Default Switched from Mini to Ford Mustang

Hi Everyone,
I just traded in my 07 Mini Cooper S for a slightly used 08 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. I originally got the Mini because it's front wheel drive and I live up by Chicago. Two reasons for the change; first, I was having multiple problems with the MCS and second, I have a friend who has a 350Z and he switched to snow tires and has no more problems with Chicago winter driving. So I made the change and I absolutely love this mustang! Why the heck did I wait so freaking long to get one. Oh well, I've got it now and it is a pure joy to drive. I love all kinds of performance cars and besides the mechanical issues I had with the Cooper it really was a blast to drive (it really is like a go kart). But with that said, the MCS sure as heck is not in the same class as the mustang! As soon as we get some nice days up here in Chi Town I'll take some pics and post them!

Welcome from another Chicago area Mustang Gt owner - although mine is a hardtop.
If your car doesn't have a cold air kit & tuner you will want to make that your first purchase.
