For those of you that don't know I AM A MUSTANG FREAK!!! I LOVE 'em. My first car was a 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback GT 350. She was a beautiful blue with white stripes, Glass packs , air shocks etc. I LOVED her and still do. I would KILL to have her back ...... seriously. Anyway the car I traded in for my CR-V ,which is what I am driving now, was a 1997 Ford Mustang GT and while I LOVED her too she did not compare to my first love. To be honest none other will but I am hoping there will be one special gal out there who can come close. You know they say you never get over your first love. I traded in my '97 on a new '99 Honda CR-V because my oldest son was getting so tall it was a pain for him to crawl into the back seat and I would not let him ride in the front because of the airbags. While I have really liked my CR-V there is NO comparison to a mustang ( except it is blue as well )
I am a single mom and financially it has not been in the cards for me to get a new car but I decided to do it! I was driving home from work last week and there she was sitting right up on the front row of the lot in all her glory!!! Guess what ? She is that beautiful blue with white stripes..... I drove by her everyday and would drool. One day when Pat came over her asked if I had seen her to which I replied "of course...DUH " nothing much else was said about it and then this week he sent me a link with her sales info..... that was it... I was on it like white on rice. I started seriously figuring out if i could make her a reality. At each step I kept trying to talk myself out of it. My last straw was insurance. I fig going from a Honda CR-V to a Mustang GT my insurance would go up so much in addition to the gas $ that I would decide to wait a little longer. But when i checked on the insurance it was only going to go up approx $13 a month. O.k. that was ssssssoooooooo doable. That day on my way home I went by the lot... yep still there :) I had planned to apply online that night for financing and then make an appointment to go drive her. I had an appointment to get my hair colored that evening and on my way home I drove back by there..... AND SHE WAS GONE!!!!!!!! No where to be seen. I turned around and drove back by there. Had they just given her a new home on the lot? Somewhere she could be seen better maybe ? NOPE.... SHE WAS GONE!!!!! The first thing I did when I got to work yesterday was call and ck on her status. I also sent an email and inquired. I found out someone had put a deposit on her and was in the process of getting approved for financing her, The dealer said I would know something by the end of the day. I went ahead and applied for my own financing and got approved WHOOHOO a little later I found out SHE WAS AVAILABLE!!!! So I made arrangements to go by and check her out. Now mind you she is a stick and I have not driven a stick since high school WELL OVER 20 YRS AGO.... YIKES.. But alas it was not meant to be. She was a smoker YUCK!! the salesman said they had someone that could do a great job of getting rid of the cigarette smoke... ok moving on.... next prob she had some body damage. Nothing major and it could be repaired. Ok... I get to the other side and that door has a little bitty issue as well. Again, something you prob wouldn't even notice IF you weren't going over her with a microscope :). We took her for a spin.... OH she sounded lovely and made my heart race just like the good 'ole days!!! I was so excited, I was doing this... I was REALLY doing this. We got back to the lot. The dealer went to start the paper work , I'm sitting there admiring her out the window and it hits me .... YOU DIDN'T CK OUT THE TIRES!!! So I go back out to inspect... front tires brand new :) BUT I get to the rear tires AND THEY ARE BALD!!! Mind you this is a rear wheel drive auto. OOPS that's another problem. With that said I decide they need to come down off the price with these issues that are coming up especially the tires... when we got down to biz the dlr would not budge except to take $500 off the price and I could fix the door ding and replace the tires... SAY WHAT ?!? Oh HELL NO!!!! what kind of a deal is that ?!? Needless to say I had to drive away and leave her behind. Seriously I almost cried. But that is ok. I know there is another girl out there who is made just right for me.... I just gotta get out there and find her ;)
