What if your Mustang was totaled today?

[spectreman]

It depends.

Don't mean to turn this political but I expect that the future economy is going to tank under the current adminstration, perhaps not immediately, but I'm guessing by next year. You already see certain aspects- gas price increases which will increase costs on everywhere else, and govt. spending.

That being the case, I think I'd go more economical- likely a late model Volkwagen GTI. Practical, fun and still sporty- good combo. Having been a longtime Stang owner tho, if I were better situated financially and could offset the expected increases, I'd likely shop a newer, used model PP1 although the new Mach 1 certainly seems to hit many of the buttons.

My 2016 gt has been paid off for a year. Id be very unhappy.
In any case, Id replace her with a 21 reg cab f150 4x4 in blue with 2.7eco.

Ok, we've got a lot to unpack here folks, so let's get started:

1. "Not trying to be political", but then makes a political statement.

2. Doesn't realize that the economy trails most administrative decisions (i.e. the full impact of decisions made now wouldn't be fully felt until the next term).

3. Thinks an out-of-warranty VW would be a more economical choice.

Sorry caller, you're not a winner this time around. Better luck next time!

The OP asked for opinions. I offered mine. Sorry it hurt your feelings, snowflake. Are you sure you don't belong on the SVT forum?

Yup ................ No chicken dinner for him.

If it were to happen, the perp had best be DOA as a result of the impact. Way to much paperwork to fill out now days from icing the fool. Worse .......... There is a critical shortage of 9mm high velocity, serrated tip, hollow point ammunition.

Ford going Electric is a good move. It'd be better if they pledge their loyalty to the gov't like GM did by vowing to make only electric cars by 2035./s

That's prettt much how I feel with the GT. My 2012 Civic Si needed a new engine since tje rebuilt failed. So I got a new car. The Si is very fun but I can't see myself going back to Front Wheel Drive.

 

[wireeater]

Nope. I've already owned 3. Ready to move on to something else after this.

Not allowed to drive an automatic, use 87 octane, or eat in their car either! Don't even get me started on the value of special edition cars...

Eating in the car is strictly prohibited in any car......

 

[StealthFighter]

I love my 19 gt...but... I would probably get the next gen Raptor, more room, carrying and towing is a plus, .....

And don't forget there's never to be anything positive said if the "Mustang" isn't a v8.

 

[DRKHORS]

Nope. Totally against the rules!

 

[thunderstrike]

Buy another GT Premium 6 speed. I may consider the new Barracuda coming out, if smaller than Challenger.

 

[thunderstrike]

Alfa's Giorgio is too small, Barracuda will not look right. I miss my 1972. Looks like I am sticking with Mustang.
