Thumbs up Newbie..

Hey guys,

Just as the handle implies. I've got the bug..

Been researching and going crazy over the last month or so. Lurking on different forums. Reading anything I can on the Mustang.
Plan on buying a 2010 GT Premium at the end of the year.. This will be my first Mustang.

Just got back from a test drive in the GT today.. There's no help for me, I'm really hooked now!

Plan on getting one in Sterling Grey. I was going to get the track pack but after driving one, I really don't think I need it. This will be my daily driver.

I do have some questions about axles and such, you guys may be able to answer. I'll post them in the tech section. Along with a whole list of other stupid beginner questions, I'm sure to be asking as I move towards buying my new ride at the end of the year.


Thanks in advance for your kindness..

Yo Gearhead thanks for the welcome..

I've already thought about that.. Couple reasons for not waiting. First if you know about marketing. You realize that the name of the game is to always have a bigger and better product coming out to capitalize on the hype.

They work hard, to get this to flow properly. To increase sales.. Electronics, Phones, Computers, Cigars, and many other "want,"dont need to have product areas, are all great examples.

The idea is to capitalized on human nature. The one that says, I have to have the first of something new in the product line.. The limited addition! The no one else has it but me mentality.

The price is blown up by demand when it first comes out. To then fade as the next hyped item in the line comes out.. This is what the limited addition thing is all about..

For myself I'm just a regular guy that has never owned a Mustang. I've decided to bite the bullet and get one. I have or am doing my research now..

This is the first run of a new body style. One that really looks like it will go down as a classic.. This year should be a keeper! Another reason for my decision to buy a mustang right now.

Second it's a proven engine with a few years of production behind it.. No telling what the new engine will be like, as far as reliability and or kinks that will have to be worked out..

What you see Ford doing now is building hype to carry there product line into the future... For myself I will let the other lemmings jump off the cliff.. Hell if I could afford it, I would jump off with them, but we all have to know our limits..


Thanks again for the welcome..
