Schedule

So far I have decided to use this site as a display of current information regarding my search and savings toward a 2005 Ford Mustang GT. I will try to continue posting on a weekly basis. That means I will update the page every Sunday evening. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy the ride.

The discouraging search continues.

      This past week has been a little less inviting as far as my search goes. I have not only been having trouble finding any hopeful deals but I am also having second thoughts as most people do in this stage. I have been doing tons of research and finding more and more problems with the 2005 ford mustang gt. While at first I knew that the automatic transmission wasn't that good I was ok with that as I would only get a manual. There are people that I have found complaining about their manual transmissions whether it be the shifter being impossible to put into first or if it goes out completely. Overall this is not very fun to hear. I of course have heard of fords problems in their cars past but I have always been such a big fan that it may have blinded me. I really need some assurance on whether it is smart for me to get my dream car and I don't know exactly where to find it as most people are biased in one way or another. Hopefully I can find answers or a solution to these problems. Worst case I go with my gut and avoid these, maybe get a Mazdaspeed 3 and wait until I have a good enough job to get a newer mustang as I know that ford is good with their cars of today. Overall I am feeling very conflicted at the moment and I am unsure of what will happen in the future. Thanks again for following and I would welcome any advice from anyone.

Continued Search for the right Mustang

   Hello everybody, thanks again for following me and I apologize that this post will be a little bit less about the mustang and more about life. I will, however, start off by saying that I am having a hard time finding exactly what I want and that it may take longer than I had hoped to find the right one. That being said I am still extremely enthusiastic about this search as I am still confident. This past week I did talk to a guy that was about a 3 hour drive away from me with a heavily modded mustang. He had a nitrous kit installed, racing clutch, shorter gearing, great pype offroad exhaust and really wide wheels. I decided after talking him down $1200 in price that it just wasn't what I wanted as I need something that will last a while. Moving on I just recently got a job doing oil changes and tire rotations etc. and I am loving it. In the past I have never been working with customer service and I can say that it already has its ups and downs. I get better pay and the job on its own is really fun. I haven't gotten my latest paycheck so I can't update my progress percentage either so maybe by tomorrow I can get back on and update that. Anyway I am still looking for some suggestions as far as what you guys want to hear so go ahead and let me know with some comments. Other than that, thanks again for following and have a great rest of the weekend.

Well today will mark my first straight up blog post, a very small step of many more to come. It is with great pleasure to inform you that I have decided that I am financially ready for the burden of an auto loan. That being said, I am still very tight with even that loan so I can begin searching for a Mustang, however it may not be very easy. Being that summer is beginning the car sales are just starting to crank up and with that the prices which is almost perfect timing as I have been sitting and waiting for so long already. This is really the point at which I begin to loose my patience and mourn that I have not yet become of my own dream. As I have saved thus far I will not let this discourage me into settling for less. I hope to gain some feedback as to what all of you people are hoping to hear about.                                                                                                                                                                     As for statistics I will update you so far:

            -I am now about 71% to my savings goal
            -The average price for the specific mustang is about $2000 away from my maximum price        
 Again I really hope you enjoy the story as it goes through and make sure to comment or contact me about things you want to hear as well as suggestions to make this journey more exciting for you guys. Thanks again and will see you next week.

         At this point I hope to gain some feedback of what people want from this blog, however for now I have a couple of simple things that I will try to update the readers on:
-Savings or status of me getting to my savings goal.
-Search status, The different occurrences and problems of a search or success.
-Actions with the car, will I be modding it or making it look better to my standards.
-Having fun with the fruits of my labor. (May move to youtube for this)
I want to provide a decent amount of information as I believe my story can be interesting with good conversation. Being that I don't actually think my life is that exciting, other than the impending dream car, I am in need of some people to highlight interesting areas with their questions. Thanks  to everyone that looks into this and to those who ask future questions.
         Welcome to my new blog about my journey to my own dream car. It has been a while since I started saving for my dream car but I feel like the past chunk of time would be quite boring to put updates on my progress. Basically I am creating this because I didn't want to make a youtube channel, yet, being that I don't know how to create high quality content as well as find the right program for making that content. I hope this is a way for other people to find motivation towards their dream cars or even just their dream. Again welcome and enjoy the ride.
