Alright its been two weeks since I got my stang and here's a bit of an update. I absolutely love this car. For the price (or cheaper) I can't think of a car I'd rather get. The V8 is amazing, the exhaust is awesome, the car is just plain ol' beautiful. However, there are some things I didn't expect. Today I found out I had to get a new gas tank (it pours out the bottom after it clicks at fill up). This isn't TOO bad because I work at Ford Service and I can get it done with no hassle.
The ride is also not really what I expected. I don't know if its the lack of the IRS but bumps are taken hard. When the roads are smooth there are no complaints but every little rivet in the road goes CLUNK. The trans makes some unusual noises but I can deal with that.
The worst and best thing about this car is the attention it receives. I get people in civics that fly past me on the highway at 100mph thinking they're faster than me because they can reach top speed and go by while I obey traffic laws. Then there's the occasional older guy in the 40th Anniversary GT that likes to rev at me and look cool. And always the guys in the Vette boasting how their car that almost costs twice as much is faster. But on the other hand lots of looks and lots of thumbs up. Just hard to get used to. Especially the people thinking all I wanna do is race.
All in all I give the car a 9 outta 10 in my book. Just awesome. (Could use some more power though
)

The only thing i get nervous about is washing her. i bought all the expensive stuff from meguiars but im still not confident enough in the product. i washed it once because on my way back from the dealer it started raining, but now im keeping it out of the rain t'il i store it in a couple of weeks. Its hard to wash a vehicle when its 5 degrees celcius. enjoy your car, i know im enjoying mine.
