Thanks to 0% financing, I just got into an '06 GT premium 5spd. The dealer gave me $21k for trade-in on my '04 Mach 1 which I feel was probably better than average.
I used to hang around Stangnet many years ago when I had my '91 LX 5.0, and just wanted to say hello and that it's good to be back. I've been reading a bunch of old posts on the board to get familiar with the car and it's capabilites and shortcommings. And because of those posts, I already have a STB and FRPP/Borla axle-back in the mail. I'm excited to have such a smooth daily driver for my traffic filled 50-mile round trip commute, but I have to get used to this soft clutch pedal and the fact that it engages so far off of the floor.

Sweet!

It took almost 10k for my clutch to get broke in.

Great choice of color! Just like mine, er, my wife's. We also got swayed by the 0/72 financing. I'm damn glad to be getting rid of her New Beetle. What a piece of sh**. A tail light burned out and the manual said to take it to the dealer! Jiffy Lube won't change the oil! What a maint. nightmare.

That looks great - wish my car came with those 18s instead of the fanblade style, they look a lot better IMO.
