Well, its official. She's gone.

Sold my baby. And Lord, I'm missing her already. 03 Mach 1, IUP, 4.6 32 Valve Dual Overhead cam V-8. 5 speed. Black. Mach sound system, K+N intake, Flow-master stainless exhaust. Bought brand spankin new March 03. Only drove it 16,300 miles. Daughter just got license, needed vehicle. I can only hope if I hit 90 and am on life support she'll remember this and have the heart to kick the plug out of the wall. *sigh*

You sold your 03 cobra!!!

That is the best mustang made up until the new Shelby Cobra's.
We had the 1970 Mustang Mach 1 428SCJ which we bought in 1970, which in my opinion was the second best Mustang ever built. After getting Married in 1972 I sold it to be more responsible....
It was in perfect shape, but traded it in on a new truck and overhead camper...
Probably the worst decision I have ever made.
Oh well,,,, time will tell if you feel the same way as I do.
It's gone now,,, so you can't look back..

Well, I did it to help my daughter. She's been on the Honor Roll for years, and it looks like she's getting 2 years of community college free for her efforts. At 17 she has a good part-time job and is very responsible. Still goes to church with mom, still sings in choir, just a good egg all the way around. I have no complaints. We bought an 05 Explorer off lease thats pristine. I'll feel better about this knowing she's not riding around in a tin-can.

Couldn't you just up the insurance and let her drive it?? I know, its too late now, but...Sorry to hear it, but I know about getting rid of "toys" for your daughter...

hah youre kidding right....up the insurance !?!

ive got one coming of driving age...hes a boy scout, in ROTC & an honor roll
student (which apparently doesnt mean squat when it comes to insurance
rates these days).

i bought an OLD car (1984) for us to clean up and for him to drive back
and forth to school...its a DIESEL...you know what its gonna cost to
have him drive that 9 miles each day....g'head take a guess.

1984 DIESEL....

Insurance is one of the reasons I got rid of the car. My insurance agent just gave me the Full Metal Jacket stare when I asked what the insurance would be to have that car in the driveway. With a new driver, it goes up even if they will never drive it. The costs are amazing.
