Default If you had $1k and a stock mustang, what would you do?
Okay so here is the scenario, you just purchased a 2005 Mustang GT, and you have exactly $1,000 (not including labor) to spend on your car, what would you buy and why?

What options did the 2005 Mustang come with? What type of rims? What packages? Is the car stock?

I would buy a 94-98 sixer(maybe a GT) for a grand and keep the new pony tucked away on those rainy days...

J/K.

I guess gears or suspension...
