Yank and Berry - either of you need a Noah car cover? I have one I bought for my 17 convertible and never used; no longer have the car. Gonna put it up on the mustang 6g forum but thought I'd check with you guys first.



can't remember if it's a covercraft but I know it's the Noah fabric.

Not surprised it didn't last. It was a stock '17 GT with 2,710 miles for $24,614.

C7 z06s are getting more and more affordable 🤔

The C6 prices have dropped significantly. 28k to 30k. C5s are les than 15k and some drop to 10k or less. There's a lot you can do with a C5 on a budget. If it's a high mileage car, you can pull the 5.7 and drop in a gen III 6.0, bored and stroked you're @ 408 ci. With the right cam, head work and set up, 600 HP as NA is possible.

That's almost double the factory specs.

I’m kind of a Honda fanboy (I want a Type-R) and I’ve had an Si before (‘07 Sedan). I mean I had an ‘07 Si, a ‘07 Repsol CBR 1000 and a Honda lawnmower at one point 🤣. Our other vehicle is a ‘14 Ridgeline Sport.

I want a Mustang again, and would have bought the ‘17 had it not been sold the day before I went to look.

The Si makes more sense family and travel wise (100+ miles, 4 days a week for FedEx).

I still get a fun 6 speed and the kids won’t have to crawl in and out (mainly I just didn’t want to have to constantly move the seats).

What’s funny is I saw a YouTube video “comparing” the Type-R and a Mustang. Why can’t people just like both?

I drive a gs460. I love making V6 stangs and challenger owners wish they had sprung for the V8 option. All smiles.

I bought a 2013 Prius V a couple of weeks ago. It’s slow, sort of ugly and not as content rich as I’d hoped it would be. But, when I look at my IP and see a 50+ mpg average. I feel a little better about my purchase.

I did the same thing not long ago. Friends were telling me how I'd regret it driving back and forth to work everyday, but I love it... especially on the backroads.

To me, there is nothing better driving wise than a MT (especially a Honda*).

I test drove a '19 Mustang GT (and they REALLY wanted me to buy it), and while enjoyable, it just wasn't the same. Granted my first MT was my '07 Si, so I may be slightly biased (though I did own a '96 Cobra for a bit).

I've had mustangs too, but there's something about winding out a little manual Honda... it's just fun

It's not the same with the 1.5T now, but still fun.

I have always found that lightweight cars are more fun to toss around than heavy ones. V8 power and torque are nice, but it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow. I owned 3 German made Opels in the 1970's with less than 100 horsepower and about 2200 pounds. They were as much fun to drive as any one of the 100+ cars that I have owned. Ditto an early stick shift Scion Xb clown car.

True of my Fiat 124 Spider. Always exciting to drive.
