i'm 20 and with my mom paying for my gas, i regulate how hard i drive and i limit how many wot passes. so i'm constantly gauging my instant mpg and average mpg to get it as high as possible.

if my mom were to see that i got a full tank of gas every 3-4 days, she'd probably flip.

only advice i can give you is, keep the car, give it some gas every now and then, but remember it is also a tool to get you from a to b...just a LOT QUICKER. LOL

I think it's awesome you're a little older and wiser, and still know how to get down on it........

Getting older doesn't mean you don't have any fun........it just means you know the right way to do it~!

Good for you, Dude~! s ~

Roger that. I have to drive the Cherokee when I get too comfortable with the power of the Mustang.

i hada 84,86 and a 89 gt back in my younger days and nevercould control myself. so at 45 i bought a 07 gt thinking i would be better, so wrong. dont want to sell this stang, any tips on self control.
Nope, I got the same problem at 42, I am like a crazy high school kid when I get in my 05 GT.....[8D]

High school kids, please don't take offense... just be careful.
