Checking out

I know this isn't the place for this, but I also don't know where is. I just want to thank TMS and all the members that make this the best site that has hepled me with my Mustang jones.
Thing is, for the first time in ten years, no Mustang. I was offered more than I could refuse for my Stang. So it's gone and I picked up a non Stang (BMW 3281 hardtop convertible). Still plan on auto-crossing but the strip is out.
Again, a super thanks for the friendships and shared love for the best American Musce car ever. And the best people on the web.
There will be lot's of stuff for sale soon.

You don't have to leave, y'know. That you have Mustang in the heart means you can stay all you want.

And tell story about your Beemer's exploits maybe.

Like Houtex said, don't have to leave. You may have good advice to share, and you never know when you will come across another Stang! Enjoy the new ride.

Steve,
best of luck to you, hope your time with your Mustang was awesome, hope the same or better for its successors... and again a heartfelt thankyou for a great message one day from a stranger 2000 miles away that I really really needed that day. will never forget it as long as I live- seriously. Thanks man.
The wifes heart stuff seems at bay again for now, the blocked bypass seems to not have done any further damage, shes back to her same old self, going to school, keeping up with our 3 yr old, lovin every minute of it

God bless you and yours- keep in touch
Tim

Thanks guys, you touch my heart. And you're right, I know I couldn't go cold turkey from TMS. This Stang juice has been flowing strong in me for decades. At age 7, I was in the showroom when my Dad took ownership of his 289 Coupe. And I have done a few (too many) things to my cars over the years. Maybe I can help someone out. That's always a good thing!

Tim, as we know, God has a plan for each of us. May your wife have contuied good health. And may your family always be blessed.

I agree, that's BMW's Vapor Silver. But, they call it Space Gray. I wasn't found of the red interior at fisrt, but love it now.

Dang right. That's what made the deal I tried uploading pics I took and it won't let me today?
By the way, the Ford dealer that took my car has it on the lot as a
Special Edition" Roush. BS, and what makes me made is I told the GSM that I installed all the parts. And the autograph I had on my car is Mario Andretti, they are saying it's Jack Roush's. What bs, oh, and asking $36,900. It is a super car, they are just misrepresenting it.

Steve, as others have said, stick around here even though you don't have a Mustang for now. Good looking 3 Series. I went w/o a Mustang from 1994-2000, but have otherwise owned a Mustang since 1982. If you're ever on my side of the Cascades, stop by sometime and take my '11 5.0L for a drive if you need a Mustang fix.

So glad we both got to compare notes building our supercharged GT automatics. My '07 has been gone since February, but like you, I've got a cool new car to ease my seperation anxiety.

Even though I work at a Ford/Lincoln dealer, we get BMW's on trade occasionally. I sold an '08 335i last week. Nice car with good power from its turbocharged six. While your car doesn't have the turbos, it still oozes cool with that retractable hardtop. Hope you're still getting some top down whether for a little longer over there (it's raining here so my wife is driving her Miata with the top up now).

Back into a Stang. 2007 GT Performance White Premium Convertible. Picked the one owner beauty up wit 7,128 miles on it. Bone stock. Perfect hobby car that feels so good. This style suits me. I've got about a dozen boxes of mods to install. They're are all coming at once, love'n it. Only have these pics while still on lot for now.
I'm so happy to have a Stang again, and to go it again for the 3rd time on this platform. The fun is on full throttle.
So you'l be seeing me around more.
Thanks for all the supporters and great people on this site.
