BULLWINKLE
so, as you all know i just had my second kid and ive had a lot of time to think and talk with the wife about our future and my upcomming deployment. one of the subjects we discussed was selling the mustang and the pontiac to get a larger SUV which we do need. i was thinking about it and it seemed to be the best decision. it would be easier to store one car while im gone and only have to pay for one.
in the begining the reason i bought the mustang was to share it with the family. have it be a fun daily driver project that was fast, confortable and affordable, but somewhere along the line i forgot about it and turned it into a "race" car that is extremely uncomfortable that the family doesnt like ridint in. so there was my problem.
as i said we had talked about selling the car, and when i get back getting a cobra because that would be all the car i need. fast, but comfortable as a daily driver that the family will ride in.
well, the more i thought about it i really like my car and after all the work i put into it i dont want to let it go... so, i have thought some more and come to a good decision. im gonna keep the mustang do one of two options...
1) save it for when i can afford a fun project to build. buy a cobra as planned as a fun daily driver
2) turn the fox into the daily driver i want. rather than spend 20-25k on a cobra, invest money into bullwinkle to make it that way. ditch the drag suspension and build it to take corners but ride smooth. get a new more powerful engine, but add a/c and heat. buy more confortable seats, stereo and speakers.
so far im leaning towards option 2, but its still a long way away, wont happen until after my next pump. im jstu glad i didnt make the mistake of selling, i know i would regret it. well, thanks for listening to me ramble on about nonsense...as i said ive been really bored and thinking a lot and wanted to srae my thoughts with someone else. thanks
