Default Newish member, and my first car! :)

Heya! been checking out this site for sometime and read almost every post I could get my hands on and it's been extremely helpful! I just purchased my first car, a 2000 mustang GT 5speed. Picking it up tomorrow from the lot. I driven stick before but mainly in a old beat up ford ranger, and even then that was over two years ago back when I was 18.

I finally saved up around 9,000 dollars and decided for my first car I wanted something that would last me awhile and be fun in the process. The mustang has perfect interior, it's black on black leather fully loaded beautiful car with brand new bassani catback exuast on it. The only down side I could see coming from this car is the 100,000 miles on it.

The engine runs like new and was owned by an older person and has obviously been taken care of just by feeling how smooth and clean the engine sounds and looks. I just hope I remember how to shift.. hope my clutch will bear with me for the next couple weeks.

This is a picture of the engine bay. no leaks, drives brand new, no weird noises either. Not bad for 103,000 miles.

i'm extremely happy to say the least, specially since this has been the car i've always wanted since I was a child
