I've been so freaking busy lately, that I just havent had time to thoroughly check the boards. I feel so bad, like I'm missing stuff and that I cant catch up!! The cats occupy a lot of my time and I spent most of the weekend buying a new car.

I LOVE my 88 Mustang but its just costing me too much money, breaking down all the time, getting old, and getting a LOT of miles on it
So I decided to upgrade to a 98 Mustang.

I really like it
It's such a difference to drive a car that's 10 years newer than mine, and I have been driving mine for 9 years!











Anyway! I'm sure when I go to work tomorrow I will have plenty of time to catch up

Very cute!!!! I loveeeee the color!!!!!!

Hubby won't upgrade past a 1995 because they have a 4.6 instead of a 5.0
don't ask my how i remembered that!!! I don't see what kind of a difference .4 is going to make put what do I know!!

Do you like the way it rides? I remember when we had the 1995 cobra it felt soooooo different form the 87, and the inside looks soooo different!

Very nice Sicy! I've always loved the newer style Mustangs...but the insurance on those are outrageous! Maybe someday I'll get one!

Princess Purr, dont tell hubby but this is a V-6
I decided to go for a slower Mustang just because gas is so insane, the amount I spend on my 88 is enough to make me go broke
Plus, insurance. It isnt that much higher than my 88.. since this is only a V-6 and its a Coupe not a GT


This is a neighborhood near my parents house where I lived most of my life. It's a nice background so I decided to use it for the pics
My parents live about 15 minutes from me.

California is beautiful, if I could I would invite you all for a visit and a ride!

Oh and yes it feels SO different than my 88. It's going to take a while to get used to. It's so quiet, and so smooth.. my 88 is SO LOUD!! I love it. *sigh* I am going to miss that car

I had a 97, white with black interior. I have had 2 65's and a 1970 and an 86 Convertible. I'm waiting for the 2005's before I start begging for another one. Love them.

I really cant "afford" a new car, but its do-able girl. I am only paying $170 a month payments for a 5 year plan, with 7% interest and a 2 year warranty.

It's costing me more to fix my old car...

I believe that triple rate for stickers is effective for the entire state. I live in Los Angeles, and I've been hearing all the car dealerships on the radio, telling people to get out there and get their new cars BEFORE Oct 1st to avoid this years triple sticker price. However, I don't know if it's the same situations with a used car. I know I'm not looking forward to getting my 2005 Stickers. I know it's going to go UP.

Sicy, it looks like you got your beautiful blue car just in time.
