and WOW! My order's going in a lot sooner then I planned (probably a month). The salesman beat the out of it first and put the thing sideways out of a gas station, and I was more than welcome to have fun. :D
I also test drove an RX8 today (my not so secret obsession). And as much as I've heard people saying they were terrible, I think they're crazy. The car was awesome, but it didn't quite have enough to win over the mustang. If the 05 wasn't out though, I'd be putting in an order for the RX8. :D
Cool!!!!!!! congratulations!! :bowdown: :bowdown:
Auto or Manual?
Sounds pretty sweet! So, when you gonna come take me for a ride? :)
Are you serious?! :wtf: :screwy:
MANUAL!
So what that in response to his request for a ride? :giggle:
With Dare's luck I wouldn't want him any where near a new car of mine :slap:
LMAO,good point.
I'm still torn with that rx8 though...
Stang'll look just like this:

Thats my Girl! :evilgrin:
Nah, bad things ususaly only happen when I get behind the wheel! :evilgrin: Although I wouldn't ask a guy that was in my class at Ivy Tech, He gave me a ride to Napa on day totaled his Probe!
awesome...so thats what your away message was all about...im so jealous it...can i get a ride in that!
LOL, yep, that's what it was for ;) I wasn't sure between the Windveil blue and mineral gray. Found em both at a dealership side by side and fell for the blue (have a gray car anyway).
Test drive 2 hopefully in OH this week. I'm pretty torn between the 2 cars, so I'm getting second opinions :)
It'd be a little easier if I didn't know I could get a loaded RX8 for about the same price as the loaded GT. It's just convincing them to let me take the GT out knowing I won't be buying it from there that'll be the pain. At least around here, they're being really picky about letting people drive them, luckily I didn't have to argue TOO much.
That's because you're a girl. Girls never have to argue too much with middle aged car salesmen to get what they want. :grinno:
The shear fact that one comes with torque should point you at the Mustang. ;)
Torque wins races. Hp sells Hondas (and unboosted rotaries).
LOL, it's to be a daily driver ;)
More than likely it'll be the stang, just have this soft spot for that rx8...
Crystal that RX8 would have been nothin but headaches. Nicely put, Mazda transmissions suck ass, ask anyone who has any experience with them. A friend of mine bought an RX8 and went through 3 transmissions along with a new engine. I like the body, suspension, and interior of those cars, but the drivetrain blows and Mazda knows it. When he tried to trade in the car, Mazda didnt want it.
They need to put a Ford mod motor in the RX8, then it would be a bad ass ride...
Thanks Ronnie, that's the kind of answer I needed, some sort of experience reply :)
I had a 5speed in my little mazda pickup. That truck sucked balls. the tranny went out on it twice, and that is with a carbed 1982 1.9l inline four. It had the same tranny that the earlier rx7's had.(along with the ranger). It couldnt hold its own against a >100hp inline four. I hated that truck too. Imagine being 6'4" driving a puppiesanese truck. I took that truck to warped tour with a 1 1/2 foot mohawk. Couldnt get out of the ed thing.
LMAO :giggle:
Well, I don't have that problem being 4'10"
My buddy Aaron got a new Mustang GT about a month before we left to Iraq. We went all over Mississippi and Louisiana in it before he had to put it in storage. Wonderful car. I was actually suprised at the ammount of tourqe and the nice rumble from the pipes. I got a real kick out of how you can change the color of the guage lights by pressing a button. He has the Mineral Grey one. He's planning on a kenney bell supercharger for it when we get home.
It's not going to interfere with your t-bird projects is it?
The turbo coupe will be going to a loving new home in OH lol, but no interferance with the sport. All projects there are a go! It'll be so purdy by carlisle :D
Trust me, if my parents wouldn't kill me, the t/c would stay too.
Mine is supposed to be delivered this week. I cant stand the wait! I've already got parts on order.
I rmember you saying you had ordered one, but it seems like it was forever ago. How long did you have to wait?
I'm on week 14. For some reason they are taking forever to get to NY once they are ordered. I've heard other people in other states gettin them in like 10 weeks. I got cloth seats too. Dealer told me leather seats added 4 more weeks for some strange reason. Thankfully I did not want leather.
lol, I've got the hookup, 6 weeks from order date :) Even with leather (so much easier to get dog hair off of leather...)
ive heard stories of ppl spotting a truck carryin mustangs and following them until the dropped there shipmentat a dealer, and bought one before they were even prepped. kinda skeptical about them stories, but there are some crazy ppl here in detroit.
That all we have here in cental IL is leather interiors in the new Mustangs. I have already seen a roush here at a dealer.
Everybody and the grandma already has a new mustang here.
Our dealer here has alot of Mustangs. :bowdown:
Spoke to the dealer today. It's gonna be ANOTHER 2 @#!%$ WEEKS. Im really becoming impatient. The assembly line date was 2/14/05 and he gave me the VIN so I know its close at least.
Here too. They have 15 or 20, in assorted colors, all lined up nice and purty.
