Getting A Little Nervous Driving This Thing

[Stage_3]

I got a 50k agreed value on my car with Grundy Insurance. Cheap money. Under 600 bucks a year.
I think I'm going to up it a bit to 60k agreed value in January.
My daily driver has more than the required amount of insurance on it. Too many idiots out there.

Just buy a GT500. Then it can be your crappy other car.

Now THAT is a solution I wish I could afford.

You just need a beater. I drive an old acura to and from Frederick and Rockville every day. It also makes driving the mustang more fun and enjoyable because you’re not always in it. I typically drive it on super nice days and sometimes Saturdays because 270 is vacant. Saves fuel costs, wear and tear on the mustang, and you’re theoretically cutting down on your chances of being in an accident. I’ve had my mustang for a year and 3 months (I’ve had the integra as a beater the whole time) and I’ve put 10,500 miles on the mustang in that time. So having a beater doesn’t make your car some garage queen like people think it does. Most of those 10k miles are hard driving back roads for hours on the weekends

I have lived in every part of the DMV. DC (for school), Falls Church, Suitland and now Hanover. Every time I drive to DC I just think about there would no way I could own the car and live in the city. Fortunately when I was living in Falls Church I took the metro/MARC to work(BWI) so that cut down on me driving my car around 50 miles a week. I ended up buying a 4Runner as my DD because there is now way I could take the car out of fear of other drivers and vandalism. Having a DD makes that commute easier on my conscience lol.

I keep telling myself it's why I got a GT instead of a Shelby or Bullitt. Doesn't help, I park well away from everyone at work and take the wife's car when we go out on the weekends. Granted there are other reasons she doesn't get much seat time in my car...

Can we get that guard for our Mustangs, front and rear? Problem solved

There was just a thread about that I think.

Simple solution... move. Who the hell would want to live anywhere near D.C? If a terrorist attack happens, you or NYC is the probable place. Couple that with too much traffic and crazy people everywhere. Nah, I'll pass.

I had one a number of years ago. The problem was everyone drove slow when they saw me!

Being a driver of a 17 GTPP with great brakes and a 02 f150 4x4 having not so great brakes with long stopping distances, I have to constantly remind myself, in the GTPP, not to brake hard when coming to a light, a stop sign or whatever if there are vehicles behind me. Most of their reaction times and poor to average brake systems don't give them good stopping distance.

Exactly why I give even more space in front of me when someone tailgates me.

As someone who's lived 37 of my 41 years in NoVA, I feel your pain. Mine isn't my daily driver and I quite honestly rarely drive into DC anymore. I used to and had an older Explorer that I'd drive in as my truck at the time never fit in any of the garages. Otherwise all you can do is try to keep an eye on the geniuses driving around here. Between the traffic and the cell phones it's gotten pretty bad.

Hate driving in DC. When I worked down there I took the metro since the office was right above a station. Bought the s550 after job moved to Woodlawn near Balto. Took ICC to 29 both ways; much safer and enjoyable

It's all good. I've scratched up the Count Chocula splitter a bit, so I'm past worrying.....for the most part.
