Default Saying Hi! New 5.0 owner.

Well my dream of being an American Muscle car owner has finally come true. As of 1/30/12 I am officially a 2012 Mustang GT Premium owner (and the payments that go along with it). Its Race Red BTW. 3.31 gears and HID upgrade. It was the last one on the lot so no option for a 3.73. Atleast Ill get a little better gas mileage. With my spirited driving so far Im only averaging 16.5MPG. Only floored it a couple times, but I get upto 60MPH pretty dang fast. Gonna wait till about 1K before I let her loose a little more.

This has been an exciting week. This forum looks awesome. Lots of useful info and I cant wait to get started doing some upgrades to this lean mean racing machine. Unfortunately my teenage daughter got into a $12k parking lot accident 5 months ago so my insurance rates are gonna suck for the next 6months-1year.

Anyways. Just posting to say HI!
