Electric mustang..........NEVER~! Mind you with the price of gas and insurance, I may have to raise a family in my car.

Yeah I joke about that all the time, maybe they'll use the audio speakers to produce the V8 engine sound.. muahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Thanks Galaxie,
Like Ben, I can keep more than one car. My last car was 30 years old. It was sold with less than 53,000 miles on it. Ran like new.

I drove it and I drive my Mustang when the weather is nice and enjoy it very much.

The Taurus is showing rust along the bottom of the doors (only place!)...

Yeah I agree, however I'm now having to take the Subway... It takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to get dowtown, by car it would be around 15 minutes. But I'm not paying $8-$10/day to park... And I wouldn't drive the Mustang downtown anyway...

Wouldn't that be nice, that would save a bundle. They should give a discount based on the # of km's you drive.

That would be nice. Based on my 1400 k's this year my insurance is almost $1.00/km (and thats only for 6 months)

At that price who cares about gas milage and maintanance.
