Maybe its time for all of us to head over to the dealership and see what we can get on a trade, apparently we wasted money modding these cars and dont drive em and we need something practical!!!!

5. How many miles do you put on your mustang yearly? Subjective question. Also take into account winter climates if you store your car or park it for winter.

If you do not do all of the above than CLEARLY it was totally pointless to put money into your car as its impractical.
DISCUSS!!!!
I daily drive my car
Last year, with me being out of the country for 3 months, I still put over 12k miles on my car.
I drive on my track setup every day. Not drag slicks, but stil comp tires for auto-x.
See last answer
I put between 12-15k miles/year on my car. Bought it 6 years ago with 90k, and it now has over 150k, and that includes 6 months with my permit, a full year and a half in high school, and the past 4 years in college.

My car is practically used every day. Suck it.

"Wait Kerns you're going to buy another mustang? What are you going to do with your current car?"
