Default Old Guy, but now with a Mustang

Last time I was here I owned a 2002 Trans Am WS6.

Since then, I have went through several cars/trucks

traded WS6 for Nissan Titan (2nd kid on the way)
Nissan Titan for a Pontiac G8 GT (awesome car, but had some nagging issues)
Traded Pontiac G8GT on Hummer H3T

I literally had the Hummer H3T for 72 days, and sold it. Nice truck, but missed the power and fun of a pony/muscle car.

First Mustang, and I really enjoy it.

New ride:

2008 Mustang GT
Black
Black Interior
NAV, HID, Premium Pkg (I think) It has leather and Mycolor dash option, so I am guessing that means, I have Premium pkg.

Although my wheels are ugly (IMO) and it looks like a wheel that belongs on a base V6 (no offense to Base V6 owners)
PICS ADDED::::

To be honest, It wasn't anything too bad,, It was more of my disdain for the horrible dealership service in my area.
I had an interior water leak that is a known problem with several G8 GTs. I told them about the Technical Bulliten and they ignored me, said it was something else. They repaired the wrong thing, replaced my carpet and padding.. Only for the rear floor board to get about and 1nch of standing water in it again. I take it back, and tell them about the TB I learned about from other G8 owners. They said that was it, and fixed it, but refused to replace my carpet and padding again, even though the mildew/ musty smell was present again.

Then they broke parts putting it the interior back together, and it took two or three times back to the service department for them to fix them all.

A few other issues (all very small) but were all heightened by the horrible Government Motor Customer service.

Man, if you think 31 is old, then you'd think that I'm older than dirt. Even so, I'm still pretty young at heart.......
