Living in Sweden, I'm sure you're familiar with lagom. The concept of "just enough". I have a friend at work that is married to a native Swede and she explained it to him that it's not good for one to work too hard and stick out from their colleagues, etc... That you can be ostracized or even get treated with belligerence if you work too hard, etc...

Surely your Mustang is not very appropriate with the concept of lagom applied to it. You are "better" than everyone else. Instead of taking the money from your father in laws estate when he passed away, you should have distributed it to all of your neighbors or given it to the Swedish government. That would have been the right thing to do...very lagom-ish.

In America, you don't give your neighbors jack ****. Your father in law dies, you should buy an empty bath tub and bath in a pool of cash to show your neighbors how much better you are. Then they smile and wave and think "I can't wait until my old man dies!"

Unless they are an illegal alien. Then they slash your tires and stuff the ballot box and vote for universal health care...sorry dude...

Anyway - still glad you're enjoying the new ride. You getting any sleep yet?

Its nice to hear a person love his mustang as much as Rudi does. I've been waiting a long time to get mine and I couldn't be happier. Just have to decide if and what I want to change. Ride on Rudi.

oh yes sure do,
i'm english though..my wife is very laid back and doesn't care either way..
yes getting sleep now thanks..still go in the garage 10 times a day and sit in it lol..
still loving how this car drives..got it up to 130mph yesterday and not even the slightest twitch..
looking underneath it seems they added quiet a few things to help the handling..
the hood shape is about the best thing..cuts through the air much better.also slightly more economical..
3 mpg more than the 05.
even mrs hucker (that knows nothing about cars) commented how it steers a lot better and holds the road better..
i'm still blown away tbh...
one thing lads i noticed is the fan is on all the time...even when i start it from cold the fan is on..
is this normal?
maybe it shuts off when u start moving?
have to shut this beauty down maybe next week though..winters coming in.
oh well april's not so far away.

I like it... such low miles, looks clean, and tastefully modified. I typically don't care for 20's but since they aren't blingy chrome or anything, they fit well.

Reminds me of the newer Redline Challenger. It is all black like yours, with red stripe down the side, and very thin red lip on wheels. Very tasteful imo.

Too bad it's not a 5.0 but then you probably would've had to fork over some extra cash

I'm glad winters down here don't warrant putting away my Stang or my bike for that matter. I really like driving this car.
BTW, your car looks great, Hucker!
