What I like and what I own are two different animals. I would own every one of those fine machines if in #2 or better condition. Of course garage space would be imperative. I'd love to own a brand new 2024 but financially that isn't going to happen and I'm really not a fan of the NAV screens anyway. My 13,000 miles 2014 GT is my machine for the long term most likely and I'm thrilled with the performance and old school ***** and buttons vs the NAV screen. It's probably the most modern car I could own without one.
LOVE IT! I mean loved it-an uninsured driver with no drivers license pulled out left into traffic & totaled it. my husband was ok except for hurt finger-no air bag, seat belt tucked him in. It was Cactus Gray, license plate ROADEO

Is this a poll of what you like? What you've owned? A wish list?
This is the internet so pick your post.
I originally started this to pick a favorite. I was then on the phone with my sister and came back to see that it is impossible to pick only one car. They are all good for different reasons.

I went to a Mustang car show with a Swap Meet a dozen more years ago.
A friend let me park next to him. I found he was a big player. I asked how many Mustangs he bought that didn't work? He said over 80 cars.(some were fixed, and some were parted out).

I liked the early cars and the Fox Body cars.

My best overall car is my 2019 Mustang GT350 with the flat-plane-crank (FPC). It is fast with all the best sounds:
MSRP stocker was $60K:

^^^ Most of us have. 25 years in law enforcement for me in the Tampa Bay area, and my dream was to be retired for 25 years as well. 25 years in and 25 years out was the goal.. I'm getting close but need to make it another 2 years and 2 months. With recent health issues I'm not sure I will make it, but I hope to.
These are my dream machines in my garage at the moment. Do I wish I could own even better examples? Yes, it would be nice but fantasy and reality are quite different with a cop pension. I'm certainly OK with this and waking up to views similar to this one which is just 10 minutes away.

^^^ Thank you! I don't know your age area but never say never. I started as a rookie at $9,600 a year back in 1977. My last salary in 2002 was around $56,000 as a sergeant. Life's journey takes you many places, both personally and financially. I could not afford Florida anymore back in 2002, mostly due to insurance costs (hurricane, flood, etc...) plus the county taxes became ridiculous for homeowners. This rural area we live in here in western NC is silly low in comparison and actually comfortable for us now that our home is paid off.
