Default w00t! Welcome me to the family.

So after years of driving sub 100 horsepower cars I finally got into something fun to drive. Bought this 06 GT w/4500 miles last weekend and drove it back to MT from Salt Lake. Yeah I know black is a bitch to keep clean but everyone (including me lol) loves how it looks. Right now the car is stock except for the wheels. Later this summer I plan on an intake and tune. Shorty antenna is on the way. Oh and fuzzy dice. I know some people hate them but I don't care. I want a set.

A couple minor gripes about the car. Some scratches and rock chips on the finish. I have a weird crinkling noise coming from the rear deck area that I can't figure out. But other than that perfect.

Strangely my roomate who has an account here under "Mishri" also has a Mustang GT. His is an 07 fire red. I'll have to get a picture of both of them in the garage and put it up. hehe

Yeah no kidding. Shorty already purchased off ebay (8") for $15.

Quite honestly dudes I'm a little scared to push the car much. I've had very little experience in RWD cars and especially any with reasonable horsepower. I know how to drive a manual transmission but I've got no experience trying to power shift, do burnoffs, etc..

Is there a FAQ or anything like that for total newbs like me?

Mods I want to do are intake and tune plus some gears. Will do the first two later this summer.
