+1...I've always been in and out of the idea of completely getting out of the mustang game, but everytime i sell one, I always feel the need to get another. The issues that come with this hobby get frustrating at times but what I've done to cope with them is keep modding the car
Whenever I do something new to it or drive it after weeks/months of it just sitting I always fall in love with it all over again...
Not sure if your 50 is your DD or a car that you drive on a normal basis, but if it is, just park it for a bit and sit on it for a while...then drive it after a long period of sitting and enjoy all over again

Kinda in the same boat.
I expect to get out of the late model Mustang game in the next year or so. How long I'll be away is another topic, lol

You can put EFI on and old car, no smog...... I still wouldn't want to park in most places. But old cars are still stolen less often now then 5.0's...... And classic car insurance is pretty cheap.

Honestly, a bolt on 12 second fox gets decent mileage. Definitely better than most SUVs and what not. Ins. is cheap on them, and you can have a fun fast smog legal car. Just costs a bit more.

Garage is the home of my old school. This 50 just sits on the side. I parted out my 88 gt and sold my 90 lx. Now I am just sitting on this 87 doing nothing with it.
