I joined this forum some time ago and might have already made an introduction thread. I was, at the time, preparing to purchase or trade for a Mustang GT. I ended up never getting my dream car, but thankfully, I'm in a better situation now. I won't be graduating until this December with my B.S. in Business Management, but I'm fortunate enough to currently have a decent job for my university as an assistant systems administrator. This means I have a little extra cash to burn, so I'm currently on the prowl for a Stang. We'll get to that later though, meanwhile, I want to spend the next few days just learning about them.
I currently drive a '98 Ford Explorer 5.0 AWD. It's my 3rd Explorer and 2nd one with the 5.0. I love these things. I've done a few things to it, but nothing really impressive like many of the guys over at my other internet home, ExplorerForum.com. My preference in mods are to make the vehicle sleek. With exception to the wheels, I like to make people wonder if the vehicle came from the factory that way. With that being said, I've done the following to my Explorer:
Remove Side Moldings
Removed Pin Stripes
Remove Badges
Paint Rear Bumper Trim
Paint Front Bumper Trim
Fram AirHog Drop-In Filter
Front Window Tint
American Racing Baja 15x8" Wheels
KYB GR2 Shocks
Flowmaster Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious 40
1.5" Pro-Comp Short AAL
1.5" Torsion Twist
31x10.50 Kumho KL78 A/T
New Chrome Grille with Chrome Insert
New Fog Light Housings
GE Nighthawk Bulbs
When I set off on my Mustang purchasing journey, I'll primarily be looking for a '94+ GT hardtop in black, silver, white, or possibly blue with black or gray leather interior. I hope to learn a lot by reading the forums. I could use some guidance when it comes time to make the purchase. In the meantime, here are a couple pics of my "Explordinary".

BTW, the Explorer is NOT for sale or trade. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about this thread, haha.
