So ~3 weeks ago, I bought my new 06 Mustang GT in Manhattan, New York City. I knew at the time I had to be in San Francisco by Memorial Day to start my new job at Electronic Arts. And so the natural decision was made: I was going to break in my new car the right way, with a 3400 mile drive from Manhattan to San Francisco through New Jersery, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, (Montana for about 5 minutes), Idaho and Nevada. I left at 11:30 am Tuesday and arrived last night at 12:30 am. Now that I am in San Francisco for a little while, I can get started on some mods. Anyway, here are a few pics of the car from differant states, let me know what you think and what kind of long hauls you guys have taken your 'Stangs on.

Thanks for looking!

Edit: Oh, and only 1 Ticket the whole way! Elko, Nevada. 97 in a 75, construction zone. It was an expensive one. The guy that pulled me over said I had been tagged by 3 other officers and the APB was out to pull over a Black Mustang with New York plates. Apparently I should avoid that town ever again.
