with all the people i see modding Stangs, it always amazes me how many stock GTs that are still up for grabs.

Congrats! And thats not a horrible price! Could have done better but oh well!

And about the people at school... Just dont tell anyone about it! For all they know they could walk by it and think itsa teachers car? 99% of the time people will leave your stuff alone if you dont brag about it.... Kids get jealous.

That's an awesome car, man. I'm looking for one still, either black or that color. I think I'm getting a deal on a black one, but I'm not too sure.

And as far as driving stick, do it the way I did. Find a small hill, get the car to the top, the rear of it pointing down. Let it roll back, then catch the clutch and move back up it. Just roll back and forth and once you master that you'll have NO trouble getting it on flat ground. I learned this way in a Wrangler, and the guy who taught me had a ****in' cliff in his back yard maybe 40 feel from the hill. It was real incentive to not screw up, lol.

It looks like mineral to me. Could have possibly gotten a little bit better deal. But then again, if they are kind of hard to find in your area, then you did good.

I think the dark shadow grey was only availuable in 2004... Could be wrong though!

For '02 there were three colors available, mineral gray and dark charcoal gray, but I'm not sure on the third one.

Welcome to the very exclusive Group of current mustang owers who formally had thunderbirds. I acuatlly just made that up, but you get the point.

Well, I'm actually planning on keeping the bird for my winter beater.

Looks like Mineral Grey to me (See Signature.)

That's the only thing I'd change about my car; I wish I had the 5 speed. I don't know how to drive a standard, yet, but I will learn, and my next will be a manual.

It's really hard to imagine driving my car without a manual transmission. Makes the experience so much more fun and involved. Then again most of the muscle cars of the 60s & 70s were automatic, but still, gotta have that fun factor.
