Default First Time Mustang Owner! Mixed feelings...

So I recently graduated, got a steady job and moved on from my old Audi TT which had ridiculous amounts of issues as the odometer rolled over the 80k mark. Now I bought a Mustang and it's already a love hate relationship. Here she is. 2011 Mustang GT Premium


So I got her about 2 months ago. Unfortunately I've already had to replace clutch and flywheel because of the infamous pressure plate bolt issue. 1 month later the chain tensioner failed and blew out a timing chain and now she's sitting in my dad's garage while we work on it together.

But even after ALL this, all the money I've dumped in to fix it, and all the problems, I still love it. When I test drove it I immediately fell in love. I've never driven a V8 before and now I know why so many people enjoy Mustangs. The power is addicting. I got it for fun and it delivers and then some. She'll be back on the road soon. Can't wait. Looking forward to being on the forums!

Thanks! The work is almost done. Hopefully I can get it back on the road in a week or two.

Welcome to the forum.
Don't blame the brand, blame the previous owner.

Just want to clarify I don't mean to talk **** on the mustang. I do own one after all! Unfortunately I'm in the small percentage that has major issues. I outlined one of them here.

That being said thanks again for the welcomes!
