Hey folks, it’s been a while since I’ve been out here (save for a post a month or two ago it had been several years!). I just traded in my once beloved 2004 Mach 1 and purchased a low miles, like new 2017 GT Premium. It’s Arctic White with the Black Accent package and I absolutely love it. My Mach 1 was becoming a bunch of little issues that were frustrating, plus it had lots of little squeaks, rattles, clunks, etc and it just wasn’t fun at all anymore. There was a time when I would have said I wanted to keep it forever but those days are gone. She was fun and will be missed, but the new ride is simply fantastic.
So what is everyone doing to their GTs these days? I am so new to this platform that I’ve had to pull out the owners manual a couple of times already.

. I know quite a bit about everything from 1965-2004 (except for the Mustang II). My first car, back in 1983, was a 1973 Mach 1. From that point on I was bitten by the bug (or maybe Cobra one of these days). My 04 Mach 1 was built for turns and it handled like a slot car - it was a lot of fun. I always thought you can’t drag race on the street (well, you’re gonna attract a lot of attention), but you can have fun pushing your car into the twisty roads without getting into trouble (usually)...plus, to me, I love road racing. That’s real racing to me. I certainly don’t wanna take anything away from those who do their racing in a straight line, but I just prefer the turns - much more challenging and fun to me. To each their own.
