Hi all,

Just registered but have been lurking for awhile. Anyway, in October I picked up my silver and black '06 convertible GT. Never owned a Mustang before but have always loved the old classics. In fact that was exactly why I had to get one of these new ones, the retro styling just caught me hook, line and sinker. Well that and that sweet 300hp V8. I love this car. Mine is auto (I know, I know), it was the hardest decision to make for me and I went over and over it, in the end the auto won out. I live in Chicago and the constant traffic had to be taken into consideration. Mine has the premium interior upgrade in all black. I have installed only a K & N air charger and a plenum cover just for cosmetics. I also bought a place this year that has a heated garage so the decision to get the convertible was a cinch. I always wanted one and never had one before so it's pretty sweet.

I was driving a BMW X5 but, as I said, had become completely obsessed with new Mustangs and decided I was going to get one at the end of my lease. Luckily I had checked everything out far enough in advance and ordered mine back in August. In October I got my order! 3500 miles later and I love it all the more!

Oh, just as an interesting little sidenote, within a month of me buying the convertible stang, my brother (I think subconsciously feeling like he has to one up me or something) went out and bought a '69 convertible corvette with the 427. It's a true beast. I just laugh to myself how funny brotherly competition can be! And, by the way, my Dad is in his glory with both of our cars to fawn over and play with!

Nothing compares to muscle cars.
