....A quick bath and then down to the insurance agent, and then a little drive time.

You can save $$$ on your insurance, if you have another car and the 05 is for
"recreation" driving. I also got a break for driving it less than 5,000 miles per year.

You would have to buy a very cheap car in order to save money that way.

I meant if you already have another car (beater). I bought a used F150 for my primary transportation. The 05 won't see rain ...

I am driving my GT Mustang every day......I wouldn't want to deprive myself of doing this... . And that's the kind of 'Withdrawl Symptoms' I never want to happen. Vroom-Vroom....

I couldn't keep this thing out of the garage. I get a huge grin every time I start it up. I get the same grin every time a buddy at work tells me I stink . If there is one word that can describe this car, that word would be effortless. Effortless acceleration, effortless handling, effortless braking. It takes everything in stride. I love it .

effortless handling? I don't like the feel of the pirellis at all. Looking for good replacement rubber right now. Everything else on this stang is sweet though. Sure wish they had come with the BF Goodrich T/A KDW's.

Congrats on the car and good luck!!

I've been driving mine about 3 out of 5 days, only in good weather. It shall stay that way. I want to keep the car as close to looking "new" as possible while being able to enjoy it.

I thought about that too......but I might be 6-feet under tomorrow (heaven forbid), and I'm not keeping it nice for anybody else's benefit. I am going to enjoy this car each and every day..... Now, if I would have bought say a Ford GT.....'nuff said. Enjoy.....
