Thank you for answering my question.

I'm not looking for trouble. I promise.
I just love my car.
I don't like not knowing anything about it. There was a time when taking care of the car was not my job. Now that I have THIS car I feel like I better protect it! (the mom in me I suppose) I won't let my boy friend work on it. Not only that, I wouldn't want mustang owners to think such a nice car is wasted on an owner like me. lol

lol, your already on the right steps to be a mustang owner, protecting it at all costs, not letting ANYBODY work on her, or him in your case [8D],

so any chance for pics? of the car of course
