Midlife Crisis bought 2015 GT Convertible
Son is graduating with is Masters of Divinity this month and starts his new job at the end of June. Yes I'm a proud pop! After 6 years of paying tuition my wife and I bought us a toy.
2015 Mustang GT Premium Convertible
Magnetic Metallic
I've always owned manual transmissions but we decided to go with the auto because we are going to use this as a top down touring car. I always said I would never buy a Mustang that wasn't a manual but times have changed. Never say "never". I still have my 6spd manual Xterra that I will keep until it the engine falls out.
We are fighting over who gets to drive it and I hope that continues for years to come!
I'm off Monday and Tuesday. I'm supposed to be rebuilding a retaining wall that is falling but I'm going to use the time to lay down a couple of coats of wax.

Congrats and enjoy! Time to be good to yourself.
I'm tempted to buy a magnetic GT myself,and I too,am leaning toward an automatic.
Never thought that I would say that,as I enjoy the MT of my 04.
Myself,I'm not sure about springing the extra bucks for a vert.I could keep my old vert and have a new coupe for not much more than a new vert would cost.
My biggest problem,no matter would I do,is where to put it.I don't mind having my old car sitting out,but a new one would have to be inside,and that would mean that my '14 Accord would have to be out,and I don't want that either....Such a problem!

We bought our 2013 convertible due to a similar situation- hubby turned 40. He wanted a Porsche GT3, and well that wasn't practical. Somehow I saw practicality in a Mustang convertible. I wanted to add the license plate as "BIGKIDTOY" but instead found a more fitting plate for ours.
I did have a shirt made for hubby for father's day that says "still plays with cars" and has a photo of a 2015 Mustang GT convertible. Ours is on order still ....
Congrats again!
