My New Car!!!

[Jade Tigress]

I am so hyped. You all know about the car I wanted from my license plate thread. Well, I am picking it up Tuesday night!!! (would be getting it tomorrow except I have Kung Fu and won't miss class even for that..lol)

This is how it worked out. When we moved my husband was given a company car. We have been trying to sell his truck without success. My car still has a year left of payments too. So, we had 2 car payments and one of them we were paying on did nothing but sit in the driveway with the Tennesee plate still on it.

My husband just bought a new Harley so I thought I'd have to wait on my car until we got his truck sold and mine paid off.

However, since we were having problems selling the truck we looked into tradiing both our vehicles in on a new Mustang GT Premium and were able to eliminate both car payments in exchange for one lower payment than what we were putting out every month on the two we had.

Brand new '06, loaded, V8, hardtop, manual 5 speed (my choice, had to have a stick on a car like this). Black with black leather. 500 Shaker stereo system...the list goes on.

This first thing we will do is get the windows tinted so it's all blacked out. Hopefully that will be done within a week or two. Need to find a good place around here for it.

Also, I have to try to find a way to see if my personal license plate choices are available. I tried a search but couldn't find anything yet. If anyone knows how I can check please let me know. I lost the personal plate I had on my Accord when we moved because it was taken...they don't tell you, they just send a regular plate. I don't want that to happen again.

Anyway, to say I'm a little excited would be putting it mildly!

I will post pics when I get it!

Congrats!!!artyon:

Please post some pics when you get the car!:ultracool As for the plates, you may want to check with DMV. I'm sure they can tell if the plate you're looking for is available.

Sounds great - especially compared to my '94 Sentra... on the other hand, it's paid for, the insurance and tax are cheap, it gets 30 mpg, and it runs great.

True, true.

My first 2 cars were V8's. (a buick regal and cutlass salon)
Then you couldn't get a V8 anywhere. So my next 2 cars were 4 cylinders, (ford escort and nissan altima) and my current car is a 6 cylinder vtek (honda accord).

But I have always missed that power and rumble. Plus I tend to like a loud, full sound in a stereo. I have always loved muscle cars but unfortunately my husband is not mechanically inclined..so we wouldn't be able to keep a classic going. So, this is a dream come true.

But, I guess you gotta pay to play..and we're coming out ahead overall.

You can be sure I'll put pics up.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice! It'll definitely run circles around my little 2001 VW Golf. :uhyeah:

Can't wait to see the pics!!

 

[matt.m]

Nice, my wife wants a mustang. I don't want a higher insurance premium. She is a lead foot. I cannot wait to see pictures.

 

[Rich Parsons]

We need some pictures! Of the car that is.

Congrats! Sounds like a great car. My brother in law is getting ready to buy almost the same car. I thought he said that a 6spd was an option, but I could have misheard him.

I wish I could... but I really don't want a car payment - it's really just sour grapes on my part at this point. Enjoy!

Nope. No 6 speed.

You'll get pictures! (of the car)

I don't want a higher insurance premium. She is a lead foot.

heehee..I'm a lead foot too..I'll be careful though. Fortunately with my age, being a woman, and not having to drive to work everyday, that should help with the insurance. Also, since we are able to dump my husbands truck we also lose that insurance payment as well. So, all should be good.

I wish I could... but I really don't want a car payment - it's really just sour grapes on my part at this point. Enjoy!

Oh I understand completely. It would suck to have to start making a car payment when you don't already have one. As it is our new payment is lower than what we're currently paying for on 2 cars so it works out fine. Thank God!!!

Cool!!!!!! That is a sweet ride!

WOOT!

Welcome to the world of Mustang!
(Not that I'm biased or anything...see gallery)

So anyway, not that I've said anything, but I have your upgrades all mapped out for you. No, no. Don't thank me!

The 3 valve 4.6 is a workhorse that was built to be modified. Off the lot, she's a bit of a tamed pig as is to be expected, but with just a little tweaking, we have a 13 second car that'll be more than a match for your average LS2. Just let me know when you're ready. I'll hook ya up with one of the best tuners in the country.

OOoooooo...I did check out the gallery. Sweet!

Thank you. Thank you. I will definitely be hitting you up for that when I'm ready.

Heh heh. We had a block party on Saturday and a lot of cops come out as a community service. We had motorcycle cops, the DARE cop, a squad car...they were very cool, letting the kids play with the PA and honk the horn and stuff. Anyway, I made sure I did plenty of schmoozing with them all.

reminds me of my neighborhood cops when someone calls on my neighbors for being too loud. the cops come in, enter the party, stay for an hour or too and nothing happens!

 

[someguy]

Sounds like a nice car....
Nothing compared to my 96' avalon. Missing a side mirror. Needs a brake light replaced. Radiator is suposed to be flushed. The list goes on and on. Wait I shouldn't list those...(none of it is my fault(honestly(really(seriously)))
But seriously that sounds like a great car. I'm jelous. Or an I envious?
