A couple of years ago one of my buddies from work had a 94 cobra indy pace car edition that just sounded AWESOME, and looked great too. I asked him one day what kind of exhaust he had and he said flowmaster mufflers and an offroad H pipe. I really loved his car and I always said I would get that combo of exhaust if I ever got one....and two months ago I had my chance to get one. Price was right, and insurance was right.....so now I have my 04 GT with flows and an o/r H pipe. What a wonderful sound my car makes!!!

My love for the Mustang began when I was nine years old. My dad was in the air force, and we moved back from Germany after 7 1/2 years. We went to visit a good friend of his and he had a 64 1/2 coupe, a 66 Coupe and a 66 Convertible. These were the first Mustangs I could remember ever seeing, and from that point on I kept saying I wanted a Mustang. My first one was a 66 that I bought when I was 16 and I still have now (26 right now). I then bought a 98, traded it in on a 2001, and have ordered a 2005. Thats my story.

I come from a long line of Hot Rodders. My real dad had all kinds of hot rods when I was little (440 Road Runner, 427 Vette, etc). I was born in 68, so was when real hot rods were still plentiful. My uncle had a 71 Mach 1. Another uncle had a 67 fastback. The first time I can remember telling myself that I was going to have a hot rod was when another Uncle had a 66 and 67 Chevelle. He was swapping the motors between the two, and he had me out there helping him. I was 9. And when we finished up the day, and he started it up and it roared. I was hooked. I always thought I was going to get a Camaro or Firebird. My stepdad had a 70 Z28 when he married my mom. I was 3 at the time. When I was 15, we moved to Missoula Mt. And the guy I hung around had a 66 coupe. I just fell in love with it. But my mom wouldn't let me get a hot rod. So my first car was a 71 Pinto. The Tranny went out, so my second car was an even worse 71 Pinto. I trashed those cars so bad. Finally when I was almost 17, I talked my mom into letting me buy a Mustang. A guy my dad worked with restored them. So, he took me over to his shop. Inside was a beautiful black 68 coupe. He put a 351 W into it with an FMF Auto Tranny. A week later it was mine. I sold it when I was almost 20. Kicked myself in the *** everyday since. Now I'm married, have 2 kids, and a Big Black 98 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4 inch lift and 35's on it. And wouldn't trade that truck for any car Can't live without a truck. But the wife is now thinking of buying a Mustang. I want a GT. Love the V-8's. But she wants a 6. So, will have to see. Can't do anything until we close on our house in 2 weeks though. Maybe by the end of the summer, I'll have an old one sitting in my new garage. I know I'll have to beg my wife even more than I had to beg my mom though. [:@]

ive always been a ford man, it was bred into me from my ford family, my dad and uncle had stangs when they were younger and my uncle still has one (a 99gt), I have simply always loved them and most of my friends have fast cars so I had to get something to play with too.
