No other word for it. Picked up my grabber blue V6 Friday from the dealer. Upon arrival they had it in the showroom parked next to a light blue 66 GT stang. First thing they told me was to look at the sticker. My name was on it! Yep that's my car! After doing the paperwork and chatting for a while, it was time to say adieu and they opened the doors started up my car and out she went into the world. I about **** my pants when they started it up. Incredible sound!!! I jumped into the drivers seat and off I went. I haven't had this much fun since my 65 GTO. The engine and manual tranny and clutch are just superb. I can't stop driving this car. The "F" in Ford really stands for fun! Today I washed and Ice'd the car. The paint is flawless. The wheels on the premium package are sweet. This has been the bes new car purchase experience in my lifetime and I've had quite a number of them. his car is more incredible and more fun than my '93 Vette. Sorry to gloat, I'm just a happy man. This is my first Ford and I'm taken.

Welcome to our world. Don`t tell everyone our secret. If you do everyone will have one. Well actually everyone should have one, the world would be a better place.

It makes me wonder why so many people drive SUV's, trucks, hybrids and sedans. Has noone test driven any of these cars? Sure is a lot more fun to drive than the above cars for sure. I guess muscle is making a small comeback with the Camaro and Challenger, but Ford definately hit a home run with the reintroduction of the Mustang some years back.

No offense to the V8 boys, but this little six is going to get me in some big trouble! It's all the engine and more than I expected. I'm happy I saved the money I would have spent on the same car with the 8.

I took my window sticker and had it laminated today in preparation for some car shows.

Oh Happy Day!

Really? whoa I thought trying to pull anything would just be like pulling a trailer with a lawn mower. (I saw a neighbor trying to do that, his lawn mower went straight into the air :P )

Didn't mean any offense.
