RE: What was your last car and y did you get rid of it??
Mine was a 97 SVT Cobra, which I sold for more than I paid for it + the little bit of mods I had done.. I got a sweet deal on it when I bought it.
I miss the car.. I love my current one, but just something about revving all the way to 5k to launch on DR/s with the clutch I had in it.. and stil having 2k rpms to pull before shifting [8D]

i had a 2000 contour svt got rid of it for a 03 focus SVT because the trans sucked and i was sick of rebuilding it.
Then i had the 03 focus SVT and i got rid of this one because i found the cobra i wanted.

I had a 71 Chevelle SS Replica, then a 95 3000 GT. Loved em both. Got rid of the chevelle cause i started going to school and it blew on gas miliage something like 7 MPG. The 3000 GT got abused, and i sold it before the wheels fell off. That car was kinda funny, in the winter it had a small knock when you started it and the synchros acted worn out, but in the summer it was fine. sold it in the summer. My grandfather gave my his 94 probe gt after i sold the 3000, but it just wasnt what i wanted. I'm lovin the stang.

I had a 1977 corvette... sold for 12.5 and then took that money and put a down payment on the mustang....
The stang is a whole 2 seconds faster, doesn't leak through the T-tops, and it isn't starved by poor emmissions BS like my 77 (oil crisis, anyone?) I mean I loved the vette, but it wasn't practical, insurance was too high, and I couldn't put more than 3k on in a year (historic).
I still have my 1993 silverado... but it stays at home... the stang is my DD... better gas, and faster lol

RE: What was your last car and y did you get rid of it??
Brief history my first true car was MY 86 IROC-Z it had been my dream car forever owned it for four yrs and just sold it 6 months ago and is were SITNLO originated many yrs ago. I have kept that car during all the others that have come and gone, I had the Mustang for 2 yrs while still having the camaro and I only put 10k miles on it that whole time and taking care of two cars to bring to shows and not having any enough garage space for both at time made it difficult not to mention awesome clubs like there was for the mustang that werent offered for the Z. I sadly began to lose interest which I thought I never would it had been a ton of fun. All in all I got the Stang itch from my uncle who has owned a 66 mustang since I was born, my grandma used to babysit me and my uncle would comeover to start his car once and a while when I was there, he was now just out of college and storing it there. I also remember all the fox bodys he had and how good they sounded and I just fell in love with the mustang sound and always wanted one even when I had the Z.I have also owned a 97 mx-6 for 6 months 2 ricey , 1992 dodge ram d150 winter beater for 8 months, and currently have my 2001 f-150 supercrew which I have had since new and the Stang in my sig which I have owned for almost 2.5 yrs now and I hope to keep for another 2 yrs or so while I'm saving for a 03-04 Cobra.

Nice Truck!

I had a 98 S-10. Just like the first poster, this truck was a big learning process. I had a ton of fun building it, and regret getting rid of it. I traded it in at a local dealership for my stang. Some kid that works there bought it and I have been talking to him about buying it back ever since he got it, so we'll see what happens when I graduate college in a year. Anyways, I bought the truck bone stock about 2 years before these pics. The truck was the base LS model, I added the Xtreme body kit.

Dont get me wrong though, I LOVE my Stang. Nothing like revvin up at a ricer and seeing his smile disappear as my throaty Borla Stingers drone out his fart machine.
