Default New ride, and some more time to enjoy it

Hey gang, what's up? It's been a long time, thought I would pop in and say hello. As the thread title stated, I've picked up a new mustang and gone thru a slight career change so I can have at least a little more time to enjoy it. So, the red Shelby is gone, and in its place is a 2015 Mustang GT auto, w/50th anniversary package. I drove one and was incredibly impressed with the S550 platform, so I decided to make a move. I've got a laundry list of stuff I want to do to it, so it should be fun to play with. Thought I would share some pics and just say "hello" to everyone. With the new job, I should have more time to enjoy the car and make some events. I'm still playing music, but at least it's just with one band now instead of two lol.... Anyway, on to the pics....

Thanks JJ, The new car is a LOT of fun in the corners, but not really "exciting" to me in a straight line lol. At least it isn't YET.....

Congrats on the purchase and moving on to the S550! Love the car, always a fan of the 50 year package wheels.

Thanks. If you really like the wheels and are interested in a set, I would make you a deal on them....

I'm going to try to make the HP for Hospice event on the 16th. As of right now I have nothing on the calendar. Plus, if I get some baseline track testing done before then, I might see if Dan will tune it for me while there (that is where the YET part starts getting rectified lol).

Probably so.... I want to do a little research and figure the best plan for occasional road course duty also. It's tough being down 400whp, but it's been so much fun being able to go around a curve. Want to have the best of straightline AND handling, if it's even possible. I've got some planning to do....
