You should have picked up a CPO 335i, Ive seen them fully loaded with Terra Brown Leather Interior Aluminum Trim 30k on the clock for 28-29 grand if you know how to deal, Mustang was a huge mistake but you realize that later.

These posts are hilarious.

Big mistake.
Should have waited.
One of those things.

Get over yourselves and maybe??? just read the posts or congratulate him.

Should have waited???

He and his dad went and got cars together. Dad is sitting there cleaning his wheels and OP was probably going to do the same thing.

How can time together and with cars, cars and bikes for me, be a bad thing for a father and son?

I remember these times well and are some of the best times of my early years.

This place cracks me up.

So you opt for one whose interior looks like a 1950s jukebox?

Seriously. Of all the cars out there, what attracted you to the Mustang?

Well,it probably had something to do with the v8 motor , rwd platform, 3.73 gears , backup camera, heated seats , sync , bluetooth, and the 1 milllion othr features the car has on the inside. And the fact it's a 2010 and something new and fresh . And it just has alot more soul too it vs my e90 I had. Plus cheap to modify and with 550hp I'm sure it would still cost thousands under a 135i or 335i.

He will have much more control than you will in your BMW! Check out some of the latest tests on the GT and you will be surprised in its performance compared to an M3.

The new Mustangs are not the same as past years.

^ Sarcasm with a hypocritical flair.

He got an S4 and must have a dozen posts about how easily it is to bump an S4 into the 400 club.
And he lives in FL.

550hp? Goooooood one. You stand no chance of keeping up with a e90 in the twistys. Can you say Live real axle?

Listen bro i didn't get this car because i CARE what you like. I got it because I like it. Do me a favor and leave the thread if all your going to do is sit here and bash on it because your opinion means very little to me.

I don't get this. You made a thread about peoples opinions on your interest in a Genesis coupe. And here you just bitch and moan because he is in a Mustang. I for one would take the Stang before the Genesis. Not knocking the Hyundai. READ THE REVIEWS.

Thanks for clarifying that.

To clarify your first statement -- I am moving to Europe shortly, so...the twisties will be abundant and Autobahn will be a part of weekly drive....

I may actually use those horses where NO ONE will ever need a 1/3 of it in Florida...

Your right.

There isn't a track or strip in the state of Florida anyway. Much less the freedom to choose an automobile because it is too powerful for the states roadways. The manufacturers shipments must have had the wrong addresses. I would get on the phone and call every Lambo/Ferrari/Vette and so forth owner in the state and inform them of this. I am positive they will appreciate your knowledge and concern.

I understand now.

Thanks!

There's no need for any car that doesn't handle as well as a BMW because there's no place to really drive it.

Therefore, a car (such as a BMW) that has a chassis that's built to handle well (or at least feels that it handles well) is more useful and hence a better choice and a much better car.

You can drive a BMW beyond the speed limit on roads that have plenty of s curves, because it's illegal to drive a car fast on the straights. And everyone drives in canyons and rarely on open freeways, anyway.

All cars (especially a BMW) are really meant to drive very hard on narrow twisty roads where it's so much safer to drive really fast. Because it's not safe and it's useless to drive fast on open roads or at least on roads with minimal tight corners.

All cars need to be small and lightweight (such as older BMWs) so that they can be tossed into corners much easier. Large heavy cars are useless with maybe the exception of safety and transporting people in comfort. But they are stupid to own.

All cars must be forgiving and very easy to drive (such as a BMW) so that they can be tossed into corners without losing control. Any car that isn't so forgiving and takes time to learn is not worth owning.

Anyway, Mustangs suck just because.

(I learn so much on E90Post)
