Default I can't believe my car is already 7 years old! I am calling Automobiles Anonymous

People are already ordering 2014's and I just ordered my new heads.

I drove it 3k miles in 2 years lol.

Anyone else feel like they put too much work into the car and need help???

LOL! You know I feel the same way! Have never held on to a car this long and not drove it, 500 miles in the last year tops, did take it for a quick spin Sunday (about 10 minutes total drive time)

Nah, It's only a problem when you admit to it. I've kept track of the dollars I am into my car, and it makes no logical sense other than I can never get rid of this car.

It's an addiction of sorts but it's more passion then anything. As long as there is an aftermarket part that we don't have, how can we stop until we have it?

Thats it right there. There is always another mod I just gotta buy and install. Hell I ordered new headlight bulbs the other night. They were $13 and the stockers suck, so what the hell.

New 2013's are amazing but mine is quite fast, has won several trophies at the track and is my first mustang. The new one will just be new. I love my old car and all its dings and scratches.......its my first.

I just put the car together with a new 6 speed magnum and modified intake plenum and methanol kit to take it all apart again to put in a new long block.

Just when I though I was done I forgot to order my new cams lol! Ok, so now $13,600 for this new engine lol.

I better toast any new stock shelby out there!

Wow, I can't believe how little milage some of you guys have on your stangs. My DD is a dept issued cruiser which I get to take home. During the spring,summer and fall my wife and I are on our motorcycles. We have a 07 PT cruiser that the wife drives to work. and yet I still put 15,840 miles on my 11 mustang GT which I've had for two years.

Man, with a car like that, I would drive at least 5-6000 miles a year. I thought my 300 miles a month was low. Good Lord!

I'm in the same boat. I bought my car brand new in March 2006 and I just hit 12,000 miles. Of those miles, only about a thousand were put on in the last two years.
