Well today started my process on my ownership of my second Terminator and this one I'm not letting go. Was expecting delivery tomorrow but it came today instead. Nice to finally have it home now I just need to wait for spring / summer to arrive.

I keep tossing the idea around of selling mine. Some days I am about it and some days I am not.
You cut that bafoonery out right now. Don’t you make me sell a kidney to buy it. You enjoy that car, and smile every mile! There are only 3 Sonic Blue’s on this forum I’d ever buy. Youre one of them.

Love it! It's kind of a Goldilocks vehicle. Does a lot of things right.
What engine do you have? I see a bunch of hybrids along with turbo 4's at our local dealer. Prices aren't terrible. I'd probably do the Lariat trim level seeing this would be our main vehicle. I haven't researched them much yet.

This is me too. No place to blast around here anymore with all the traffic.

My #1 wish is for more garage space, THIS is a close second.

WAY too peopley where I am. I need to get better at going for a drive in the early morning hours as a workaround.

I'm OK with the garage, 22' x 26', of course it could always be bigger. This is just after the floor was done. The blue tape is for the new cabinets and work bench.

I think the 03-04 will end up like the Boss 429. They made many more Cobras, but their is more similarities than you think.

Wouldn't it be crazy if these cars in 20 years are 250k+ like those Boss 429 cars.

Nah. Everyone thinks what they have or what they like will also be worth "something" in the future, but the future belongs to future people.

Look at the GN and GNX... Worth a lot to some, but their production numbers are low and it is a very unique vehicle.

The value of Terminators *might* grow, but I wouldn't bet on it. If you're looking for money then invest in the stock market or real estate and your money will double every 7-10 years. The stock market has a better return than a GN or GNX.

Drive these cars. Have fun with them while you're alive, which isn't all that long.

Why do I feel like I am getting yelled at by my dad? Hahaha
Hahaha, I don’t have a leg to stand on (pun intended). However you’ve worked so hard to build that car into what YOU wanted it to be. If you were to sell it you’d have to pray someone else also had the same vision or interest in all the suspension, etc. These days it’s tough to find people who don’t think basic bolt ons ruin cars.

I did answer this when someone else asked in depth a few pages ago so I wont go into quite as much detail but the summary is it just was not what I like. I knew the differences these cars have over the Cobra's and what they excel at but in the end I just really like the brute force power of the Cobra's and I could not get past how the 350 was so boring down low. Fast car that handles awesome and does so many things well but overall it just wasn't what I like. I like to have power at the tap of the throttle and not have to go through thousands of RPM's to start feeling any grunt
I’m torn because both my cars are raw monsters but I really love the look of the Shelby’s
