I feel like I may have to... it's pricier but I can just save a bit longer. I know I'd be the most happy with all the power and looks.

I will for sure... I'm just thinking of the sound of a 4cyl with an exhaust

The sports with under 40k on them (mostly 20-30k) are around 17-18.5k.

It's a hard decision. I'll have to test drive a few. One thing though: The v6 is much harder to find and there are very nicely equipped SE 2.5 4 cyl all over with very low mileage right in my range. Might be the smarter decision. I guess the faster I can get that and my school loan paid off... can move on with life. I'm going to get a Mustang down the road anyways so I'll have to just get that exactly how I want when the time comes. This at least keeps my truck from seeing winter and more miles.

A few examples:

2011 SE

2012 SE

2012 SE

Maggie and I started the morning with excitement. When we went out there was a large snake on the patio. Non venomous but trying to strike her. Of course, she was trying to grab it while I ran to get a shovel. Finally got it on the shovel and carried it to the woods.

Very large dealership and very active in racing. The Tasca Mustang is a vintage race car.

Yup, I always think it's a small world when I see them on here. Very well known around here. A lady I work with has done graphics on some of their Shelby's.

This car was all over the Hot Rod magazines in the 1960's.

Pretty cool pic PawPaw. Irwindale Raceway! Irwindale California.

Sad to say it's gone now, Miller Brewery has that land and closed down the Drag strip, Motocross track, and the Motorcycle Speedway. I miss that place. In-N-Out Burgers was a giant sponsor of the track and helped keep alot of youngsters from killing themselves street racing.

That would be great if they opened that stuff again. Not sure why if it's still there, they wouldn't let someone fix and operate them.

It's a large brewing complex now, gone as gone can be. The only racing that goes on there now is the employees either racing to the time clock to punch out, or racing to get out of the parking lot!

They still have a few limited events at the Pomona Fairgrounds, about 10 or 15 miles away, but not much.

Yeah similar story out here. When my dad was in his 20s in the 70s, there was a racetrack in his town. That stuff is long good.
