Today, I parked my car in the parking lot at work, and I waived to the parking lot attendant, and his eyes popped out. I told him I upgraded from my Firebird (understatement). So then when I left a couple hours later, he stops me and goes, "You know, about 8 different people stopped as they passed your car and after they parked, they got out and walked over to it to look. They were looking through your windows and everything. That's such a beautiful car!"

Man, that made me feel good. Then as I was driving home, I'm in the right lane, and this BMW was in the left lane. We're both going slow, as there was a lot of traffic. We get to a stand still, and notice he keeps looking at me, then he lowers his window. I lower mine, and he goes, "Is that the new Mustang?"

I said, "Yes it is!"

He was like, "How many horses?"

I responded, "300".

He goes, "How big is the engine?"

I responded, "4.6L V8".

He smiled and said, "Nice car!"

And we drove off.

This is a dude in a 55,000 dollar beamer, and is admiring my ride.

And because I haven't seen one other GT in the Chicago area yet, man, I feel awesome about it!

I'm sure everyone is getting that same kind of attention. Isn't it great?

I've had people flag me down in parking lots. I've only seen one other 05 GT is the Los Angeles area to date - and I got my Fire red 05 GT on October 19th.

The only other 05 GT I saw was a white one sometime before Oct 19. When I saw the white 05 GT, I knew that this was an omen that I was destined to own one

Right, and just as you were influenced, is as much as we're going to influence others.

And the person who receives theirs as a gift and pays nothing, should they laugh at you?

Glad you have to experience what every 05 owner is experiencin on a daily basis,,,,
but keep in mind that any person would be intressted in the new looks of the Mustang no matter how much they coughed up for their BMW or Jag or whatever,,,, the reason is because we are talkin about a new retro bodystyle of one of the most known american cars ever made!!
so dont pe surprised if you see Viper driver's givin you thumbs up!!

I've got the LX for sale on autotrader.com It should be gone on Saturday. I've had it over 9 years it tough to let it go but all I got to do is just look at the 2005 and it brings a to my face. I'll post some pic's when I get some sunny days here in TX.
