@kraftig: nope, they paid for it
Excellent! Good to hear about service after the sale! :clap:

Nothing for now, unfortunately. I'm thinking a bone-stock Peugeot 106 GTI for having fun on corners -we even have a little Cote'd Azur-like roads here- but an investment has to come first i guess.
My ultimate wish is an e39 M5, but they are ridiculously expensive in here -around 45-55k Canadian dollars-

And there's more; I have to pay a huge tax every year, necessary insurance is expensive too, and a gallon of gas costs about 8 CND. So, it's hard to get one, and even harder to own one.

But still dreaming about it! At least,

Bought this last Friday from a good friend I've known since High School. He bought it new & only put on 46K miles, since he had a company car. He sold it because he bought his dream car from another buddy...a 2001 BMW E39 M5. :rockon: . I told him to let me know if he decided to sell it & 2 weeks later he offered it to me at a price I couldn't pass up. Still have our other 2 cars...my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport (6spd) & my wife's 2006 Subaru WRX (5spd).

2007 Ford Mustang GT Premium
300hp, 320lb-ft 4.6L V8 (fuel economy is pretty horrific, at least on this first tank) :manual:

Update on one of my cars.

The rare Turbo X 3 spokes did not work out. I broke my rule and increased unsprung weight to have them. This led to: a dead Pilot Super Sport, a bent wheel, a broken end link, and a dead Koni strut.

The wheels sold in less than a day to a local guy for what I paid for them even with a bent one.

I replaced them with much stronger Enkeis that weighted 30% less and more than 10% less than the stock 17's. I modified the stock center caps to fit which make them look a bit more OEM.

Nice ride "old-man", but you're growing up too fast!
