I can't think of any cons...

Get one (if you can!).

Pros:
Permanent grin

Cons:
No support group to help break the addiction of owning one yet.

On the bright side, by the time you find an 05 GT that you can purchase, that should all be worked out. I figure there will be several available in 07 when peopel trade them in on Shelbys.

BOONDOCK!

Don't buy one!

If you do, you wife will leave you because you will keep spending the night in the garage instead of with her.

You will get into fights with your teenagers because you wont' want to let them drive it!

You will continually have to allow extra time to talk to people at the gas station because they keep wanting you to show them your car! (Bad when your in a hurry!)

You will be constantly badgered by the Police wanting to give you speeding ticket - - and/or excessive acceleration tickets (Who knew about THAT one!)

If you don't buy one - it will leave one for someone who wants one really really really really really bad! and there is a shortage ya know!

Young hot sexy women will always be smiling at you while waiting for the light to change!

Nope... if I were you dude... Under no circumstances would I buy one!

"I love your car."
"Um, thanks."

People do hound you about it. Almost every one of my friends has wanted a ride (ow! twist my arm) and I've had more stoplight conversations in the month I've owned it than I've had in the rest of my life combined. Driving through town, people will roll down their windows to talk - they ask me how I like it and how it drives. Little kids hang out of windows and give me thumbs up. Something like that happens almost every time I drive it. It's insane.

In a way, I can't wait until everyone has one so I can just drive in peace lol.

No test drive needed for me! Just give me the keys!

Owning a 2005 GT is a dirty job, but I guess some one has to live it. I find myself making lame excuses just to drive her. What can I say I'm Hooked on the Mustang.
