When one door closes, another one opens. Stick around!
I got choked up a little saying goodbye when it was just me and the car before I handed over the keys. Today, I can say that it was absolutely the correct decision. I found an offer sheet I got from Carvana that I requested last year. It was for 8K less than what I got yesterday from Carmax. By all rights, my car should have been worth 10k lower than what I got for it. But hey, I guess Corona and this chip shortage worked in my favor.A lot of emotion in there. Something only a true car enthusiast can convey, and understand. I get it.
Absolutely, even if I own nothing but Chevys and Dodges Id still be here. We actually got my wife a 2007 Mustang GT convertible a few months ago that she loves. So it wasnt as abrupt a change as I thought it might be lol.congrats man. things change. cars come and go. but here, we are family and friends. THAT will never change. It sounds like you really enjoyed the car. There is always another opportunity.
It would be an honor to get a ride in that monster of yours! You're in excellent hands with JDM! I may have some parts listing soon that I completely forgot that I had purchased. Ill send you a PM when I fish em all out.Damn you actually sold her. It was good meeting you when I picked up the whipple mono blade. And I understand the frustrations with GT500s, they definitely have there issues. Hopefully my 5.8 will be back soon from JDM engineering. Maybe we'll meet up again and I'll give you a ride.
I told my wife that someday I wouldnt mind a 13-14 Mustang GT Auto. If I ever inherit my father's 2014 GT (that I originally ourchased new) Id auto swap it and be a happy camper lol.Just sold my Mustang yesterday and getting a new Truck also. It's just the here and now man. Next year...few years...you just may get the itch again. Maybe we both will. Definitely don't run off
Your words speak for most of us.
Totally understand life's turns and twists, and this is one of them. A new chapter with a fresh future. Whatever to do going forward, vehicle wise, I hope it's as well filled with fond memories.
You forgot to add Phaggot in that statement. Jesus Christ, are standards SLIPPING here! Thats it, cant leave yet. God's work to be done and such.I call for a ban until you get another car.
can’t put a price on speed, it’s a black hole. My current ride is lightly modded. I’ve been down the highly modded road, more than once. Keep saying I’m done, maybe like you’ve said (now that I’m a bit older) I am learning
But I think it’s awesome that @RedVenom48 wants a classic and to make it with power!
Next one will hopefully be with me till Im old and gray.Bought and sold quite a few cars. The good thing is most of them are easily replaceable. I've had three Hellcats because I've thought there were other cars out there I wanted more. Every time I've sold a car I've found a good deal on another one a short time later. I agree that enjoying them fairly stock is the way to go unless it's something you plan on keeping for a really long time.
Its a well known tuner in the Mustang world. Id prefer not to name them openly as I have no real beef with them. BUT they have a new policy where I as an existing customer have to "buy back in" for services from them, and thats just for minor revisions to my existing tunes. $500 for ethanol or race fuel tuning, and $500 more for a non stock power adder (or upgraded blower). On top of needing to buy an HP tuners interface as they no longer support SCT.That sucks you had so many issues with your GT500. Which tuner were you dealing with? It would be good to know so we can avoid them.
And like everyone said, you will be back haha
Might look into it. But what Id really like to do is buy a basic used Jr dragster and build it over the next few years. If the kids show any interest, off we go. If not, we Im sure it will be fun just to tinker lol!Now that you have a truck you can haul a kart to the race tracks and there are some great tracks in Arizona...just sayin.
I definitely tried to. I have no desire to make a real tally of all the money I spent on it, lol.Congrats man... sounds like it was an easy sell! You took good care of that car.

Add to it that they have a list of parts that they have "vetted" and will only tune for them. Pretty much they tell you what combo they will tune and you buy it. Then you pay them for tuning. Its very efficient for them and its their business, and certainly they arent the only option out there. But Ive been a customer of theirs since 2016 and it just feels like its a completely different atmosphere there from when I first signed up for their services.
Sounds like you figured out the company! Again, I have no real beef with them. Their business, they can do as they please and they are very successful.Oh man, I think I know who you're getting at and I have their tune on my 16 GT. Based in PA, does a lot of remote / mail tuning?
Best of luck with your next automotive moves
Just don't get into offroading.
Good lord, I thought I spent money on superchargers and go fast parts on the lightning...
Fortunately, the bed on my Raptor was too short for my liking or I would gone FARTHER down that rabbit hole.Just don't get into offroading.
