Hi all!
Hello all, Im Frank, proud new owner of a brand new fully loaded 2006 dark red V6 Stang w/ Pony pkg and standard tranny that Ive named 'Big Red.' I just bought it Tuesday, Ive been lurking here for a while before I made my purchase to get info. So um, heres a little bit about me and my Mustang;
Im 19, and Ive always dreamed of owning a Mustang, (a black 69 Boss 429 to be exact) so once I saw the 05 release with the retro look, I knew I would get one some day. Thanks to a whole lot of luck recently with my job (my boss had a mental breakdown and I got his job managing the IT department for a small company of about 35 people.) I got a nice raise and I figured now would be a great time to purchase my dream car since I live at home and dont have many other bills, so I sold my little Focus ZX3, scraped together a few extra thousand bucks from my savings for a down payment and made some calls to local Ford dealers, I was about to order one when the dealer near my house said he just checked inventory and they had one in storage with all the features I wanted, so I went over, test drove it and bought it and I absolutely LOVE it! Im making the car and insurance payments on it, but a BIG thanks to my mother for allowing me to remain on her insurance policy for now so I wont get killed by their rediculous rates. Anyways heres a list of all the stuff I got:
Pony Package (Chrome grille and Bulitt wheels! woooohoooo!)
Shaker 500 Stereo System
Interior Upgrade Package
Black side Stripe
Side Airbags
Light Graphite Leather seats
I love this car, and since I broke up with my girlfriend 2 weeks ago, this is my new baby! haha! Its absolutely perfect and I doubt Ill be modding it any time soon, I may some time down the road though, (72 month financing, so its not like Im short on time
) only things I can really think to do now is maybe a turbo, (superchargers are damn pricey, but hey, who knows...) and a limited slip differential, as for appearance, its perfect, wont change a thing.
Well glad to be here, heres some crappy pics:
