Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and say hello. I bought my first Ford vehicle yesterday and what better way to do it....buy a Mustang. I've been a GM owner my entire life since most of my family members have been employed by them.
I found this on craigslist a few days ago and it looked like a decent deal for a nice car. I went up to the house yesterday and spoke with the woman who was selling it. She bought it in '07 with 42,000 miles and sold it to me with 138,000. She used to it primarily drive from state to state for her sales job so its all highway miles. It shows that the car has been babied, every part of it is spotless or mint. The maintainance record on it is impeccable and I had no problem counting out the bills to her. After I left, I took it to a buddy's house for him to look it over. He and his wife have owned Mustangs in the past so I had to take it there. We were able to determine it has a Flowmaster catback, under drive pulleys, a Centerforce clutch, and welded subframe connectors. So here are a few photos of it and my buddy's old Stangs. FYI, I'm a photo whore







My buddy's old 5.0

I got the windows tinted the other day. Limo tint in the back window and 20% on the sides. I love it.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yea, it does suck not being able to drive her. We've had a few decent days so far so I have had it on the road. I'm thinking I'll change the oil and put her away for the year in the next week or so.
