If I were planning on going, I'd be totally fine with that, but I don't think I'll make this trip actually, I've been talking shit mostly

Well, if I come to this event it will be in a different car. I have officially decided to sell my Mustang.

We picked up a 95 Cherokee this weekend to replace the old 87 that crapped out on us, and depending on how much the Mustang sells for I may be looking for an early 90s Miata very soon as the new project car.

Is the Mustang just too much upkeep? A Miata seems like it would be a good project car though.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-05-10, 09:32 AM

Basically I would like to get more track experience and eventually build up the project car for competition before I'm an old man, and it's just too damn expensive to do it in a Mustang. Selling it will pay for the new Jeep plus something like a Miata, which you can get for under $3G now. Plus, I can tow something small & light like that with the Cherokee, which you can't do with a heavier car like a Mustang... so pretty much every cost related to having & operating the track car goes down considerably.

Anybody wanna buy a 95 Mustang?

Wow! That is a really nice car man! I went through my I want a 5.0 'stang stage, I think I still have some mustang mags somewheres.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-05-12, 04:04 PM

It can be all yours for the low low price of $8500.

I wish.... no moneys

Plus anything over 170 hp and i'd kill myself.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-05-12, 04:11 PM

Selling it is a real bummer... plus it sucks cause even if I get 8500 out of it, whoever buys it will be getting all of those aftermarket parts at basically 50% off, already installed free of labor. I totalled up retail value on every single part I have on the car and it was disturbing how much money I've sunk into that thing.

Kevin M · 2005-05-12, 04:16 PM

Sucks to hear about it Austin. No chance of making back a little more money by parting out?

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-05-12, 04:23 PM

I could make some more cash parting it out, but honestly I just don't want to have to deal with the hassle of pulling the whole car apart and shipping off a million different pieces. Since I have to get rid of it, I just want it gone quickly so I can move on to something else.

sybir · 2005-05-12, 05:41 PM

Austin, in all seriousness, if you sell this but want to get into a relatively well-prepped GT in the future, DZ down here in Sac has a (96?) GT witha full Griggs Word Challenge suspension on it, cage, etc, that he's perpetually trying to get rid of. Check out http://dzstoys.com/ if you want to look at pics and mods, etc.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-05-12, 05:52 PM

I've actually seen that car before... it wouldn't exactly be my first choice though since it's prepped by one of our main competitors.

If I ever get another Mustang it probably won't be for a long while though... like when I'm retired or something.

sybir · 2005-05-12, 07:52 PM

Yeah, I know, I know
