Default What Should I Do?

I can't drive yet, but when I get my permit I will be driving my dad's 2004 Mustang. I know that by the time I am old enough to drive the car will have over 100k miles on it. I want to modify it but I was wondering if I should even bother since it has so many miles on it already. As far as I know, it's completely stock. (My dad hasn't done any mods, but we bought it used.) So should I keep this car or get a new one? Either way I'm getting a Mustang because they are my favorite.

For the most part the car has been taken care of properly. It needs some paint in places and new rims (3 of them are scratched/bent and the other one is the wrong kind (came with the spare tire, I don't remember what happened to the original.) The first thing I'm going to do is get a set of Bullitts and a new front bumper. Thanks for the help.

Well I guess if it were me I would be wondering how many more miles your dad will be putting on it. How many more years till you can start driving on your own?
