Today I bid farewell to my dearly loved 2002 Mustang GT. I had that car for five years. I put over $5K in aftermarket parts on it (almost all installed by myself), and by the time I got rid of it, it could roast anything short of a new Corvette. I fell in love in that car. I sweated and bled under the hood. It now has almost 120,000 miles on it, and I never had anything other than minor problems with it (or problems that I caused myself...hellooooo shredded 3rd gear synchronizer from a missed shift during a burnout). That car WAS me for five years, and I'll always love it.
Alas, I found a 2007 'Stang GT with only 15K miles on it and got a GREAT deal. I also couldn't afford to keep both. I was initially kinda skeptical of the 07 considering how much I loved the 02, and because the 02 was faster. But after driving it for a couple of days, I really dig the 07. Even if it IS slower.
And as sad as I am to get rid of the 02, she'll live on. One of my buddies bought her and has big plans to make her a world beater.

I miss my 1989 Ford Aerostar.
Seriously.
I was the 2nd owner, it had just over 130,000km on it, and had all the 'toys' included. The only repair I ever had to do on it was a new alternator and muffler.
Some drunk driver nailed it one night as my wife and I were going home and it was written off.
Now I'm stuck with a 2000 Sunfire. Which i don't like.

1986 Prelude. It went like mad - I used to drive home from the girlfriends at 210km/hr to hit curfew (What was I thinking! Oh yeah....).
Just wore out the body, it had 400000km on it. Great car.
