I still get comments, usually while filling up.
My favorite though would have to be shortly after I got it, I was driving past a middle school with a group of 7th, 8th grade boys out front.
They all stopped what they were doing, and as I drove past, one of them yelled "That Mustang is BADDDD ASSSSS".
Nice to see my tax dollars are going towards teaching them the important things.

The girls who work at the gas station I go to always make a big deal about it. I go there several times a week and every single time they tell me its so pretty. I also get thumbs up here and there.

Surprisingly I dont get many random people that compliment me. Friends and family do, but only had like 1 or 2 random people say anything. Maybe its the people here in Fl, or maybe my Stang is just ugly.
I think it is florida. but when i when home to wisconson i had alot more random compliments. come back to tampa same old thing.

it must be where you guys live in florida. i had one of the first 05 gt's in orlando and i got compliments all the time. now that i live in panama city i get even more. i had a state tropper stop next to me yesterday, looked her up and down, gave me a smile and a thumbs up. but i guess thats what you get owning a black stang.

Er... I live right by O town... lol I still get nothing. Even cruising through UCF with my exhaust doesnt seem to turn heads. Even chicks here dont seem to like Mustangs.. I really live in the wrong state. Or maybe I should just change areas. The only people that seem to give compliments are my friends... everytime one of them even sits in my car they have something to say about it (Not sure whether theyre being nice or just really like it). And actually...1 of the 2 compliments Ive gotten from random people was from a Fl state trooper that stopped me to ask what exhaust I had. SLP ftw!

*Forgot I had a country sherriff stop me to say he liked my tail lights too.

yeah some parts of florida you won't get any attention esp in the bigger citiesbecause A LOT of people have flashy cars down there. There are all sorts of car shows, clubs and what not there. You really have to stand out from the others to get compliments.....

I still get lookie-loos, but not near as many as 2 years ago. I figure, as more of this body style is on the road, people are starting to get "numb" to seeing them, and they no longer catch your eye as quickly as they used to.

Mine, however, is a little different looking then the stock mustangs, so she still gets noticed in the parking lots.

The most recent wave of "compliments" I guess are random guys/girls whipping out their cellphone cameras and clicking a pic while walking by my car! I'll probably see photos of my car posted on some forum with the "Is This Rice" title in the post!

I'll never forget the day i picked my car up. i got a call in the morning from the dealer saying it came in and it was going through all their checks and it would be sitting in the show room for me.

so after the longest afternoon at work in history, i'm at the dealer doing the paper work and everyone coming into the show room kept trying to get in and sit down, but it was all locked up and one of the other dealers would say "sorry its sold to that guy over there" and they'd say something like "wow nice car". but the BEST part was when i was leaving and pulling it out of the show room, a guy in a mini-van with is window down just says "nice car" and just had this look of "damn...i drive a minivan, damn family" haha.

my boss said something the other day, and the ladies...well they love it .
