Sell Teh Stang?

I'm seriously considering it :(

I've dumped all my money into it and I just don't think I can afford to replace anything else if something does break

I was thinking about a 1st Gen turbo AWD Eclipse/Talon, something quick, and awd so I can drive all year round

ok... flame away

EDIT: Pics and mod list :(

Eh, it's all personal choice. Not a big rice fan but I know where you're coming from. Have you thought about any other kindof rides. The UP requires a bit of a different year round ride. You think an Eclipse will have enough ground clearance up there when you guys get some good dumps?

I don't really want a truck except for maybe an 80's S-10 with a 350 or a 80's Toyota

I think teh Eclipse would do ok, there's plenty of people that drive dumped rides year round up here, I'm not much of a corner guy anyway so i'd leave the suspension stock and just go motor mods

typhoon/syclone or a 4x4 s10 with a sb in it works well.
Can use a bravada t case and have awd (kinda dumb to me you lose your low range and its just like 4hi)

I'd keep the stang, but if you can't afford, really no choice.

I can afford it for now, but I don't know how much longer I can. I keep getting in more and more debt with my dad lol :( sucks

get your money's worth; part it out and reinstall the stock parts. With older cars, it isn't a question of if something will break, merely when. Hell, my 95 isn't very old, but ABS and the air bags are going to cost me a pretty penny to fix once college lets out. An older performance car is kind of on borrowed time before something breaks, because all those older parts are stressed that much more. Then again, sounds like you have a fair number of newer parts. How often do you drive the stang?

Well with the idea of an Ecipse in mind i woudl naturally say no. But financially you need to get something reliable. Theres plenty of time left in life to own a fast ass sweet ride.

Mainly why i have a jeep liberty, reliable, and i can drive it year round, plus three other chicks fit in the ride too! (so far, knock on wood.)

I have like no stock parts, I have stock 351W exhaust manifolds that's it :( I bought the car swapped

I drive it in summer only and still then not much cruise around town, and occasionally a hour long trip here or there
