Clyde Programming Notes

Programming notes:

1. Aramda is gone.
2. 1991 Miata is here.

As you recall, this was meant to be a temporary solution, and I know that it ultimately will be, but at the moment, I am finding it quite difficult to come up with reasons to spend any money on another car.

I have a great amount of lust in my heart for a 2010 Mustang GT w/ Track Pack, 2010 Camaro (not 100% sure on config), 370Z, Charger SRT-8, C6 Corvette of almost any type, and, of course, the Pontiac G8 GXP.

I look at what they all cost relative to what I have into the Miata and I just can't seem to rationalize the price/value relationship.

You must wait for the return of the 5.0L Mustang. That is the car to buy. Maybe (hopefully?) they'll even put retroish 5.0 badges on the side.

Yes, but let's hope the badge comes back.
