I am so excited.

[texas1928]

I finally have enough for a down payment, and with my companies discount I am only going to have to pay 269 bucks over MSRP, and this baby right here is going to be mine.

[RetroLounge]

1. Have you seen the 2007 Shelby Cobra?

YOWSA!!!!

500 hp from the factory with a blower!

[texas1928]

2. I don't have that kind of cash.

I am just going to finally have my mustang. I have always wanted one.

[RetroLounge]

7. Me neither, but I can drool...

RL

[texas1928]

8. Yeah I love the Shelby's but...

Could never afford one, unless I become fabulously rich.

[RetroLounge]

29. "fabulously rich"

Well, you're already Fabulous, so you're half-way there!

:D:D:D:D:hi:

RL

[texas1928]

34. Well I think you are Fabulous too.

:hi:

[Huckebein the Raven]

18. I've seen it

*is drooling*

[RetroLounge]

30. It's the cover story in this months Hot Rod Magazine

:drool:

RL

[GOPisEvil]

3. Sweet!

269 over MSRP though? That seems like not the best deal you could make. :shrug:

[n2mark]

6. Congratulations!

Just before I retired I bought my dream car, probably could have bought a cheaper car, a better deal, but this was my dream car. All I can say is enjoy!!!! I am happy for you.

There is a time in life when we just need to give ourselves something that we want. We deserve it.

[texas1928]

10. Well this is not my complete dream car but it is close.

I just want a new car. I have always bought used, and I want one no one has never driven before.

[texas1928]

11. It would be hard to get them to go below that.

THis is a hot car on the market. 19,770 is MSRP.

[Floogeldy]

4. Buying a new car is a total waste of money . . .

. . . unless you have a million dollars in the bank and can pay cash.

Otherwise, you are going to throw away much more than $10,000, plus interest.

What are you looking for, an alleged chick magnet, or transportation?

[texas1928]

5. Well I did not ask for an opinion.

nevermind I will just put you on ignore.

[n2mark]

9. Why do you people

have to be so negative? Why can't you just be happy this person bought something that was on a dream list. What is wrong with you?

I am tired of all the negative in this world and I have just about had it!

[DS1]

12. Buying a new car is the best thing ever

People that say otherwise probably haven't done it.

Take it from me, hammering the throttle down on the first car that I ever owned which had more than 200 horses - and was brand new - was fucking awesome

Plus, it smelled new for weeks, shit I didn't even fart in it without the windows down. Whenever I'd walk passed a window that looked out on the driveway I'd stop and admire my green monster. I'd wash it, give it super primo oil. Good times, man, good times.

Now I'm a broke ass college student, the car's got dents on it that need fixing, the sunroof leaks, one of the tires has a slow leak, the shocks are shot all the way around, the stereo stopped working. But after 9 years, all of this is mostly cosmetic and waiting for me to have a real damn job again. But when I get a real damn job I'll probably sell this car, and some chump is gonna buy it after the dealership pretties it up. But you're not gonna be that chump, you're gonna have a spiff new car that's gonna be in your driveway waiting for you to come back out so you can both learn how fast it can go early one morning on an empty highway ;-)

[texas1928]

16. Oh trust me.

This will be my baby. I am going to love this car. I know that makes me sound possesive, and flaunting possesions, but damn I have worked hard to get here and I am going to buy it.

[DS1]

17. Fuckin.. A

:toast:

[radwriter0555]

28. Yes, it is.. only in the USA do people fall for the car co BS about

a car being an 'investment'..

It's the only time where someone will pay $25,000 for a car, then add on $10K in interest, and the moment it's driven off the lot, it loses almost half it's value... and by the time they're done paying for it, it's worth 1/10th of what they paid for it, yet they're PROUD to "own" it something that's literally worthless for which they paid 3 times the value.

Fascinating how the car cos have us snookered, isn't it?

[DS1]

32. Remind to never invite any DUers to my birthday parties

You'll probably point out what a waste candles are, since they're instantly unsaleable once they've been lit once.

fer chrissake :eyes:

[texas1928]

35. I do not let them get to me.

I mean come on any vehicle you buy loses value, but not like he says it does. And if you take care of it, it will hold more of its value. I am tired of owning cars that someone else has already ran half the value off of it. I want a new car. And a nice car. I am not buying a status symbol, I am buying a car that I told myself I would buy when I was a point that I can afford it. I am at that point now.

But I just put people like this on ignore and go on.

[radwriter0555]

38. a .25c candle isn't quite as financially imprudent as a $50K car that

will be worth nothing within 12 years.

:)

[DS1]

42. How's the view up there?

I've never been on a 50 foot tall horse before

[purr]

13. Details please!!

I'm so excited for you.. actually, more like jealous of you :) I LOVE the new style.

Whats the color/options/etc? Post pics when you get it :)

[texas1928]

14. That is the car.

It is on the dealers lot right now. Performance white clearcoat. I have had three dark colored cars and am tired of burning the peewaddly out of myself when I touch it in the summer. It will have Charcoal gray cloth interior, 5 speed automatic transmission, I am not dolling out on the extras. Just the factory on the rest.

[Huckebein the Raven]

15. Are you getting a GT ?

What color ?

Congrats on the new car. The new Mustangs looks very nice

:)

[texas1928]

19. Nah

do not want the GT, just getting a V6. Helps on the insurance to not go with the GT. People like to steal the GTs. I just want a little kick, if I had the GT, I would spend a lot on speeding tickets.

[Huckebein the Raven]

20. Yeah I see your point. Again, congrats on the new Mustang

:)

[texas1928]

21. Oh and it is Performance white

Forgot to out that in.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Hi, tex,

I'm happy for you! I'm so pleased that you're getting to do something that you've always wanted to do! ENJOY!

:toast:

[texas1928]

23. Oh I plan to.

I will be taking a road trip after I get the hand controls on it. I will be posting pics when I get it. I can not wait, need to go talk to the dealer and and setup the payments.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Road trips are so much fun! Will you and your wife both go?

And do you have an itinerary yet? My husband and I have done a couple of road trips, and once we figured out how to manage who did what during the driving, we had FUN! I'm sure you will also...

:toast:

[texas1928]

26. Well my wife would kill me if I left her here.

But we will pobably go down to San Antonio and to my home town to visit the parents.

[Floogeldy]

25. Have you checked the Consumer Reports info on that car?

Might be a good thing in which to look.

B-)

[DS1]

27. why are you being such a douchebag about this?

Or is someone else enjoying a piece of life too much for you to handle?

[texas1928]

36. Oh is he still being a killjoy.

Well I can not see what it says, he is ignored.

[Bridget Burke]

31. I'm one of the folks who spends more money on books than cars....

& even ride Metro to work.

But I congratulate you. And thanks for not cluttering up the roads with another ugly SUV.

[texas1928]

33. I have no use for an SUV.

I would buy a pickup before I bought an SUV. But I do not want a pickup, right now. I have never seen why you would need an SUV to run around town. I do not remember having to drive over all terrain going to the quicky mart.

[sundog]

37. right on man

congrats :toast:

[Debi]

39. And what color will it be?

Fossill?

[texas1928]

43. Nope Performance white.

Just like the car in my orginal thread.

[Misunderestimator]

40. Thanks for the earworm... I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control,

and I think I like it. :crazy:

[Hand]
