Default No Car.. it's on it's way to OK

Yup.. sold it last night.. kid flew in from OK and I picked him up from Manhattan, extra parts were loaded in the trunk, and bah-bye!

I left the XM Satellite on for them for the LONG ride home.. then I will disconnect it when there;re home.

Next car will be naturally fast, and stay stock down to the factory air filter.

At least you are nice enough to leave it on for the trip home.

Well good luck with the next one B

I'm a lot younger than you, and completely understand what you're thinking.

My next car will be fast off the floor, paid off in cash, and also not modified (although it's not like my current one has all that much done to it.)

If you don't take regular trips to the track, then having an all-around nice car to cruise around in and enjoy is where the fun is. Less headaches that way, too.

Pick up an '03/'04 Cobra. Get a pulley, cold-air, and tuning. Be done with it. Even without exhaust you'll be in he 430 RWHP range and it will be stone quiet and reliable.

I think that would probably be your best bet...If memory serves, didn't you almost buy an '03 before picking up the GT?
