Hey guys, new to the forum here and in fact new to the Mustang period!

Yesterday I picked up my 2008 GT in Vapor Metallic Pulled it off the lot with 5.5 miles on the odometer. I've found every excuse I could to drive the car today, whether it be driving down the block to my daily Starbucks run @ work (which I always walk) or going to the store to buy a gallon of Milk even though we already have one.

Yeah, I'm stoked

cubicle....welcome and continue to have fun!

for some reason i do the samething...i was cracking up reading your post! just got mine in march and i got 13k on the clock.

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome. I'm def gonna be picking your brains for mod information in the near future.

My plans (short term) are...

1. Tint
2. HID Kit for Headlights & Fogs
3. Catback Exhaust System
4. Cold Air Kit

And since I used to work for DiabloSport (and live close by) I may see if I can get the car into their tuning facility for some testing and tuning.

I honestly dunno where to go from there The car looks perfect as it is so I'm not really gonna go for any body kits, rims or a spoiler.

Will post pics tomorrow!

The first week I even drove mine down to the mailbox, or just sit in it and play retro CD's like Bruce Springstien "born to run" or Meatloaf "bat out of hell". It's been along time since I've had so much fun with a car, it's like the 70's all over again minus the 8 track hee hee !!!!!!!!!! Good luck and enjoy !!!

Welcome.

Nice Stang. The Vapor is beautiful, not to mention the name alone sounds Badazs.

LOL

anticubicle · Aug 5, 2007

I've had ONE person tell me they don't like the color thus far (my sister) LOL

We sisters have a knack for comments like that. And she is driving a what?

Congrats on the new ride, I'm also driving my first ever Mustang GT and I'm loving it. I came from a POS mazda 626, that had a whopping 98 hp at the wheels. Needless to say, the difference is unbelievable.

Having always been an old muscle car fan ( I would be driving a 69 Chevelle SS with a 468 big block right now if it were only a little more practical as a daily driver...), I'm loving the S-197. I've had my 07 stang for almost one full year now, and I can't help but smile every single time I start it up and hear that rumble....

This is my 4th V8 Stang(was 3 years in between this and the last one). I was driving a diesel Jetta with a whopping 90HP @ the crank!!!!! It will be a year on the 29th of this month I've had the GT and I still find excuses to drive it In fact, the battery and state inspection are both dead on the Jetta as I haven't even driven it since Nov(it gets mid 40s MPG)! The Stang is just WAYYYYY too much fun!!!!!
