The Challenger thread prompted me posting this, but it looks like I'm going to have a new addition to our stable early next year.
The wifey & I had an interesting conversation last weekend and believe it or not we where actually talking about vehicles. A subject she never really feels comfortable with, but was for some reason interested this time.
So during that little chat – I mentioned that I was thinking about selling my 4x4 Supercrew that currently sees double duty as my daily driver (when I ain’t renting vehicles) and as the weekend pack-mule. What I proposed was a vehicle dedicated daily driver and still be able to haul a couple kids around and still haul all my tools & test equipment. Then find an old beater truck for the weekend duties.
But it looks like the wife is a little attached to the truck and actually suggested that we payoff the loan on the truck rather than sell it. Then I can purchase “whatever” vehicle I wanted. BTW Did I mention what a great gal my wife is? I think I’ll keep her.
Anyway it’s important to note that there was no mention of the 78B just keep our truck and get the vehicle I want.
What is the new vehicle you ask? A shinny new 2006 Mustang GT. Probably ain’t going to happen until late February or early March because of some major landscaping & construction we’re having done to the house right now. But I have already started collecting the brochures and scanning the various Mustang web sites in preparation. So far it turns out that on the Dollars to Ponies scale a “loaded” Mustang GT is a pretty darn good deal. So for well under $30K you can have a cool car with 300HP and can do 0-60 in 5.1 seconds!
Wish me luck!
