Default New from PA and wanting a play car

First post. Introducing myself.

I'm 43 and while most feel it's probably a midlife crisis I like to think of it as being able to financially do it and enjoy it. I just started looking around for a Mustang as a once in awhile driver. I drove myself crazy over the past few weeks trying to decide what I wanted, a DD or a play car and I came to the realization that I want a play car. I want it to be a treat to roll it out of the garage and drive it around(I'm sure there are plenty of people who do enjoy it everyday and I may too but for now I want it to be a weekend in the nice weather car/experience).

All that being said.....Hello.........I have many questions to ask in the technical forums.

Where in PA you from? After 40 years of missing my first mustang, I purchased a 2006 last year. I use it as a play car and I love it. Good luck in your search.

Thanks all. To answer the questions asked I am from Red Lion which is just a little south of York.

For body style I am leaning convertible but I do love the look of the coupe. At this point I am kind of open to either. My plan is to try and stay around $10k and then mod as I go. I know that is going to be tough because I will either need to get one with over 100k miles or get a base GT model from 05-06 with 75k miles or so. Which is what I hope to find. A no option car with half decent miles then put money into it as I go.
