Well, the BMW was sorted…. Sort of. Ugh. Too long a story and I really don’t feel like rehashing it. So, long story-short, the beemer is gone and there is now a 2007 Mustang GT/CS (5 speed, of course) in the driveway. I just took it for a rip. The BMW or my Mini, for that matter, handle better and are more fun to drive, but boy does this Ford move, and it sounds sweet. Kid, take it easy, please.

I think the Mustang is a safer choice than the BMW in the long run. As the owner of two Priuses, though, every time I get close to buying a new car, I just can't. Prius just never breaks and goes forever. Might be the most bulletproof car ever.

I wish he had never sold his Prius. He's have had zero maintenance costs but oil change and tires and would have saved so much money. But I can't fault the boy for wanting nice wheels. I, too, think this is my favorite modern Mustang body style. On the ride I took him on last night, I got it up to 75 on the back country roads, never got out of 3rd gear. Chirped the tires once or twice. . The exhaust note from the factory Roush exhaust is really nice. He's happy. Just hope he stays out of trouble.Rich
