Replacement needed :(

I push for a 1967 or 1968 (safer) Ford Mustang, 289 or 302... with power front disc brakes!

PL..thanks for all that info. My noggin's are a bit rusty when it comes to finances. I can't even balance my check...that's how bad it is
When you get a chance, can you PM me on how to get started on stocks and the company you mentioned, like how much money do I need and all the stuff that the amateur needs to know, if you don't mind Thanks!

CJ, I will look into the model year you suggested..thanks, bro!

If its "fee money to burn" how about a Porsche 944?

yah, I thought about it but, I'm not a mechanically knowledgeable guy...I'm more of a "Get In, Drive it like you stole it, Wash car every other weekend, Wax it seasonally" type of a car owner

CJ, those cars, most of them are way out of my budget although they are classic according to Auto Trader.

Finances and investing are two different things. I'm pretty good at investing and uh not so good at managing my expenses and bills. If I wasn't good at investing and trading I might be in poor house. While on the other hand some people I know are very good at managing their finances and are TERRIBLE at investing their savings.
You should talk to a certified financial planner or contact Vanguard and tell you want to set up a monthly investment account and an IRA or ROTH if you don't already have one.

Gerry,

Here's another suggestion :

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=246025434&dealer_id=9434025&car_year=1999&model=&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&start_year=1996&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&sownerid=613571&make=ACURA&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=94583&advanced=y&end_year=2009&doors=&transmission=&max_price=5000&cardist=14

Looks pretty nice. Not sure if I would buy a car with 189k miles though ( even if it is an Acura )...

also nice
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/car/732987189.html i like

[unklekraker]

dude, as a filipino born, it is our birth right to drive a van like that esp. if it has the bubble window on the back, lowered it, put a fat tires on it...bam, instant filipino family in the mid 80's...boo yeah!

i'm just reminiscing the days when most of my relatives drive that kind of van

your second one is not bad looking...I'm still hoping that the deal will go thru and the first 2 choice i got checked out good...

[Blkboxster]

The Z28 is a nice car, but that other truck looked like you where going to kill a kid

[Brucelee]

Get the Z28. Looks good, fast and cheap and easy to fix.

No worries, get the ponycar.

my other truck was like that before but it's a Bronco w/ 4" suspension Lift Kit and 38" Super Swamper...hahahaha! those 4 wheeling days are fun

Z28 still my first choice. I'm calling my Pastor to say a prayer for me...hehehehehe!

[unklekraker]

UPDATE:
The guy didn't show up due to family ememrgency, I'm keeping the deposit but might give him another chance and I get to drive the Z28...

2 words regarding the Z28 w/ V8 5.7 liter:
STUPID FAST

I will be stupid if I go any faster

*but I didn't pick it up yet till I get rid of my Benz'
