so i sold my lil red last week. guy gave me good money for it so i couldn't pass it up.. i know it only needed a weekend to really get it road worthy but its been all summer and i haven't gotten a chance to do it so just sat and sat... what i decided when jamie asked if i really wanted to sell it was that i'm not wanting any projects anymore. at this point anyway.. i want to tinker not work on these damn things. if that makes any sense.. i think the dart just wore me out. now that the dart is running, driving and steering like it should i really don't want to work on anything anymore.. i want to go start it up and enjoy it and maybe tinker a little here and there and keep it looking good... maybe its a mid life crisis or something. who knows.. i know with rylee getting older and involved in more sports and school activities along with us trying to travel as much as possible in the summer months that i have less and less time to do this stuff..
what i finally decided is that i wanted something modern. as most know i have wanted a mustang for years.. pretty much since 2005 when the S197 body style came out... so that's what we did.. went looking at mustangs... i was really looking for a convertible but the more of them you looked at the worse they were.. i can't believe how poorly people take care of pricey vehicles... so i stumbled onto the one i eventually bought.. its a 2008 hard top but i got it off the original owner. its 100% stock down to the original tires. totally unmolested... the car only has 7400 miles so this damn thing is like brand new. i did pay good money for it but sure not out of line for what it is compared to the junk i had looked at for not much less. i love the color combo, seats are very comfortable, it shifts like new, runs like new stops like new and steers like new... the previous owner never drove it at night and it was only caught in the rain twice. when not is use it just sat under a cover in his garage.. the only ***** now is that DMV is by appt only right now because of covid and the earliest appt i could get was nov 20th... so i have to wait that damn long to go out and blast this ***** around some... next is selling the cutlass.. i like the car but want to get down to just the dart and mustang. plus if i sell the cutlass i can replenish some of our savings i used for the mustang..
hopefully its a good car and hopefully i don't get bored too fast of it..lol it really is a sweet looking car in my opinion... the more i look at it the more i like it...
