NEWBIE IN OH

Ok, i'm very green here! I just bought my 2nd 'Stang, an all black (no stripes), In 2002 I bought a new 'Stang, a navy blue with cream stripes but then my granddaughter came along so I traded it for a 2006 Ford Escape. Now before I turn 50,I decided to do it again, so I got this4.0 coupe, looks exactly like BURNSY's Mustang, but no spoiler which I really wanted--ah well. Will post a pic later in the week. I drive it every day and I realize from the 02 'Stang, they're not that good in snow, but we don't seem to have much around here, so I just drive carefully. My 02 had about 190 HP, now this 08 has 210 I think, and wow, what a difference! And the sound is awesome, so even though its not a GT or Cobra, its a great sounding car and I'd rather do nothing but drive it around. Hubby is more pleased with it (WHen he gets to drive it! LOL) than he tho't he'd be. Of all the muscle cars out there, Ford has stayed true to the looks and feel and performance of their sports cars. I learned to drive on a '65, yes I was young being that I'm 49 now! But I "fell" hard for Mustangs back then and its never left me. They are too fun to drive, too. I've only had it up to 85 on the interstate but wow, what a charge that was! I'm just amazed at the difference in the HP of this one compared to my 02 'Stang. What a great car. I've only had it about 2 weeks and already I had it in the Ford garage for a recall of the 2008's...something to do with the airbag. Has anyone else had any things going on with their 08's I should know about? Someone asked me the other day when I was going to grow up, and I said, NEVER, not as long as I have a Mustang to drive!I am having so much fun with this car!

Any suggestions on other Mustang sites I should check out?
