Default I swear...I only went to take a look

Ive been toying with the idea of trading up to a 2011 GT. I went to my local dealer today to look at a "race red" mustang JUST to see what the color looks like in person....again.

Several hours later I leave with this beauty. A brand newish (only 1500 miles) 2011 5.0 convertible with: premium package, HID's, Navigation, heated seats, side scoops, etc I LOVE it!!

Sorry the picture is kind of crappy...it was taken with a cell phone. I will get some better ones tomorrow.

I admit....I looked at this car a few months ago and didn't think I could get into the color. At the time I was hung up on getting black. After remembering how hard it is to keep black clean and thinking I want something a little more eye catching...I wanted a color that would stick out a bit. Red was now my top pick.....Yellow did take a little getting used to, but I already love the yellow color. And I'm really glad I went with it. Being different is a big plus for me. Bring on the summer time!

Out with the old (my 2010 v6) and in with the new
