Bah... I swear, every time you go out for a drive, I'm never out on the roads... I'm still waiting to see your car on the road sometime. :P

Our cars are almost identical, though, if I recall correctly.

No, I got my 'stang at Zimmerman in St. Charles. I test drove a Vista Blue 5-speed at Ron Hopkins, but since I have so little experience with driving stick, I decided to give in and get a auto. I didn't want to have to deal with getting myself up to speed on a manual during winter. It was probably a good idea, too, since it started snowing right after I got my car. (day after Thanksgiving) I'm glad I didn't get that manual, honestly. I mean, there are days when I really wish I was slamming gears and such, but that car was almost a base model. The one I have now has ever package I want, and it's in yellow with the black leather interior. A color I've been wanting since I started liking the Mustang. Besides, next time, maybe if I get a GT or something, I'll make sure to give myself enough time, and get the 5-speed.

This really belongs in S&S. But good kill, and I am glad you met one of the cool LS1 guys (we are out there). Since I work in that area maybe we run into each other when the weather is nice, I'd like to line up with you

I hear ya, my wifes yellow one is loaded too but she hates leather so chose a fully loaded Pony with no leather, in my mind a bad idea and she has changed her mind regarding leather since I got my GT. Maybe in a few years she'll upgrade to a screaming yellow GT, we'll see.
