Default Well, it's almost time to let Sophie go...

Happy Holidays my fellow owners. It is a sad, sad ending to a beautiful saga. I come in and out of the forum to post on the condition of my mustang, because it's driven over 80 miles a day. I have 78K on her, and the wife just won't shut her trap about getting a four door ride. So, it's either a charger, or an infiniti G35 (07). The G35's are sick in the inside and out for under 38K. The charger is sick under the hood, and ok inside. Sophie, well she was just sick. I'll probably have her for another 15 to 20 thousand miles and then I'll send her off. My commute is just too long for her right now (Baltimre, MD to Falls Church, VA everyday. But I will get another one come 2009. I'm just deciding if I should roll her into the refinancing of my house and keep her for weekends, or just let another savy mustang owner keep thoses wheel spinnin.

get the G35, one of my friends has a coupe and it really is a luxury ride compared to the stang or a charger.

Get a Charger R\T...about 75hp less then the SRT8, BUT, it's 50 more then a stang GT, and you get all wheel drive....which is irreplaceable during those winter months.

Look at the Chysler 300 Hemi.... they kick butt and you can get in one for way less than $38000. The G35 is an awesome car.

AGREES WITH 4LITER6. Is this America anymore. Too many Ricers on the roads. Charger. Or the Crown Vic mentioned above.
