Default Should I get a yellow mustang?

I have the opportunity to buy a 2002 gt, thats yellow. Everyone around me shuns me for even being interested in a yellow mustang, but theyre old as hell. Of course I would add black - mach 1 chin spoiler, shaker hood scoop with the black thing around it, black bumper inserts, black rocker stripes. Just like a yellow mach 1. What do you all think?

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing you'll get about 10-15 if you put a functional shaker hood on.

Screaming yellow is the only yellow worth getting.

If you can post pictures of the car, maybe my opinion could be swayed. Not a lot of zinc yellow stangs look good though...ask anyone, they generally suck.

Get the car if you want it.

Do NOT buy the shaker if you are looking to add power.

And what is wrong with your car/

Man, I love yellow. Black was my first choice, yellow was my second. Yellow with black accents = droolworthy.

Yellow with black = sexy

Black with yellow = ugly

Funny how that works.

Funny how black with yellow accents would look bad though.

Me too! I had nothing at all at 16 years old. At 17, I had a beat up fox body that wouldn't impress anyone and now... i have an ugly slowstang with a chewed up front bumper and foggy headlights. I can't wait till I get out of college and can afford something half-decent.

Haha, my first mustang was my '93 Fox when I was 18. I still have it. It is an uglier even slower stang with a chewed up and paint chipped front bumper and foggy headlights with some rust around the moon roof that doesn't even work, the a/c and heater doesn't work, the power door locks don't work, and it has a few dents and dings in the body and has algae growing on it because I never wash it. But, it has a pretty bad-*** aftermarket stereo in it!

Over the time I daily drove my '93 (2004-2008) before it stranded me in a parking lot and I had enough of it being a pain in the ***, I finally said 'enough is enough and I'm tired of having a car that breaks down on me', I had saved enough to be able to afford my '05 and I couldn't be happier. It was definitely worth the wait.

Haha yeah, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. I could buy a 2004/2005 GT right now and afford the car payments, but if I wait another year or two, I'll be able to afford the 2011 one. I think it'll be worth the wait.
