Default Traded the Stang in Saturday

Well I hated to do it but the stang is gone. After getting the transmission rebuilt and it still shifted like $hit I had no other choice. Ford would not honor there work so I got a 2005 celica GTS because of the gas prices. It is a cool little car but no Mustang as far as power goes. I will still post here from time to time but now I have to mod the celica to see what it's got. I already have the TRD exhaust but turbo will come soon. Thanks for all of the advice I received from everyone here, it helped alot. Good luck to you all.

Very sad. Celica's were always neat cars though. I'm sorry to hear about your transmission problems. I can imagine the frustration you went through!

There's Ford for ya!

ricer! that sucks bro. I had a similiar experience with Dodge, I bought two new trucks from them and i got screwed each time. I dont blame you. Maybe someday you will come back. Do you have your giant wing and ill-fitting body kit on order yet?

No giant wings or body kits for me....just performance mods. I got $15,000 for the Stang with 74,000 miles and a $hitty transmission. The celica came with the TRD exhaust and it is pretty quiet not ricey sounding. In a year or so i'm probobly gonna get a new stang with a full factory warranty when the ill feelings toward Ford wears off.
