Default First Mustang

My first Mustang, hell even my first American car. Traded my 1992 BMW 525i outright for a 1995 5.0 with minimal mods. The BMW's transmission was starting to act up (BMW outsourced their transmissions in 1992 to GM for some reason) so I posted it on craigslist for trade. Kept an open mind, just looking for a car in decent shape. I was once completely against owning a muscle car... since I'm more of a back roads/ windy road kind of guy. I was always into great handling cars, but now that I'm into sportbike riding I don't have the itch for a car that handles on rails... that's what the bikes for. I've been into German cars since my first car. Here is my car history, as you can see the Mustang is the black sheep. It was originally a V6, but a few owners ago did the 5.0 swap.

1989 BMW 325i, 1989 Porsche 944, 1995 BMW M3, 1984 Porsche 944, 2001 BMW M3, 1992 BMW 525i, now the 95 5.0.

Anyway, enough talking, here she is. I plan on doing a bit of work if I keep her for long, the first thing I want to swap out is the chrome Cobra wheels. I'd much prefer a satin black... was never a fan of chrome on anything. I may only have this car for a few weeks, as I've already found a guy in Albany that's looking for an automatic mustang that might want to trade his built foxbody 5.0. I'd much prefer a manual personally, one of the reasons for trading the 525i was because it was my first automatic car, and that's a huge reason why I never enjoyed it.

(If anyone wants the chrome Cobra wheels PM me!, I would like to trade for something different since it'd be pretty stupid to paint over chrome)
