Back Again......Indiana
Well its been 2-3 years since I have been around. I had a 97 GT convertible with 50K miles.

I had to sell it so we could buy the home we wanted. As part of the deal, my wife promised I could get another Mustang after we moved. Well we got here about 1.5 years ago, but I had other things to concentrate on. So I was looking at the newer style stangs but wasnt to worried about finding one because they are all over, but I am drawn back to the new edge body style. I just think they look more muscular. I wanted to find one with nice mileage that hadnt been put through the ringer. After watching enough Youtube you know how much Stangs get beat on. I planned on waiting until next spring or early summer but I liked to look on Ebay constantly. All of the sudden I saw a beatiful Stang that was just received at the local Lincoln-Mazda dealership. I have purchased 2 new Mazdas from them in the past. When I talked to my wife she said I could go check it out. I did, and the salesman ended up being the father in law of another Deputy that I am friends with. It was a 2004 Shadow Gray Mustang GT, 5 speed, leather, bullitt wheels, etc. It only has 14K original miles. It is in brand new condition throughout. The original owner only drove it during summer (around 2500 miles/year). I love this thing. My other stang was a toy only, but since we spent alot more on the house this will be my daily driver for 1-2 years until I can get a good winter car. I am so glad to be back. I found good winter tires for the wheels but I was curious if the 16" V6 Mustang wheels will fit over the brakes on the GT, so I could use those for winter?

Thanks everyone! Im in the Indy area. Yep, I learned that REAL winter tires will change a whole cars abilities during winter, over the best all season tire. My Mazda 3S was poo with the new stock RSA's, but was unstoppable when I threw on the Blizzaks. This is no snowmobile, but hopefully this will get me through safely.
I havent had time to get any pics of the new ride, but will get them posted in the next week or two.
