Going backwards...11 to 08.
Yep, I did what many will not agree with. We sold our 11 GT/CS manual with 19,000 miles on it and bought an 08 GT Vert auto with 17,000 miles. Both cars pretty much stock. Even banked some left over cash as nothing was financed.
The reason....worn out knees with a manual....desire for another vert....because we can....and at 62, I have owned over 70 vehicles so why slow down now. Plus, just cannot see spending the money they want on new ones anymore.
Not missing the power at all....hard to use on the street...this car was a garage queen, no rain ever, only used on weekends once in a while, one owner....clean as can be.
It is a premium with active security, upgraded to 18's on chrome spokes, IUP, GT appearance, remote start, boot cover, and ambient lighting. No big plans for mods....just a few little ones.
....so we are stuck with the choice of one of these or....
....our 2000 Lightning.....such decisions....
