I have plenty of time since a vehicle purchase won't happen until we're relocated and comfortable with knowing the new monthly expenses.

They both sound great but having already had the Mustang and knowing how much you've been thinking and talking about the Challenger I agree with Scott. There's no replacement for displacement. Plus the car is an absolute looker. And you don't see as many. I hate having a car everyone else has. I get pissed when I see another Raptor and that's happened 3 times in the last year and all of those times I was in a different car.
