I will miss my 95 GT for sure. It was a great car, and still is. The 87 GT was nice too. At least I'll be able to see the 95 every now and then, since a friend is buying it. The 87 is long gone - I sold that one to a 15 year-old who didn't even have his license yet - I never bothered to check if it was still around, but I somehow doubt it. Here are pictures of the 95 and the 87, with one picture of me handing over the 87 keys to the kid. Heh.

Had a 2k Jetta before the 05 Stang... all of High School(well, junior and senior year) and most of college...

I won't miss it, as it is still in the driveway...however, I think the Jetta is one of the funnest sedans to drive. It will snap around a corner like nothing and for a 4-cyl it sounds pretty good (grunts, no whines)

2003 civic ex coupe, night hawk black. I miss the moon roof and the change drawer. My only regret is I didn't pull the rims before handing it over to the Ford dealership. Honda makes great engines and very nice cars. But truth be told it was the resale that sold me on it, I knew it was just going to get me by until I found something I REALLY wanted and could afford.

I don't miss my old car a bit. I had a '99 Black Mustang GT. Don't get me wrong - it was a great car and still is, and there are things I miss about it, but man, even tho I am a bit disappointed with the interior of the 2005, ...
hearing "Nice Ride" at every stoplight - sure makes ya feel good.

I sold my 1968 GT/CS California Special to buy a new Mustang (not here yet). I will miss the car even though I only had it a year. I wanted a car I could have fun with, drive more and I wanted a 5 speed. Was always afraid to take the 68 out and they require so much upkeep. I just bought an 03 Ranger for winter driving and selling my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My husband has an 05 Jeep Rubicon and a 65 Riviara. The 68 is leaving for Sweden this week!

i still got my old car. shes my daily driver. 94 Tbird 4.6L V8
I was going to trade in my T-Bird, but they low balled me. So I kept her as well. But mine is a 97. She has become my nasty weather driver. I bring the Mustang out on nice days.

It also is nice to drive a 200 hp car around, then go back and jump in the Mustang GT.

I miss my 97 SHO. I looked long and hard to find one in good shape. Then bambi took it all away from me.



I miss the sound of the overhead cams. I miss the sound of the exhaust. I miss going fart can hunting. Not many Tauri could reach 140.

I've had tons of cars, several of them stangs, and now that I have my new stang I don't miss them at all. Well I guess I do miss my Jeep in the winter and my truck when I need to haul around stuff, but other than that....nope, don't miss them.

Went from an 01 Mustang V6 to an 05 Mustang GT. What was the question again? Do I miss my previous car? I can't even remember what she looked like.

B)
I had a dilemma! I had a '69 fastback that I had built up and driven daily- you can do that year-round here in Florida. But I recently acquired the shell of a '67 coupe that I'm now rebuilding.

Maintenance was beginning to be a pain with the '69 - I didn't want to have 2 cars that needed work. So I oredered a 2005 GT to be my driver. Once it came in, I put the '69 on eBay - and got my price! It has gone off to a new owner in Texas who will baby it not drive it regularly.

The picture below was taken earlier the day the '69 was put on the car carrier to go to Texas. And it's sale has made a significant dent in my outstanding loan on the '05.

This one turned out to be win-win all the way around.

Sorry to repeat myself. I posted this in my intro before seeing this thread.

I bought a salvaged 66 and worked on it on and off for 11 years. What you see in the photos is just one step from completion (taken 1 week before the "event"). Color; Amber Glow; 289 bored out to a 302 with duel quads; "Twice Pipes" (duel with glass packs); 17" American Mags; Hurst racing transmission and 4 speed; Traction bars; Cream colored Pony Interior...... It was real sweet. I had but one more thing to do....tint the windows. I dropped it off and was told to pick it up in about 4 hours. When I returned I was in for a real shock. They'd taken it for a joy ride and TOTALED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyond any chance of repair.

Need I say what my reaction was? AND...... are you sitting down?....... they still wanted to charge me for the tint job (which was beautiful, by the way.)

Do I miss it? darn right I do.

Ordered Nov. 16, sold this two weeks later in anticipation of the new Mustang. D'oh!



Been stuck since then in a '99 Taurus we picked up real cheap. Miss the SVT Focus a bunch now that autocross season is here. What an awesome car.

The Taurus? How can I miss it if it won't go away? My 'stang has been in transit since the end of January and "at the ramp" since Feb. 17.
