Not new to the forums.. but potentially a "once again" owner
Hi guys,
Been a while since I've posted.. mostly because I ended up selling my mustang about two years back. It was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make so far and came with a lot of regret but at the time I felt it was the right one to make.
Anyways, my (new) wife and I were discussing refinishing the basement in our house. I had thought about putting in a movie room and having a nice place for our on-the-way child to play in the future. Then she threw me a curveball. Instead of finishing the basement, she said she wouldn't mind if I got another mustang since she knows how much I miss my old one. She doesn't really care much about having a finished basement (yet).
I actually stopped by a dealer today just to look at the "new" style (compared to my previous 07). Aside from not being approached once by a salesmen, I noticed that it felt "right" sitting in one again. Unfortunately, then I realized that it would probably at least twice the cost of a basement and have a limited life.
The basement wouldn't happen until at least summer 2013 and I'd be doing the bulk of it myself.. while the mustang probably wouldn't happen until 2014.
I may be asking people with a huge bias in favor of the mustang but.. what would you do?
