Resonating Reticular
I have a '98 V6 Mustang. Graduation's coming up, so I might get some money, and I was wondering what I should do. I wanted a Bike, bu after fighting with EVERYONE, I decided it's not worth the head ache.
Option 1) Fix my Mustang up a bit more. [The hood and bumper are messed up. Bumper just needs a respray, the hood needs a new fiberglass job] and install a T-5 manual transmission
Pros: I get to keep my audio stuff in there and there's no hassle of trying to sell it. (But, mechanically speaking, it's in great condition for being ten years old //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif. Engine starts on cue, no leaks of any sort. Solid block. Only thing going wrong is the O2 sensors that are 10 years old. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif)
Cons: It's mad slow and wastes too much gas than what it's worth.
Option 2) Sell my Mustang and get a Newer one (99+) and make that bish fast!
Pros: New Mustangs look pretty and are also faster. [i'm staying with a V6 for insurance reasons... $$$] This also allows me to get a manual with out the work.
Cons: I have to re-start my audio conquest. It opens up to a bad engine. I know my engine is rock solid right now and trust it to drive me to Alaska and back. [i trust it 'cause I more or less rebuilt it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif] I'd have to sell my current car, which is a bish.
Option 3) Sell my POS Mustang and get some sort of JDM car (It just has to be manual. I'm bored with automatic!)
Pros: A quick little toy car. Lots of parts to choose from. (I'd probably get a 240sx if I do this option). Most JDM cars get pretty decent MPG when well maintained.
Cons: Same as the 'New Mustang', the engine may be a POS and I'd have to re-start my audio trek. Most JDM cars are ragged on. [Then again: so are Mustangs]
Option 4) Don't do anything to your car and save it. 401K niakkuh!
Pros: extra money in the future.
Cons: I have to stay with my automatic turtle. No fun now.
