7 year loans suck ;)

12k left on a 21k car after 4 years

which is why the mustang is only slightly more expensive than the srt monthly

You should talk to a financial planner. This has FAIL all over it. You should keep the SRT-4 and try and sell it. Once it is sold then buy the new car. Don't risk it anymore then you have it.
+1.. The older you get, the less inclined people will be to bail you out of your poor financial decisions especially when they're as insane as they appear to be ;) And that's all I'll say because I know you don't want to hear it but be careful. Really I hope everything works out, because there's no point in having nice fast cars when you're too old to enjoy them properly. Just ask marcus ;)

i hear ya... if i wasn't half comfortable with the idea of having both cars, financially comfortable, i wouldn't have gone through with it.

credit unions are "nice"... they're more willing to work with you. Once i pay off my dad for his little loan i'm going to focus on paying the srt off in chunks as i get money from side jobs.

i will look into the refi route asap, and will have the car up for sale until its sold... regardless of it being paid off or refinanced. i understand the risk i'm taking... but also understand the whole deal is costing me $300 more a month than when i was getting my tattoo worked on... and that wasn't even close to being an issue.

i'm just going to be a bit smarter with the money i do have so i can soften the blow and save up in case there is an issue.

i do have side work... and i'll have more... that money will go into the paying off the neon instead of mods for the mustang. i'm also looking at selling the truck since i won't get around to it for a few more years since i want to work on the GT

traction control on it is real nice... and i've had a mustang in the winter before... and did a 180 in the snow haha, not on purpose >_>

but if the winters are like what we've been getting, i'm not too concerned. i can also work from home

besides, its not like the summer tires on the srt are any good for winter driving

You would be god damn amazed what proper snow tires and 16" winter steelies can do for you. I don't know what weight ratio is on the stang but on a proper 50/50 w/r car rwd is PERFECT in the snow. Nothing like throwing fresh powder the whole way around and exit ramp. I will say though, the effect is even cooler with awd ;)

so i was near split second on business rt 1, and i was going left at a light. across from me, a van was going left also, opposite me. well i saw a few cars come from behind him (its a 2 lane rd) andi waited for them. well as soon as it was "clear" i went, and the cop locked his breaks up comming about 2 inches from my passanger door. im pretty sure he was behind the van and cut around him, and there i was. so he flicked on his lights, ran up to me and said "thats the dumbest thing ive seen in 13 years on the force. youll get something in the mail, this isnt my jurisdiction". just sucks i was on my back from picking up my girlfriend who was throwing up and couldnt drive.
but i was very polite because i knew it was my fault, im just hoping i catch a break and dont get points=/
