Default New to me 2014 'vert...

Greetings, all,

I just picked up "The Silver Bullitt" Friday - a 2014 V6 convertible.

My first time seeing a Mustang was in '64, as an 8-year-old kid. I almost bought a rusted-out '66 when I was 19 but didn't.

My wife and I went on a trip to AZ back in 2013 and rented a V6 convertible. We loved it and were amazed that something with 300+ HP could get over 30 mpg. The car wasn't even broken in and we were driving 80+ mph on the highways in AZ.

I sold my 2002 Mazda Miata to get this car. Yeah, the Miata is a different type of car, entirely, but I love convertibles! This car will be the latest in a line of convertibles that have included a 1957 Bel Air (WHY did I sell this?!), 1966 Skylark, 1982 VW Cabrio, 1996 Miata M Edition and the 2002 Miata.

I decided that we needed something a bit easier to get in and out of - both for us and my 83-YO dad, who rides with me. The large trunk didn't hurt, either, nor the performance.

I'm looking forward to lots of years with this car.

Welcome aboard.

Amazing how good on gas newer Mustangs are with 6 speed automatic.
