Default Hey everyone, please help a newbie.

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of getting a new car in a few months, and I'm trying to find out if a 1999-2002 Mustang GT would be a good one for me. I'm looking for reliable car that has some good stock power under the hood. I am plaining on upgrading the car, but as you can probably tell I don't know much about all this stuff(yet) and I would only upgrade it over the years as I learn. I'm not looking for somthing that I could push all the time, but I do want to have some fun every now and then Will this car deal with the occasional burn out or am I going to need to pay an arm and a leg every month for repairs? . . . Thank-you very much for the help. Sorry if I asked any dumb questions, I wasn't kidding when I said I'm new, lol.

Yup, sounds like a 2V would do you fine. Quick enough to play with, slow enough to make you always want more
