Question Central, what would you do?

Car is scheduled to be repaired and will be back on the road in early February. Should I keep the car or dump it on eBay and get something else? What would you do?

For those who have not seen the car, it looks like a sleeper (my intention) but has a great exhaust note, pulls like a raped donkey as a naturally aspirated 318 cui, and has a full Maximum Motorsports suspension including their torque arm setup. This car moves... but in the end, it's still looks like an ordinary Mustang.

Bumper is gonna be repainted out of pocket. Call up Brooks Auto Sales, Inc. in Oilville VA at (804) 784-5251 for a cheap front bumper, as they have plenty of salvage parts in stock. It's not too cheap to repaint, but I'll prob have Fletcher's on Mountain Rd (behind the Wawa) paint mine.

Do you wanna buy the sound setup? Nice Kenwood eXcelsion head unit with remote matched to their 400w amp and 1 farad capacitor mounted on a hidden amp rack behind the rear seats, and two 12" Boston Acoustic Pro speakers in a box. Will prob take it out before it hits eBay if I sell the car.

Who needs a house. Now, to answer the question. I would get either the M5 or the Factory Five Roadster. The Roadster is neat as hell, but the M5 kills it in practicality. So, after owning and driving a totally impractical car, I would say the M5.
