I voiced my opinion to get a v8. I still stand by that and would have gotten the older 2011+ s197 5.0 to get it vs the v6 s550. With that being said anyone out there using their car is a winner in my book. I actually think someone tracking a v6 mustang is much cooler than the guy hard parking a gt/350/500. I also find it ironic that the people picking on his car purchase the most drive literal shit boxes, like you've pointed out multiple times.

This... just.. so much respect. TY

LOVE the new avatar.

going to own it...

Here we go again

i'm down for another 13 pages... feels good to see healthy threads!

Does OP have any other ideas for other cars?

I was talking about the color. And yes it is magnetic metallic.

 

You couldn't get magneride on a mustang until 2018 in anything but a GT350.

 

Congrats.

*hangs head in shame*

Yes, the color is Magnetic *hangs head in shame some more*

Not sure if troll post...but who am I to jump to conclusions?

Wagons are cool... I approve. Why do you wanna give up the truck?

Someone's jealous that his 4 banger is slower than a lady 'stang.

lol, it's a V6.. I at least have 2 more cylinders under there if you look close enough,

Good on ya for at least buying some sort of funcar in your budget and rolling with the punches.

Thanks, it is fun to drive, and was in budget. My body is ready for anything critical to come from anyone

he has been a good sport. kerry in the back ground. lol

Kerry is Kerry... he let me know from the moment I wanted up to him how he felt. Would not have it any other way. I did not know what he was doing behind me until I saw the video.

Magnetic?

Not sure (honestly)... Did a Google Search and only GT and some of the higher Ecoboost look like they could come with magnetic suspension. But, I have learned to not trust some sites... I will have to look deeper into the car some more.

Stayed within budget and happy with the car? If so, I'm happy for you.

Yes and Yes. I am VERY happy with the car. It's a lot longer and wider than the 8, and I am still getting used to things. But I am allll smiles to move on.

tell us what you fuckin bought you cunt

 

 

i'd rather shit in my hands and clap then wait for some big disappointing reveal

2016 Mustang V6 MT... Happy?... could have just PMed me, No need to clap yo poop

More ironing. Make one joke in a mod/admins thread and you get removed or it gets shut down. Mods/admins shitpost everywhere and refuse to honor OP's request. CR should be better since 2001.

10/10 thread. Did lol. Would read again. I heart CR.

 

Honestly.. at this point, I should not be surprised, But I really think the discussion is over (based off the original post title)... The only reason to keep this thread going at this point, is to see the shit show keep piling up. Kerry is no longer participating from what I can see and Sammy is...well.. Sammy

Meh... this is getting out of hand... The car is being purchased tomorrow.

Admin can lock it up at anytime.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. This was far more fun than I thought it would be going car shopping.

Big Shout out to those who gave great suggestions and even offered their own cars for sale. I did actually help in the process and made me look at cars I never thought I would consider.

Well, you're surrounded on the line here by egotistical dicks.

But you guys are MY egotistical dicks... and I love all of you.

Dude it's the midwest. Asking people to be rude to your face is like asking them not to root for ohio state, or not call it pop, or not fuck their sheep, or not say ope. Ain't gonna happen.

it's a stick. I'm not buying an automatic anything. I can tell you that much. there are plenty of things I plan on doing with this car down the road.

I can understand having driven the V8 and then driving the V6... I get it... but... I will say that the V6 is no slouch when it comes to acceleration. Now, Mind you....V8 all the way. But the V6 is making good power and is punchy.

hmmm... so did I go for old GT? or new V6? dunno... we will find out when I change my sig and post pics.

He's going to show up at cars and coffee with a v6 something (probably moosetank and autolol too) and everyone is going to shake his hand and tell him congratulations and then talk endless trash behind his back esp in light of this thread.

um...honestly... I don't want this.... um...Small PSA, if you don't like the car I buy... please feel free to tell me directly. Im not afraid of flak, but you all are my friends and family... so... not like I have to ask this, but just be honest if you don't like it. What I am buying has room for improvement in the future and I am purchasing what I am because it is reliable, fits the budget, and is fun to drive. I don't need an egotistical dick stroked... I love this community to much for shit like that... anyways. I'll post pics once the keys are in my hand.

Maybe he bought an actual pony? I mean it would be inline with an Rx-8 as far as impractical transportation decisions go.

Even after I get ride of the RX-8... im still going to get RX-8 jokes sent my direction

What's on Saturday?

rolls eyes

HBK, it sounds like you're making this a lot harder than it needs to be.

 

Sorry if I missed it, but why are you limited to just one vehicle? What's your current living status....do you own a house? Rent an apartment? Living with parents? Any roommates, wife, kids? Not here to judge, I'm just trying to help.

9 pages in feels like more attention than i actually expected this to get. I honestly thought it would be "LOLZ Rx-8 DeAd, LuLz RoTaRy Iz Baaaaad"... but there have been a LOT of great suggestions in this thread... more cars then I actually considered.

I think the reason this "looks" like im making it hard, is because im more vocal than most. I'm taking a lot of time to read what people post and actually get excited to read, but I think im a little "too" vocal about how I feel about different cars. If anyone is reading this and stuck it out... im not trying to sound insulting for your suggestions... I just like the conversation. My issue is that I treat CR like a real life conversation and sometimes the context is lost.

Deep Breath...

Yes, I own a condo and pay a mortgage. Ashley (my fiancée) lives with me. We both have full time jobs and make ~$40k each. We have no children, no current car payment...and a ass load of college debt.

Does this answer your question? or you want more info.

Paging ShowHBK...

added to my list. I will keep this in mind

You missed the days of Gabe and Phil. They would have been all over this thread like stink on shit, it would have ended up in the kitchen 10 years ago.

oof... good thing the same 7 people post on CR these days. Not like new people are joining fast.

That was meant to be a joke... just throwing it out there.

Maybe get an old pickup truck? Something useful that you could even keep when you do get the next "dream car"?

Kevan has suggested this to me a few times... I have someone who wants to sell my a 1997 Dodge Ram pickup with a busted trans for $400. used trans and I rebuild kit would be ~$2000 and the transfer case seems to be intact.

Only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is the potential reliability of the car overall. I need something that will start every morning and not fail me, thats where i'm at. Any doubt that the car will start scares me away from doing the truck. But yea... I will keep this in mind for sure. I would love to stash some money away for the Mustang I want. :thumbup:

you are a female.

this is what happens when you don't fully read shit... don't be like this guy folks... also...GFY ass hat

-9 pages

-CR delivers multiple suggestions based on your feedback and your budget

-CRs most respected member offers one of the best available examples of a top suggestion

-You have somehow gotten nearly everyone to agree with Kerry

-Your reasoning for not liking any of the suggestions is now “emotional”

-You mentioned being 28 and acted like a C5 would be an accomplishment at your age

 

I’m going to guess that your budget is actually half of what you state, and/or you are a female. Enjoy your Lincoln MKZ.

Complete misunderstanding ensues.... ok ok ok....

WE ARE IN FULL STOP RIGHT NOW

What do I need to clear up?

Im pulling the fucking brakes on this thread because this reply could not be any more incorrect from how I fell.

What would you like me to explain?

and a) think it is not "Challenge Accepted"; and b) whine about being disrespected? dude, man up already.

I knew you would read it...

So you are going to drive the cars then?

 

 

 

Did you drive one?

JFC you are a moron. I'm done with this.

???

- asks me to rank cars... based off opinionated looks/aesthetics

- I rank the cars based off my opinion

- Gets called a moron for my opinion

CR at its finest folks!

Quick test: Put these cars in order of how emotional they make you feel, or how likely you are to walk into a gas station and turn around just to see how good it looks.

 

BRZ/FRS

Mustang

GTI

Miata

C5 Corvette

Ferrari 458

oh... imma fail this shit REAL fast...

1. C5 Corvette
   
2. S550 Mustang
   
3. ND Miata
   
4. BRZ/FRS
   
5. GTI
   
6. Ferrari 458
   

The C5 would win on the looks department. Pop up headlights and a sleek body are all I need to keep my eyes from looking away. I've always loved Corvettes, but the C3 is my all time favorite. the 1969 ZL1 is (in my mind) the only time they actually made a car look like a stingray. S550 Mustang is the best mustang body if you want to pretend you have a european sports car... The S197 has more of the MUSCLE CAR, kinda vibe... I dig it and would love either of them. The rest of the list I would take it or leave it... I did not put the Ferrari at the bottom because im being ignorant... Idk why, but if I had THAT much money... I feel like I would be numb after a while to the number of nice cars I would see, much like a feel now about unboxing the 1000th fucking computer in a shipment. I love tech and love unboxing tech...but after so much, you get numb.
