Sorry I havent been around for a while, Work's had me on the road alot and keeing this house going has been... well lets say fun. Just wanted to update yall. We traded in the 06 GT today... On a 08 Focus, the commute has finally started to put a hurtin on us. I do still have my 99, so I'm not out of stangs yet, but It is still an all Ford house!! I actually like the little car, it's peppy, fun to drive and well equipped. Well thats enough for now.

Here are some quick picks I snapped with the phone earlier. and pardon for the gallery still being under construction...

[sm=jawdrop.gif]was there much of a price difference between2yr old mustang trade-in valueand brand new focus OTD price?
sure it was not an easy decision...[:-][sm=signs003.gif][sm=gears.gif]

OIIIIO

Just curious... why traded the 06 and not the 99?

Prolly couldn't get enough money out of the 99 to do the trade...

Enjoy your new car, that`s always a good feeling. If gas is $4 a gallon this summer you`ll be feeling REALLY good.

EDIT: congrats on your new home!

Gotta do what you gotta do brother...good luck. I know how you feel since I bought my house my mod money has all but disappeared [:@]

Yeah, we actually ended up breaking even on the 06 with payoff,even with 60k on the 06,but we put our tax money down on thefocus. and our payment is only 160 now vs 300, and insurance is cut in half.... 32 mpg and still peppy an handles pretty good too, works for me. Besides, we'll probably buy another new 5spd one come 09 or 10. The 99 is paid for, I paid cash for it new, andI am more sentimentaly attached to that one than I was the 06, and I have put a lot of work into the 99. It'll definatey pay off driving 200 miles a day.

Sorry to hear, but it's good that you still have a Stang.
