Default Finally, a car with some flavor!

I recently spent 9 hours alone in the 'Stang (driving up to school), and it kind of hit me how much I love this car. Not just enjoy it, but LOVE it. Like an emotional attachment. Like I would take this car over many other more expensive, better performing automobiles.

I was cruising along next to a concrete median, and I popped her into third and stood on it, and the howl was amazing. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. This car has so much character that makes up for any small downfalls it might have. It feels more human than any other vehicle I've experienced.

I'm glad I got involved with the Mustang culture as early as I did; it's like a hidden benefit package that comes with the car (for free!).

Anyone else? I fully plan on keeping this car forever and doing whatever it takes to keep her running!

Cincinnati, OHto Ithaca, NY... lots of empty roads and lots of random cops spread out to make having fun a little risky... I had great weather, though, windows down most of the trip until it started getting a little cold up north.

I've had some cars that many people would consider nicer than a Mustang. I cared for them, washed them hand, waxed them, modded them, etc.

Yet I love the 'Stang so much that I went out and bought an Explorer so I could leave her in the garage. My family looks at me funny but I know the stang is happier in the stable, and that makes me happy.

I teach 3 classes online. When I get stressed, I jump in the Mustang and just ride for 20 mins or so.

Value? Priceless!

They are a lot of fun even for a short drive. It's even more when you can open it up on a long country road.
