I just like how the thread ends, all that complaining for a 6% difference from the estimated...priceless.

Well, the M3 was picked up to help out an old friend from way back and sold the Mustang the day before. SS is gone and so is the Ford GT and so is the wife


Mach was way cheaper than the GT and have always wanted one so....picked one up

One of the worst things I saw was today on TBSSowners.com regarding MPG. A guy with a TBSS wanted to improve his fuel mileage and his idea was to swap in 3.42s from the standard 4.10s and have it tuned for 87. Why buy a performance vehicle if you're just going to remove the performance? If you really want MPG in your hot lookin' whip, swap in a 4 cylinder.

Actually, no. Considering the amount I got from when i sold my small company, it really didn't matter much.
