The car is 17 yrs old, has 62k and it in good shape for how old it is. Just check out the interior....
Damn, that is a sharp looking hoopty.

I replaced the lights on my Lincoln. I bought them off of Amazon. The wiring sucked, I kept the old wiring. The high beams were the first to fail. The old wiring worked like a charm.

I am thinking of going LED on the pickup and maybe on the Toyota.

A roadster with a throwback to the British two seaters would be way too much fun. As much as I like the drive fast and pull big loads, go off road. Twisty roads would be exciting.

I am 6'1" or 6' depending on the day. I'll slide the seat back. The Solara I drive isn't bad. I am thinking I will drop the muffler on that. Keep the resonators and all the other stuff and see how it sounds and performs.

Chow if you can find it at Dollar Tree get some LA Awesome Orange in the bright orange bottle and a
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and see if that might help.
The awesome orange took every bit of smoke haze off of the window frames in the office where I smoke.
They instantly went from second hand smoke yellow back to white.

Yeah, 6 foot isn't bad, especially since you slimmed down....

The mustang while it's in good shape it's still 17 yrs old, and I'm just getting wary of a car that old. I did sink a big chunk of money into it last yr. Mrs. Chow's dad took really good care of it and we have a stack of paperwork that shows all the service work done on it.

I'm thinking of maybe getting a SUV, not sure which one. I've been sort of looking at the Explorer and the Xtera.... anyone have any suggestions???

I vote explorer all the way. That ecoboost engine is the bomb.

I test drove the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week. Loved it. Most awarded SUV ever. I'm probably keeping my truck for a while longer though.

Guys at work were talking about it... I don't want to drop 38 to 45k though.... trying to keep it under about 28 or so..... I did see some 2014 explorers online that look pretty damn sharp... the body style is nice.... but they are up in the 30 plus range.......

I'd look at a 13. The 12 was the first year with that platform.
