Brand New Mustang Owner, Brand New Here!
Hi everyone!
In a very concise nutshell (since I could go on and on about my new-found silvery stallion and the years of wanting and obsessing over owning one someday) I have been saving for THREE years straight, not touching my savings with auto-deposit with each and every paycheck - until the day finally came just last week when I was able to seek out, and purchase my lifelong dream car.
I found, by chance, the absolute perfect and ideal envisioned vehicle with all the options, color scheme, and mind boggling low mileage while searching on AutoTrader in June, and the rest is a very quick and exciting history.
I contacted the owner, got a cashier's check, drove hours upon hours to his state, looked it over, and fell in love! Now, this Silver Steed is in my garage, and just waiting for a first proper detail (I work overtime every week, and without exaggeration wake at 6am and get into bed between midnight and 1am).
Check out my signature for my future plans, I'm in hot pursuit once again of saving up as much as possible as Summer brings Fall, and Fall ushers in Winter and allows me time to slip that customer-fit car cover on my beauty, and use those long Winter months here in Ohio to build up my cash flow and dwell on the forthcoming Spring season when I'll bulk up my horsepower DOUBLE to the wheels care of Kenne Bell!
I look forward to being here, learning, and learning some more! Thanks for having me, and all the best

Thank you both! So happy to be here, even the links from the advertisers and sponsors are helpful to look around and see what all is out there!
As far as the mods, some things I didn't mention was buying the Passport Escort 9500IX Radar Detector and pairing it with the Laser Interceptor Front/Back System to jam all incoming attempts to clock the Maximus, haha. Other than that, I will be adding one Alpine Type-R subwoofer with a 500wt Alpine amplifier Perhaps down the road, a LONG time down the road I'll upgrade all the speakers from the factory Shaker-500 system, but it sounds so good to me, I'm not motivated to invest any money into right now.
Next up, the wheels...
PS: I'm going to post a thread about this, but wanted to ask you two fellows if you have a list of good Mustang websites to visit for each of the following: PERFORMANCE PARTS AND UPGRADES and also ACCESSORIES AND COLLECTIBLES like clothing, signs, posters, etc

Thanks everyone! Going to get the smaller items like wheels/tires and a radar detector/laser interceptor out of the way before putting the car into storage hopefully. The weather stays nice until September, even October here in Ohio. I love the Fall, favorite season by farrrrrr, and I can't wait to take Maximus out in the crisp weather!
