Well it has taken me awhile to prepare for this post because my flame suit takes a long time to get on and get the oxygen all hooked up.

The only other cars, besides MB's,that I have driven over the years that I have gotten high mileage out of have been Fords. I put a zillion miles on a few '66 Mustangs and had an '85 Mustang GT that I really enjoyed driving.

I have admired the newest Mustang since it came out and when they put out 0% interest for 6 years I pulled the trigger. I bought a new '06, 300HP V8 GT with a manual transmission. In spite of the solid rear axle, I really enjoy driving it. It's quick and solid and suits my current needs quite well.

Like Jim Yuhn, the constant repair of the auxilliary equipment on my 124 just got to be overwhelming. The drivetrain and suspension have proven to be near bullet proof, but I have replaced so much stuff on the car from a/c parts, to belt tensioners to you name it, I'm just done. Currently I'm working 60 or so hours a week and just dont have the time any more to keep up with it.

Okay, so I will get the oxygen mask on and then hit the submit key.
