2 pictures are now uploaded! I'll work on getting a good picture once the snow is off the ground here and I can wash it!

@josh_packfan Welcome! Another Madison MF'er! Congratulations on the silver Stang! I'm glad to see it has gone to a good home! I had been watching that car since I bought mine. So much so that I had even recommened it to a coworker. Oddly enough, we bought our cars about 10 miles apart! Mine was in Random Lake...

I'll keep my eye out for you!

Well Madison got hit with over a foot of snow, and it's still not all off the road yet even though we got hit on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's a little tough getting out of a parking spot on the street here since the snow still isn't all plowed out yet.

Madison is too environmentally friendly to use salt....so we have sand everywhere which doesn't do **** lol

Nice! Yeah I was thinking of getting the 2009 black Mustang V6 in West Bend, but when I saw a 2011 for under $17,000, I had to go for it! What Mustang do you drive?

The 2011 V6 is better, hands down! I've always liked the 2005+ models but always wanted the V8. The mileage is a little better and the power is enough for most. If I had to find any one small thing of concern it is the shape of the tail lights. That and the cup holder are the only two things I can complain about!

I too have a 2011 V6. Mine is Grabber Blue with the Pony Package. As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. Especially when I saw it had all the options, minus the auto (which I didn't want) and the Performance Package (which I found out later you couldn't get with the Pony.) Love at first sight.

I love my car and I know you will too!

Congrats again...

Yeah that's the one thing I didn't like about the 2011 Mustang compared to the 2009s and earlier models: the tail lights. They are angled kinda weird compared to the earlier models which were just flat on the back

But 105 more hp and 3 more mpg definitely beat out tail light shape haha.
