Talking First new car.

I have been debating for a while about getting another car for a daily driver. My newest car is a 1990. All my cars are over 100k miles. I drive 100 miles round trip to get to work.

The car I have been driving has been giving me problems and i have been looking for something else. I was thinking about finding an early '90s 2.3 liter for gas mileage. I was afraid it would have over 100k on it too, and I may still have mechanical problems with it.

I decided to look at new cars. I was thinking about getting a V6 Mustang or a 4x4 Ranger. I looked up the mileage for both and the Ranger gets 19 and the Mustang gets 26. I looked up the V8 Mustang and it gets 23.

I like my Fords and did not want to get a Honda. Gas mileage matters, but not that much. The best one I have is my '87 Bronco II that gets 21mpg so anything above that is good for me.

I decided with the mileage so close between the V6 and the V8 I might as well get the V8.

So after all this talking, here it is my first new car.

2009 Mustang GT Premium with a 5 speed auto. Fully loaded with the glass roof.

Congrats, the glass roof was a nice choice. I love the emblems on the 09's. Now let the mods begin.

Yup looks good man, since you have some older cars Im sure the '09 is an eye opener... and 1st mod which was mine is to get rid of that sailboat mast of a antenna and get a shorty...
