Love the one you're with...
I have a horrible affliction...I cant seem to hold onto a car, any car, for more than 6 months. I dont know if its car addiction, boredom or what. How do you do it? There are so many cars out there I want to drive! I know its a horrible financial decision!
I recently posted for advice on a new car...thing is, I have a 2012 Ford Mustang V6 manual with performance package. Its a perfectly adequate car. Should I focus on customizing this car, or just give in and go for a cheaper used car, so I can keep my addiction going. Help me!!!

hp is not the only thing to consider. the older gt will still out run the new 6. and it won't throw a drive shaft if you take it above 120.......... oh and that v8 rumble sounds so so sexy.
not knocking the new 6, its a great engine and it makes the new v6 mustang a pretty quick car........and yes its close to the old v8, but still not on par yet in stock form. it doesn't have the torque the 4.6 has.

Taking it out for a test drive or renting one is a good idea. I can't see how people get new cars every 6 months...they must have money coming out their a$$..

if you're not satisfied, then sell and move on.
nothing wrong with that. its not like you're married to your car.
when you do find a special car, you will know, and you will want to keep it for a long time.
when i get bored, i mod more. make it faster, louder, better.
when it doesn't scare me anymore, time to make it faster!
