Congrats on the new Stang!!! Welcome to MustangForums. A word of caution:don't listen to ANYBODY hear for advice - they are all Mod-aholics and will suck you into this demented obsession.

After 3 precious years of a crappy beater, with much argumentation and convincing, my parents and I finally bought my dream car. A mustang v6 "premium coupe" with auto transmision plus some "interior/exterior" detailing all for $20k out the door price (i think dealer was selling right at invoice).
I can't wait for the storms over dallas to clear so I can really test "my baby". My bank balance hurts, only $9,000 left
(paid with a cashiers check) , but hey, you live life only once right?
Color = bright red (my school colors (indiana university
) ) . does anyone live in the north? I know I will have to get snowtires but any other things i should do to protect my stang.
Btw, I think I am the only asian in town with a stang, talk about being white washed
I quite honestly think you canNOT get a better car for $20k then a mustang, you just can't. Its the american car, but cheaper then an accord!

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome! I was up all night playing around in the car! hahaha, mods will soon follow, they are tempting me. Must Resist!!
Insurance rate blows [:@] , $280 a month (im 18, i know a really young sophomore) with only 1 speeding violation. Anyone know if this is a "rip off" or is this "solid"? I could have paid $150 a month w/o collision or vandalism, but you can't let your baby be left uninsured.
Pics will be up soon [8D]!
Cheers,
Sam

i pay $70 a month. but i think its cuz i get a group deal with my other vehicles. as for modding, no need to worry too much about it yet. have a blast with your car at least for a couple months, get a feel for it, then look into mods. i think you will appreciate what the mods do for you even more once you realize how much of a difference they make. wish i had 9K in my bank! i could pay some nagging bills and get my gears and t-lock [8D] WELCOME TO MF! this place has been great for me. GOOD LUCK WITH THE STANG!

Welcome to MF!!! congrats on the new car! Now get modding!!! Trust me totally worth doing a lil bit to it. Must get tune and CAI! will make your car a completly diff vehical. And dont listen to these guys about blowing it. take it the N/A route we need to see someone soup it up that way and see the gains! Get the dual exhaust then new heads and cam!. and of course the t-lok and 4.10's. Then you will be leavin all sorts of cars in your dust. But anyway welcome and enjoy the new stang!
