Default LOVING THE NEW 08 DARK CANDY APPLE RED

hey guys i have put 400 miles on my new 08 dark candy apple red, used to be redfire. i got a fully loaded minus the glass roof, shaker 1000, and nav. has ambient lighting, which i kinda like. thought it would be ricey but it actually looks good. had to keep the 3.55 gears, manual, hid headlights, interior upgrade package, black leather seats, which arent as comfortable as the cloth seats.
also got 20 mpg this weekend drivin her around in town. thats 5-7 mpg better than the 07 i had ever got. never got in the 20's unless i was on the interstate, and was then only 22. this one is gettin 20 in town. i have pic taken but cant remember how to post them. can i just have them saved on my computer in a file and just straight up load them to the thread? or do i have to use photobucket to get them on here? need help on this and how do i change my screen name?
and yes all you guys that have been saying the redfire is the best color, YOUR RIGHT. I thought i loved the torch but the redfire puts it to shame. looks awesome when its clean. and doesnt show as much dirt.

yup, I get so many complements on the Redfire. Has a little pit of pearl in it. Looks great.

I agree there. My previous '95 V6 mustang had cloth seats and were 1000x more comfortable than these leather seats. But, these leather seats are much easier to clean and look nicer. Oh well.

you can either upload them from your home computer or host them at a site like imageshack or photobucket then past the link.

I love my cloth seats =D

My 94s cloth seats were softer and coushier though, but the new ones are alot easier to clean.

I havent had a chance to put it on the interstate yet for a long run. but i would imagine i will be gettin around that when i do. going to atlanta in 2 weeks for a concert run and will see how she does then. i hope its 27-28. then i can tell my dad my v8 mustang gets as good of gas miles as his fusion does which is what he wanted me to get instead of this mustang. no wont have any arguement anymore if i can get what you get on the interstate. the instant mpg bar graph on the message center comes in handy. can see what saves gas and what burns it. i am shifting before 2.5k when in my old one i was shifting closer to 3k-3.5k rpms. which keeps the bar graph at no bars.
