That's what I'd be driving if I didn't have to worry about snow. Very nice.

And you got it in stick...good man.
:OT:
My current mustang is my daily driver...it shares this duty with my bike. Both get driven, ridden year round in chicago. Although I prefer not to take the bike out when temp drops below freezing.

But seriously nice ride....I wish I had the money for a nice car.

I gotta ask: what was wrong with the truck? Too much of a garage queen (my uncle had one and never touched it. It was like the biggest antique lamp you've ever seen in terms of usefulness)?

I'd really enjoy a 197 myself - and the color (like Paul said) is droolish. Black SS stripes in its future?

stripes? really? you'd put racing stripes on it??? No way dude, I think they look too boy racer.... just an opinion I guess. i'd just drop the bejeezus out of it, gear it, and maybe help it breathe better... or, dare I say it, leave it alone...... no, nevermind, forget I even mentioned that...

nice car... good choice...

its going to stay stock for a while. reliability and comfort at this point is a much greater concern for me in a daily driver than anything else.

except in typical ford fashion, i get 2 miles away from the dealership and the parking brake light, abs light, traction control light all go on solid. the car starts beeping and scrolling "check brake system" across the message center. the awesome thing is there is a sticker on the window stating quality control is job #1.....
