Default New to me GT

Hi All! I just picked up a nice 2008 Mustang GT, alloy gray and I'm loving it. This is my 3rd. Mustang. I had a 1974 II hatchback, a 1996 Coupe and now this beast. I had been driving a new Eclipse for 3.5 years and just got tired of it. So, I decided to make the jump back into the Mustang.

My dad was a big Ford fan and we had several Mustangs while I was growing up. The newer cars are amazing and the ride and handling on this GT is pretty darn good, in spite of the rear axle set up.

I'll try to update the avatar, can't seem to get it to work, but here's a nice shot of the beast in the driveway..................

Thanks folks! Mine is a ripe roaring 5 speed manual. I only drive manual trannies for my personal car. The family ride is auto as well as my Ford Ranger.

Mine is a 5 speed manual. I only drive manuals for my personal ride. It kicks butt for sure!

Wow, nice job with all of the mods. That color is beautiful too! I would have kept my 96 Mustang if it had been a 5 speed, but I wanted to get back to a manual tranny.

Thanks for the welcome. This looks like a great place to hang out!
