New member with new Mustang

Hello all,

I hadn't intended to trade in my DD beater 94 Accord, but an encounter with a piece of semi-truck debris changed my mind. I had wanted a new Corvette, but am not quite ready for that yet - new baby in the house and my wife has not returned to work yet. So last night I picked up a 2008 Vista Blue Mustang GT/CS. I had to dig around to find one without the Appearance Package, as I am not a big fan of hood scoops. 47 miles on it, now, and I really like it. This is my fourth Mustang, having previously owned a '90 5.0L vert, 97 GT vert and 98 Cobra. I had sworn off Mustangs after the 98 spent more time in the shop than on the road, but I really love my 08.

I am also restoring a 67 Camaro SS, so I guess I play both sides of the Ford/Chevy card, with some Honda thrown in (wife's Pilot).

Glad to be here!

Robert

I will post some pics when I can take some out in the sun - it was near 9 when I got home last night!

As for the Corvette, you bet I still plan on owning one, it'll just have to wait a while. Chevy really got the C6 right, and with the improvements on the 08 model, it's a gem. Maybe when my daughter goes off to college in 4 years.

In the meantime, I am going to enjoy the Mustang. Now it's just a matter of which mod comes first!
