Default I'm back :)

Hey all,

Well after I traded my Mustang in for a Scion tC, I knew I made a mistake in regards to power and etc - wonderful car, but it wasn't me. However now I am back (around ~2 years later) with a new 2008 White Mustang GT (got to love rebates).

I hope to do a few things soon, but the car has 54 miles on it, so it will be a while till anything is done. Plus I have a extended warranty till 2014, so I can't do anything nuts to the car to void it.

Anyway, I am happy to be back and I will see everyone around soon.

congrats on ditching one of THE MOST OVERRATED cars of all time. My wife had one for about 2 years. Its ok....its not a bad car. Its not a great car. After you get over the roof its not even a good car. Its boring as hell to drive. She now has a VW Rabbit 2.5 5 cylinder w/ a 5speed. She loves it. Also loves driving my 08 GT. Glad you made it back. I drove an 07 VW GTI w/ close to 300ft/lbs of torque after mods and that was boring compared to the stang.

I love my stang, not even sure why I went to a Scion in the first place. Now I have get used to the trans since the Scion is a bit different for some reason. I already heard a grind when going into first and I stalled a few times (feel like such a noob)

I know how to drive a stick, but I guess when you drive a 4 all this time and then go to a 8 - you are bound to have some issues...

extended car warranties are ripoffs:

Good choice of color.
