[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 6948486, member: 40530"] hahaha negative. Im actually looking for another GST Spyder as I have a local that has done two AWD conversions already and has an entire setup for a third AWD Spyder conversion (FYI no Spyders came in AWD form, only FWD, and my hatred for fwd and useless 3 gears is what made me get rid of the spyder in the first place to move onto Mustangs). Looking for something really clean around the $9k mark, and im sick of huge payments, huge insurance premiums and yes, gas does sorta suck when you are paying ~250/mo and you only commute 10min to and from work a day, and dont go anywhere else really. Freeing up that sort of cash will let me do a whole lot of other things i cant do now, cut my hours at work and possibly go back to school and explore other employment options cause i hate where i am at now and being tied to payments only makes the situation worse. Plus im just not into the Cobra or the whole Mustang stuff anymore, im a dsm'er, always have been, always will be. I need to stick to what im good at. I know what i can do to those cars and can almost do it in my sleep. I know how to tune for almost any situation and theres great end-user tuning systems (AEM EMS, DSMlink, etc) that just arent even close to what Mustangs have (what, Sniper, SCT? not even close and since nobody uses it, theres no end-user knowledgebase). even my buddies are like "yeah, the Cobra is sweet, but the GST was all you". I sit in my 90 GSX now and it just feels right, i get in my Cobra and i feel a bit out of place. It just hasnt really grown into me yet, and its been a year this go around (had it for ~5 months the first time, repurchased it julyish of 07), so if it hasnt become an extension of me yet, its probably not going to. I re-purchased from Jake (01strimbullitt) because at the time things were going awesome, work was great, etc. and i didnt want to see the car go to someone who might treat it bad, abuse it, kill themselves, etc. But like a month later, we lost a bunch of great people and things at work have continued to spiral downhill, we basically lost our entire knowledgebase at the plant and nobody knows anything anymore, and the people left that still do just get brushed aside.
