New car! (with pics) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

So I got a new car two days ago after being without one for a month or so.

I got a really great deal on it. It's a 2004 Ford Mustang 40th Anniversary edition with a few modifications. For some reason the previous owner changed the front end and hood for the one off of a cobra. It's bright blue, has only 19,000 miles, and was a steal at $12k.

congrats dude, v6 or v8...mmmmmm gurglev8gurgle ect.

It's the V-6, which I don't really mind. My insurance company goes by the engine size when determining rate, so I pay $98 a month for full coverage.

Great car AND great insurance!

roadkill · 12-09-2005, 08:57 PM

Not a bad find. I would have taken it also had I found it.

Gabbyness · 12-09-2005, 10:20 PM

Congrats, enjoy the new ride! What are the "few modifications?"

My insurance doesn't care...only thing they increase is 4x4's.

which does not make any sense...
they are safer then any 2WD based vehicle for snow/dirt/etc

Oh and awesome car man, you've a great purchase there.

I love the blue too, it stands out very well.

hossified · 12-12-2005, 01:20 PM

try fixing a 4wd versus a 2wd....there's your difference in premium....

sweet stang man.....that colour is wicked

Destrox · 12-12-2005, 01:23 PM

so the total number of accidents with 2wd vs 4wd doesnt make the difference at all?

I find that hard to beleive.

2wd's in snow based areas are an accident waiting to happen. The number of stuck vehicles that are 4wd are so far fewer then 2wd its unreal. (I use to work for a towing business in a large snow belt area.)

sounds like a way for insurance to just fuck us over even more.

Sorry for going off topic btw...

stingc · 12-12-2005, 03:44 PM

Just getting stuck doesn't equate to a significant insurance payout.

A lot of people with 4wd's think that they have much more of an advantage than they actually do and end up crashing more often due to the misplaced confidence (my possibly innaccurate anecdotal observation). Also, all those 4x4 trucks and SUVs tend to roll over a lot in dry weather.

nice car doesnt really matter if its 6 or 8 cos once you get to the speed limit thats it! (you do stick to the limit dont you???) Really into the color but remember it looks better if kept washed (that from Mrs Ryfo, in reference to me NOT washing my car!)
