spaceman spiff, this may sound silly, does footballsfuture.com ring a bell? If not nevermind ignore that.

And I’m on the north east coast.

  No.  I think I watched one football game last year.  Now, I did watch a ton of futbol games last year. 

[quote=iceco1d][quote=Spaceman Spiff]No, then I’d have to add “track down my cocaine dealer so I can live with myself” to my to do list.  I just don’t have that kind of time. 

  j - yes, I think it is.  I'm not quite old enough for a mid life crisis car, but I'm seriously thinking about trading in the family minivan on this:     If I could only figure out a way to get the kid's car seats into the thing.  [/quote]   Spiff,   Why on EARTH would you buy a Ford, when for the same price you could be driving Italian beauty (Gallardo, used F430), or even getting some bond action (not bondAGE) in an Aston Martin?!?!?   We need to have another talk.  Apparently the kool-aid is affecting your overall decision making ability...  (don't hold this against me, I'm starting the weekend early).   Seriously though, Gallardo or F430 > Ford GT (insert any number you like here).[/quote]   1) no bailout money 2) loyalties that run deep 3) That car is just cool   Actually, if I had that kind of cash to spend on a car it would be on something more like this:    or  or  or     OR I could spend half that much money and get 90% of the performance with this:     Don't get me wrong, I have an appreciation for your Lambo's or Aston's or Ferrari's, but I love classic American muscle.  If you want to talk Ferrari's, send this guy an email  - [email protected].  He's got a couple you can drool over.  A couple dozen from what I've heard.

the problem is all these wiseguys on these blogs have absolutely nothing constructive or positive to say. people come here to share ideas and get positive input. the smarta** comments provide nothing. zero value. a bunch of burned out brokers who have probably destroyed their clients and themselves just taking shots at everything and everyone. disregard them.

  stay focused on your clients, stay focused on a positive attitude. the macro and the tape is tough enough. work hard, try to do the best you can. intelligent, positive thinking is what we need. find out what's working, and what isnt and share it. what techniques work, what doesnt.   (to all of the wiseguys here: go to yahoo message boards or some other venue to take shots, argue and bitch. be professional and positive, add some value please. try to help the other guy instead of ridiculing all the competition. none of the firms that YOU work for are that good, dont try to condescend and fool other people and yourself. the whole game is tough and filled with weird stuff. do us a favor, say something good or go away and stay away. the ones who do it know who they are. add value or get out)

But Spiff, don’t you realize that all those cars will ever be are Fords? Look to GTOs…the original muscle car!

  The list of classic Detroit iron that I'd love to fill my garage someday is long.  The GTO would be in there.  I'm partial to the '65-'67 model years.  I'd also like to have a Firebird, Smokey and the Bandit style Trans Am, and a Charger.  For those nights out with the family I'd love to have a '67 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors.  For daily commuting and grocery getting I'd love to pick up a '55-'57 Chevy truck.  I'd paint it EDJ green and put my business card info on the tailgate.   Mustangs are my first love though.  It's the only American sportscar besides the Corvette that has kept it's name and popularity since it was introduced.  And I can find a fully restored GT convertible for under $50K these days.
