Default Ordered a 2013 Mustang GT on 5/29!

I just ordered my Mustang last week, so I thought I would introduce myself. It is going to be tough waiting for it!!!!

First, the car is a 2013 Mustang GT Premium Coupe in Grabber Blue.

I got it with the following options:
  • 401A package, with the charcoal black interior with the grabber blue highlights
  • 6-speed manual
  • GT track pack
  • Comfort Group
  • Electronics Package
  • GT Couple Accessory Package 1
  • Rear View Camera

I've always wanted a Mustang since I was young, but until recently I was just too big to drive one. In the past 2 years, I have managed to lose 261 lbs, and now I fit in a Mustang, even at 6'6". So as a 40th birthday present to myself, and as a reward for getting myself in shape, I sprang for the Stang!

I'm currently driving a 2003 F-150 SuperCrew which I'm trading in on the Mustang, and a 2007 Dodge Charger R/T that I'm keeping as the family car

Yeah, I grabbed the wrong date off the calendar when I was typing up the message. I meant 5/18... Doh!

It showed up yesterday, and it is pure awesome!!!!!!

I can't wait till the motor gets a few more miles on it. I was looking at aftermarket exhaust systems, but the stock system sounds great, and the 6-speed is a blast!

Congrats! Personally, I love the color. There is a fellow MFer that has a GT500 with the stripe delete that yours reminds me of. Also, congrats on the weight loss! Takes quite the dedication to lose that much.
