Traded in the '03 GT tonight

Had it for a full day now. As bad as this sounds, I don't miss the Mustang at all.

It prob has to do with that fact i've wanted this car for over a year and got one with the exact options and colors i wanted. I'm happy!

Now time to play with the 5.0

I will. I have a 4-day weekend...so i'll get some pics taken by me and not the dealership

I'm actually wanting snow now too to see how it does

Gonna find a nice empty parking lot and do some AWD donuts

Some first pics of it!

Looks good! Have the windows tinted, maybe 15-20%. What was the total price?

~23K + TTL.

It's a little on the high end for an '06 G35x but that's because it is in above avererage condition, low miles and is loaded with every option. Like i said before, it has everything I wanted for features and colors. If i were to order this car brand new, it would pretty much be the way it is. For that reason, i didn't mind paying a little more. Some of the 05-06's i looked at were around $19-22K. I prob was going to go after one right around $20K until i saw this one.

Just this morning i paired my phone up to the bluetooth feature in the car and was making calls. I was giggling like a schoolgirl once i had figured it out!


Tint is a definite. I'll start getting quotes soon. Legal limit here in MA is 35%, not sure if i want to go darker than that.

LOL! I guess you kept your plates, probably eventually for the 88, right? You need one of those "My other car is a 5.0" license plate frames.

Yup, i kept the plates specifically for the 5.0. Hopefully i can get that car drivable this coming summer and transfer it over to the Fox. Looks kinda silly having GDDYUP on a 4-door sedan, even though i got a ton of compliments on it when it was on the Mustang.

I can deal with it for 6 months. Besides. I just paid the $75 to renew it last month...and didn't want it to go to waste by turning the plate in! I definitely want it on the 5.0 though


I was thinking of a "Rather be hauling ass in my Mustang" custom plate frame though



I'm gonna run it at the track in the spring. The GT was a faster car, but i think this car might be able to squeak out a 14.9.

I think everyone on Stangnet knew what sort of car I've been looking at getting for over a year now
