Default Just got my 2012 Mustang GT Premium

I am a new member from Alexandria Louisiana.I have owned 2 96 GT's in the past and have always wanted another Mustnag but had to own trucks because of all of our toys we had to haul. Well my wife now has an SUV that can pull all of our toys except our camper but we are getting rid of it anyway so Got rid of my F-250 and bought a 2012 GT Premium. So enough of the talk here are some pics.








And the last picture you will all notice something that I didn't want in the car but my wife said she wanted to drive also and she can't drive a stick. Yes it is an AUTOMATIC, that is the only down side to the car, but it is still crazy fast.

Welcome from Atlanta. Nice in black. Don't let that automatic fool you. It's not like the old SLIP, BUMP trannys. You can always manually shift without missing a gear! CONGRATULATIONS.

Welcome and Congrats on the awesome ride! I arguedwith myself between Auto and manual, ended up getting a good deal on a manual though.

Very nice, I'm jealous I wish I had a 2012 5.0 GT.

Too bad they put a front license plate, you really should get that removed and add painted bumper plugs.

Thanks fo rall the replies.

03gt04mach1, tahnks for the welcome and the auto is not that bad just loved my two sticks I had before.

onederful100, thanks, the 2012 GT's must have come out about a month ago because this one was on the lot for about 30 days, I bought it with 30 miles. The only diffrence in the 2012 and the 2011 is you can select what type of feel you want on the electonic steering assist (Comfort, Standard, or Sport).

skyline247, Thanks

modman, Thanks, I'm getting used to auto, Its actually nice when the kids are in the back seat and I don't have to use a clutch while the seat is pushed up.

alkemist and suttanstyle, Thanks, The dealer tag is about to be replaced, I have a printshop about to print a license plate that I custom made. I'll get a pic up of that soon.
