My dream car
My dream car
I got a new camaro about 6 months ago . Its a coupe, not a drop top. My first new car was a 73 camaro Z-28. Took me 45 years to get another one. We use it as a week end car. Its the v-6 motor, just could not see the extra money to get in a v-8. Its a blast to drive . Acceleration is strong, rides good , corners flat. I got stopped doing 61 in a 45 zone . Cop asked me whats the hurry. Told him I was just an older guy enjoying a sports car. He laughed then let me go.

The wife and I dropped the top today and took a drive. Fun times, but never went over 70 the whole trip, just put everything in sport mode and listen to exhaust notes and AC/DC on some curvy roads
One day people will learn that buying the hyped model of any brand has a re sale that puts you in and out of it for less loss than a econo box. As much as I like arguing with Heed in traffic, I would go with one of the models he posted.
A good many you can sell for 5- 10k less than you bought it for after ten years which don't happen on a econo box.
Same with the Hcat, you won't lose much in Long run on that 60k purchase.
You mean like this one? (made me look...) found it at Murfreesboro Ford. GT Premium, black and tan interior. Thanks, now I'm looking at Mustang ragtops...

"Hope this helps"
I have a couple of convertibles, a '74 MGB I drive daily when the weather permits (I've never put the top up) and a '65 AC Cobra with 289 which gets driven about 25 miles per year, it is part of my retirement portfolio.
I have to agree with this statement in most cases. Although there aren't many vehicles that are "investments" there are certain models you can own and not take too big a hit. I bought this car used in 2010 with 43k miles. Today it has ~80K miles and blue books more than I paid for the car 8 years ago and have put 40k miles on the car. 2003 cobra. One of 302 built in mineral grey.View attachment 945344
Get the Jeep. It's like a big non-gay Miata that's 4wd.
Sometimes you just gotta hit them old back roads and stretch that baby out! That's where the four cylinder nor the six cylinder will get the job done. Why would you take the risk of some little snotty nose punk pulling up beside you for a challenge and all you have is a 4-cylinder or 6 cylinder compared to the V8 that his parents bought?The newer mustang looks great in the dark metallic gray, and the 6cyl make 300, the turbo 4 make 320hp and will stay with the 8cyl to 60 or so. Where can you really use all that power anyway, roads suck and too much traffic
I do not drive the Cobra. It lives in a climate controlled storage unit along with a couple of other cars I have for my retirement. The each get cranked regularly warmed up, oil changed twice per year and driven approximately 25 miles per yr each. Too valuable to have on the road or put miles on.‘65 AC Cobra? Within a week I would be wearing an orange jump suit with a new address st the county hotel. But what a ride!
