WTF is wrong with me?

[petyweestraw]

I would love a new stang but I'm steering more towards and nicely equipped four door pickup.

you realized a mustang isn't a family car. Buy a nice suv add a turbo

I traded my M3 in on a new X4 (turbo SUV), and I have to say that I don't miss the stiffer ride or open exhaust. It's not near as quick, but quick enough and sporty enough to not feel like a soccer mom-mobile.

So yeah, getting older aint so bad. I do still want to get back into a sports car when funds allow for such a big "weekend only" expense, but I don't miss the kidney punch for daily duty.

One thing I've noticed about getting older is that I'm a lot less tolerant of Harley's with open exhaust. Loud cars I don't mind, but fuck those bikes get on my nerves, perhaps for the simple fact that it has nothing to do with performance, and is all about "look at me."

I think I'm going to revisit the 2009+ CTS-V idea I've been screwing with off and on for a while now. The wife said if I could take the Lincoln and get an Explorer with a 3rd row out of it, I could use her new Escape and the Tahoe to scratch that itch.

Mine are 7 and 9. They're both in full car seats and will stay in them as,long as I can find seats that fit properly. They also stay in the back seats. The 9 year old is 64lbs and the 7 year old is 67lbs.

I've seen too many accidents in my time to change that. They never even got to ride in the Cobra, other than a couple of short neighborhood trips. They never got to get out on the main roadways Bacause the rear seats only had lap belts.

That's kind of sad. Mine rides in the fastback every chance she gets and loves it. you have your reasons and I can't question them but my daughter and I have gotten many hours of quality bonding time on Sunday drives in the classic.

I know it's a dangerous world out there, but some risks are worth taking. After almost 20 years of driving that car, it hasn't killed me yet.

That said, I was never a cop and I didn't work car wrecks. I can see how that could change ones perspective.

Wow. When you get a chance, tell him one of your asshole hot rod buddies he doesn't remember says hi.

[Denny]

Ha! I can point you out in the Austin pic.

Perhaps, but continually goosing the throttle while creeping through a parking lot does more to annoy lives than save them.

More to the point though, is that it din't always get to me. I've daydreamed about owning such a bike in the past, no chance in hell I'd put my ears through that today.

[Denny]

And I'll still put his ass in a car seat!

[46Tbird]

That's a damned good kid. I'm proud of him.

When he gets done there he is going to come home and whip your old ass!
