My Ride
Well, I mean lets start off with WHO I AM.
I'm Anthony - 16 years young.
I live in Indiana - near Indianapolis
My father is a small business owner. The first business he started was a radiator shop down town. He sold it to one of his employees.
I love cars and planes - I'm working on my private pilot's license.
I worked really hard for my car.
I am totally looking to make exterior modifications, and maybe when I have the money some engine, transmission, and suspension mods. My goal is to have my uncle (who owns a body shop) teach me how to do all the modifications myself.
The ride
It's a 2007 Mustang v6 with a GT kit.
The interior is red - genuine leather - heated seats.
It's charcoal gray with 2 dark red (almost maroon) racing stripes.
Its got false side scoops, hood scoop, and rear window scoops.
I'm totally clueless about this car - so I came here to learn, if ya'll here are willing to teach.

Welcome bro! I am 16 too and I got a V6 mustang for my first car too! You will learn to love your mustang, and with each mod you will love it even more as you turn it into your own special car.
That is pretty neat that you are getting your pilot license, I am scared to death of planes therefore I am no fly-boy, but I do love trains and I am working on getting my engineer's license. I already have one, but it is only with my railroad museum.
Check out this site for some good products for your stang.

Welcome to MF from the Great White North!
Good for you for working for your car! Believe me, you will appreciate it more since you have done so.
As far as mods go, there are lots of choices. IMO, the biggest single change you can make is an upgraded set of wheels and tires. The stock V6 wheels just seem so small in those wheel wells. Go with at least a set of 18" wheels. To save some money, you could buy a set of new take offs from a GT. There are plenty of companies out there that sell them, or you could look in your local Craigslist for someone who is selling a set that upgraded.
Good luck with your 'Stang!

Welcome and your red interior and red stripes set your Mustang off. They look really sharp! Read around and you will learn a lot. Just be careful and watch out for the other drivers that are texting / reading / talking on their cells / etc. You will actually be safer in a Cesna than any car!
