RE: A spanking blue baby pony!
Thanks everyone for the compliments & welcomes! I was originally wanting one in black but my wife "suggested" that was too evil looking and said the vista blue was a nice colour. In retrospect, she was right. 
Orion_240: Exactly. With the exception of these babies and exotics, pretty much every other car on the road is like popcorn -- all the same and leaves you wanting more even after finishing the entire bag. Ok, strange simile...
petepete: How'd ya guess?
I roadrace a 250GP bike and ride a ratty old zx7 (under the cover) on the street, except not anymore for the next little while, and same goes for driving my shiny new blue baby... had a major getoff (seize, highside, bodyslam) at the track yesterday... rang my bell, broke my collarbone & toe. All I can do now is sit in the driveway and gaze in a codein-enhanced stupor at my stang... kinda hard to shift since it's the right cb that I broke... [:@]

RE: A spanking blue baby pony!
ORIGINAL: Huevos Grande
Ordered her 8 weeks ago, took delivery on Thursday evening, put 600KM's on the clock and can't wipe the perma-grin off my face.
Up until this point I've owned only sewing machine style 4-bangers (couple of X 1/9's, Saturn & Celica) so this whole V8 front engine RWD is quite a new thing for me, and I'm lovin it! I've always wanted a Mustang since I was a tot, but past ~1971 nothing really turned my crank until I glimpsed the S197s. Uber retro, Love at first sight...
Some first impressions...
Good (ok, fantastic):
-*****
-sounds of *****
-great looks
-handles very well for its weight, even stock in the vert
-the roof comes down, like every car's should
-did I say *****, and lots of them?
-cool ability to hang the rear end out when exiting turns... why can't FWD's do that???
-old(er) dudes pulling up to me in their volvos & mercs and saying "nice car"
Kinda strange, but no whining from me:
-needs a locking gas cap... don't want no sugar in there, thanks
-I'm spoiled with automatic headlights, which they seem to have forgotten here
-notchy shift, but I'll get used to it
Bad:
-nothing... what's to hate about such an amazing ride?
