New Mustang!!

Well, I finally took the plunge and traded in the old ride for 2010 GT Convertible! I'm psyched!!

Was considering buying new with the incentive program Ford was running, 0% for 72 months, but just couldn't get the price where I needed it to be. So I ended up with a black-on-black 2010 GT Convertible with 13K miles on it.

I'm loving it! I like the color combo, particularly as a convertible.

I'm already starting to give some thoughts to modifications...but probably need to be patient!

Anyways...here are a couple pics:

Thanks guys...it's Auto...which I must admit wasn't my first choice, but a compromise that had to be made. I've got 3 kids....so my whole fam can't fit in the car, which basically means at times the wife will need to drive it...therefore -- it's auto.

Sweet! Good to know...

It's a beast of an engine...I'm excited to do a couple things to bring it more alive...

Congrats Jon! I echo the 4.10's, tune.. it'll promote a perma grin when you drive, and also rear tire expenses

love me the black 10+!!!

If you're looking for a nice awakening to the car, brenspeed tune with the Steeda CAI is like driving a whole new car.

Congrats on the purchase!
BTW what was the 'old ride'?

Thanks for the info!

The old ride was a BMW 330i. It was a nice ride, but lacked a little of the character of the 'stang. Needless to say, I'm glad I made the switch...

Congrats.
