I find my car lust these days focused quite heavily on Mustangs, more specifically, 2006 - 2011 Mustangs, including a tasty array of few year Cobra GT500s.
Why not classics? I feel like I could turn a wrench on mechanicals, but anything to do with bodywork or interiors intimidates me a bit. And those that don't need that work, like a 1970 Fastback, are over $50K.
Instead I envision some late model versions, high mileage is OK (except the possibility that the clutch is fried); there are tons of bolt on parts for these cars and the prices are in the high teens, low twenty thousand USD region.
The GT500s are more price, low to mid $30s, but man, that kick in the pants is tempting.
So, I'm all talk and no action thus far, a bit like a eunuch in a whorehouse. Why? Because I shouldn't be having these thoughts of dumping my 2011 335d (goodbye large down payment) and buying a Ford Focus and a Mustang in turn.
So for now, afraid that a test drive of even the most basically equipped GT would lead me to do something rash, I'm having to content myself with YouTube videos of various models of Mustangs and how great the Borla exhaust (my first projected bolt on) sounds.
Hmm, sell the boat . . . .???
