BUY THE HOUSE! Buy things that appreciate, lease things that depreciate (esp. if you can deduct the lease as a business owner). Be happy with the Focus, build it right and drive it cuz even with the Mustang you'll always be longing for a faster, sexier more expensive ride. It's a dangerous spiral! When I was looking at cars last year I looked at an Audi A4 1.9T going for over 20K; I figure the Focus at 12K plus mods will kick the Audi, plus insurance was way cheaper. Plus I dig the look on people's faces when they say "you drive a Focus?"! :wacko:
