Wow! I'd hate to see you when you are offended! Yikes! 
After all this, you actually are telling me: "Not that any of this matters since thread is a year old!" LOL! I guess I'll have to pay more attention to the dates on posts! But isn't it strange that you still somehow needed to jump in and tell me I should not have posted my opinion, how many paragraphs I should write, and when I can use bold type or underlines! I have to wonder what would else you have criticized if it had actually mattered!
Here's a deal for both of us! (in bold print) How about we let it go now and move on, but we agree that neither of us needs tell the other what we can post, how many paragraphs it is allowed to be, or even when we are allowed to use bold type or even underline! Fair enough? How about we let people have different opinions and not be upset by them! Again, I didn't realize my opinion was being offensive and so out of place in this thread! It's a good thing I didn't suggest someone look at a Boss 302 or I'd have to be hunted done and killed! Yikes!
By the way, I looked up your car! Very nice!
I'm done with this and I hope you are too!!

My old man used to say "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Sage advice indeed.

Lol at this after a yr hahaha!
And geez ppl, seriously....
kinda turning into a rant rat race?
Hope y'all have quashed it and no more is said.
(Watch someone will HAVE to say ONE more thing about this lol)
Maybe me pointing that out will for once provoke absolute closure and silence in a forum spat....MAYBE.
Do miracles really happen lol?
Remember, ANYTHING else said...even about NOT talking about it by either side will render my wish gone lolol!

As to your compliment ( I hope), your body and mind get old, but your attitudes don't have to get old if you are willing to keep learning and CHANGING! Too many old people think the same at 70 as they did at 20! That means there's been no growth! Remember that you young "whipper snappers"! Here's another one of the Mustangs I built along the way:

Im going to beat the dead horse here.
As for "reminding" the younger guys on here that they need to be fiscally responsible, that statement seems ridiculous given that we own mustangs to begin with. Fiscally responsible people do not own mustangs. They own cars that are completely about utility like a gas sipping Honda or Toyota that is white with 13" wheels. I personally think that coming on here and asking advice about money is just something that you shouldn't do. If you have to ask someone if you can afford it, then you probably can't to begin with.

I'm fiscally responsible and always have been because I came from a poor single parent family and never inherited anything but a funeral bill. Getting a good education, being sensible and not buying toys I couldn't afford until I could afford them allowed me to have quite a few expensive cars while still raising a family and never being in debt. Not meaning to brag, but just to make the point I could write a check for five new GT 500's without a problem and that is because I've been fiscally responsible and could wait for good things. Many people want everything yesterday and then wonder why they wind up with very little at 65! OK, sermon over!
2. As to your comments on GT 500's, I agree they are King of the Hill! END OF STORY! I DON'T WANT TO INSULT ANYONE'S SHELBY OK? PEACE!
For the record: My Mustang was bought new as a 4.6L GT Premium. My poorly worded post was never to put down GT 500's, or start a debate but just to make the point that a young guy without a lot of bucks could by a clean, low mileage used 4.6 or 5.0L and get a Roush supercharger put on by an authorized Roush dealer and it makes a nice ride until you can put down the cash for a GT 500. My little 4.6L runs 467 HP the way it is set up, and a 5.0L runs 575 HP. Not a GT 500, but not a bad ride! My Mustang got 27.5 MPG from the LA High Desert area to St. George, Utah! Economy and HP ain't bad! It's simply an alternative to winding up with a big payment that some readers may not have been aware of... not an attack on GT 500's! You should own your car, not have it own you when the monthly car payment comes.
Some of my other Mustangs though the years:
