Thanks for the welcome. This is a pretty awesome forum, actually is one of the best that I have ever visited.

 

Thanks for the welcome. Man I have had a bunch of cars! Porsches, Nissans, Chryslers, etc. I have to say though that my '06 Tungsten Grey GT has given me the most 'new owner' thrill.

Since we are obviously encouraged to write till we are blue in the fingers, here is my story: Since I could drive, I have been searching for my 'perfect', end-all car of cars. Since I am not rich, the exotics were out. So, being a fan of Fords and Nissans I narrowed it down to either a GT convertible or a Z convertible. I know; not really apples to apples, but it was what I chose as I had driven both and both left me grinning from ear-to-ear (wife said it was creepy). So now it was up to the dealers to do their best. Here's what I got:

Nissan: "All I have is a '06 touring addition ($37,000-) and I can get it to you for $32,00-, or if you like you can leave us a deposit, tell us what you want and we will find it and call you."
Me: "I don't want to spend that much. I won't buy a car sight unseen. See ya."

--

Ford: "Gee our Mustangs are selling so well we don't really have to mark them down." (note: all automatics on the lot.)
Me: "Gee, then why are you laying off all those people if you are selling so many cars? I guess I could go to San Diego and get one there but I want to buy locally. . .and I bought my F-150 5.4 here last year and got such a great deal. Ok. Thanks anyway."
Ford: "Well let me check with my manager."
Time passes
Ford: "How does $100 over invoice sound?"
Me: "OK, but I really am looking for a 5 speed"
Ford: "Really? Uh, I think we may have one but the color is a love-it or hate-it thing."

ANYWAY. . .Long story short. . .Played like I really wanted a white or yellow 5-speed, got a good trade-in and did the deal on the 'new' color for '06.

I LOVE this car! The accelleration, the torque, the sounds!

Needless to say I will be visiting here on a regular basis as I believe I have found my 'final' car and will want to learn as much from all of the other 'Stang owners.

Pictures to follow once all the !@#$%^& rain stops here in SoCal.

 

Oh yeah, you will also note that I'm an illiterate. . .

Hello All. Gald to have found these forums. Very cool. I have been messing with Fords for a while now. I've had an '89 T-Bird 232ci V6, a '92 Cougar 302ci HO V8, '96 281ci V8, an '03 281ci V8 Grand Marquis, and now: a 2001 GT Mustang. It's good times. Already have some mods: K&N FIPK kit, TransGo shift Kit (yeah its an auto), 2 (NOT 4) hi-flo cat-cons, bassani x-pipe, two series 40 flowmasters. More to come later. I'm glad to be here and hope to get some good info too!

 

Ok this is the newbie section and I am a newbie, "Hello" "Hello" "Hello" "Nice to meet you all"

 

Hello, just joined today. I hope to get edjamacated on my mustang.
Bought a greenish blue 1995 V6 a few months ago. Hoping to fix it
up a little. Previous owner started the project, now I get to
finish. Hopfully, someone knows some of those "helpful heloise hints"
that we all love so much. (Like how to get the super-glue off my fingers and my fingers
unstuck from the car, after I had to glue an interior part back that I broke)

 

Thanks for the welcome.I just joined yesturday and hope to gather opinions and input on the latest products for my 05 stang gt.

My future mods include:
cdc rear window louvers
painted chin spoiler
18" anthracite deep dish bullitt rims
pirelli or toyo aggressive tires
sequential tails
ducktail spoiler
racing stripes/rocker panel
