Default AutoX n00b in Oregon

First post here.

Don't have a Mustang yet but hoping to factory order a '13 GT 3.31 w/ Brembos and Recaros in the very near future. My current car (2005 Lotus Elise) is a hoot when I'm dodging cones in parking lots, but isn't the most practical DD and the fiberglass bodywork doesn't hold up to abuse very well! Looking forward to thrashing on a 5.0 and enjoying the daily commute too

Welcome! A lightweight lotus to a high horsepower muscle car is quite a change, but I bet you can't wait to pick one up. Be sure to post pics if you get it, especially since it is a '13. We can't get enough pictures of them.

^this! For all the benefits of the Lotus, I'm really looking forward to a practical (and fun) car when I'm not racing. There's something to be said about comfort and driveability on the street, too! Can't wait

Alright, things just got real for me today! Placed an order and put down my deposit. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and I have my car in hand before too long
