Traded in my 06 GT Boss clone.
No regrets here either. Someone in Indiana has a great car.
I'm very fortunate to have owned 2 Boss 302's.
Had a 70 Boss quite a few years ago, had to sell when child #3 came along, priorities.

Used my slush/savings fund that was going to be a 1968 Mustang GT- had one when i was a young married GI, in 75, it was sold to buy u-haul trailer tow vehicle after tech school. Kept saving for that 68 GT but never could save enough to get the one i wanted/ or was it because of kids, houses, college etc.

Anyhow- was getting closer to buying that 68 GT and along comes the new 2012 Boss-

I got the Yellow Blaze Boss and life is good.
 
This is the first hot rod I've ever owned. There was never the right to buy one. Wife, kids, house, college etc.. But when the Boss came out, the timing was perfect.

Sold my 64 1/2 D-code (289-4V), 4 speed convertible. Will always have some regrets, but driving the new Boss is plenty enough therapy. The 64 1/2 has a happy new home in SoCal.

That's a beauty. Enjoy your Boss.

I sold my 1969 AMC AMX 390 4-speed Go Pack car to get the Boss, and I did it for the same reason VMGTI123 sold his Chevelle: Every mile on the car lowered the value, and then there was the recurring nightmare of getting rear ended by some texting moron in an SUV.

The AMX was awesome, but the Boss is much more of a car.

Another RSX-S to Boss 302 owner! I kept the RSX as my daily though. $300/year for insurance (liability only) Plus the car has been hit a few times by other people so it's good reliable daily for driving in parts of town that have bad ground clearance.

Back to the subject, I sold shares of Apple and Nvidia stock. :)

I had to sell myself on the idea of purchasing a domestic automobile.

That hadn't happened since I purchased a 1982 Mustang GT new.

It was a reliable car but of terrible quality.

Traded in my '11 GT mainly because it was black. I'm way too OCD about a clean car to have a black toy.
