Default How many 05 stangs at work?

At the office i work in there are about 30 personnel. I drove my Redfire 05 GT to work in April and showed it off. Lots of compliments and coveting. Three weeks later, a coworker shows up with a silver V-6. Last week another coworker drove in with a light blue Gt and today, yet another one drove in with a Sonic blue GT. I do believe i started something good. Anyone else experienced this?

There are 250 people in our bulding. I had the only '05 until yesterday, when a black V6 arrived. She had it on order for over 2 months.

The guy that got his yesterday got a Sonic blue like yours (when yours was stock). He got soooo lucky. He went to the local dealership over the weekend and nothing was on the lot. He went downtown yesterday and just happened to see a black V-6 on the lot and stopped to look. A saleman immediately approached him and told him they had some more in the back. All were V-6 EXCEPT the one with a "sold" sign on it, a beautiful Sonic blue manual 5 speed. The salesman checked on it and found out a customer had ordered it but bought a Roush while waiting. Someone stuck a sold sign on it and never bothered to check the status of the owner. He took a quick drive and that was it. He hasnt quit smiling and walking on air all day. Paid MSRP of course but $30,378. out the door aint too bad from what i've seen. Got all the bells and whistles except the shaker 1000.

I work on a contract of 1200 people. There are a multitude of Mustang owners (one has two or three Fox bodies). My boss drives an '04 GT Anniversary 'vert. No '05's except mine that isn't here yet. We have a temp that comes into town for a few days each week.
This week, her rental is a white V6 '05 coupe and SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT. Of course she didn't even know it was an '05. Geez.
Funny - it's an exact match to the V6 I test drove in March. If they didn't make the GT - I'd have bought a v6 but I just had to have more power... Uhhhh Uhhhh Uhhhhhhhhh!

Right now I'm the only one, but I'm sure there will be more. There are alot of older model mustangs though.

Thats a sweet lookin V6 ponytx. I really like what you did with the stripes. I think it looks better when the stripes end at the front of the hood like yours.

my work's parking is in the parking structure of a 3 story mall.
Most of the vehicles there are SUVs and hopefully one day they'll all flip over and get off the road!
I especially hate it when they insist on BACKIN IN to their parking space. That's just rude! why do they do that? Is it cause there are so many criminals and they need to make a quick exit after a day of shoplifting?
Most of the people at my work are driving trucks and import cars.

200+ at my office, and I'm the only one with an '05 that I know of. Of course, about 150 off the people at my office drive company vehicles.

I drove mine to work a few times for the fun of it.... It's flattering when there is a bunch of people at any given time standing around it looking at it.

Not sure how many people are in our building - typical 3 story office building, I'm guessing 200-250.

There are 3 '05 GT's, my black one, a silver, and a windveil blue.
