For quite a while I have been wanting a motorcycle (Harley or big Cruiser). My lovely wife (which I am the luckiest man alive to have her) has always been willing to listen and look at the pro's and con's of me having a bike. We used to ride a street bike when we were in college but now that we have 2 son's it's just too dangerous to chance getting run over and leaving the boys or having them have to sacrifice due to us in an accident.

After looking for a collector car that we as a family could enjoy, we bought a 2003 Mustang Cobra convertable yesterday evening. It is great to ride with the top down and also know that their isn't much that can pass you on the road unless you want to let them.......:D :D :D

2003 and 2004 Cobra's were the only year that Ford produced a limited number of Mustangs with a supercharger from the factory. I look forward to going to watch football practice with the top down.................

Why not? Everyone else spells phonetically instead of properly. ;)

excellent choice! The 03 and 04 cobra's are the best value out there for a perfromance car. They are highly valued by all mustang enthusiasts. pics please.

dogman you made a great decision on not getting a Harley....IMO there are much better bikes out there and Harleys cost much more because of the name.

Great choice the 390 hp is quite conservative too. With just a few mods it is easy to get 500 hp if you choose too. They are fast now but man can they be made flat out scary.

I love convertibles... My wife and I had a 99 camaro convertible and LOVED it. Traded it in to get a bigger vehicle when we decided to start a family. dumb rookie mistake, should have kept it, because we really miss it.

Think when the time is right we will get a mustang convertible as a 3rd car cruiser...
