To the OP-
All and all i think its rough to buy a new car and have those types of issues im sure it was not cheap. I wish you luck.
To the kids needing jobs-
Well kinda OT at this point but i hire/fire people as i am a manager of a Subway. GPA really is not something we look to first. Dress nicely when applying, apply in person, not online or anything, bring your own pen, be polite and for heavens sake drive yourself and do not bring your parents with you. Also read applications carefully and follow directions. We hire around my store based on appearance and first impressions mostly. It important to look like you can stand on your own and be an adult if your young. Hiring someone who has been coddled and nursed their whole life is not ideal in the food industry and we have huge stacks of applications these days, easily 5 times as many as we did 3 years ago and its important, but easy, to stand out. Just really get out there and TRY, and really try hard.

That's what you say now. If you were to somehow magically get a cosign, I'd bet real money that you'd be crying the same story about this time next year, except that it's be your new GT that wasn't fast enough/powerful enough any more and you'd need somebody's 700 hp version.
I hope that means you're starting to develop a sense of relative value. But I won't be holding my breath. Let's just say that you've managed to establish a fairly strong image of yourself.
It's discouraging to keep hearing about how a car that was apparently good enough for you once no longer meets whatever drives you or what you think you need for image purposes.
I'd be ashamed to admit even to myself that my satisfaction with my car choices was so short-lived. Let alone continually moan about it publicly.
GROW UP.

The 2011 GT500 is not worth the $. It's not a whole lot faster than the 2011 5.0 for the amount you're are spending. The ZR1 is a totally different car than any Mustang. I am not a multi millionaire and could never imagine spending that kind of cash on a car you can't even use on the street properly.
