I just got back from my first road trip in the Mustang, from Phoenix to Mustang Oklahoma. I stayed pretty well within reason of the speed limit the whole way there and back, no tickets, no accidents. On this trip I cracked the 10,000 mile barrier on the odometer, and "think" I may have noticed something. My father used to be a truck driver, and he and many others swear that a truck doesn't open up until it hits 100,000 miles. After driving on the highway for extended periods of time, pulling in and out of gas stations (alot of them I might add :bang: ) I could swear that this car is running stronger than ever. Maybe I just have alot more confidence in it now that it has proven itself roadworthy, but man, this car is running great now.

Ok, so during my trip, I stopped at 9 gas stations between the start and end of my trip. I received compliments from 5 of the 9 gas station attendants about my car, and 3 individual "common folk" who were filling up their own cars with gas. You haven't lived until you have heard someone from Oklahoma drawl out "Whoooweee, that sure is a purdy car". I even had a lady who must have been near 80 years old talk to me at length about how much she liked my car and how all of the black really compliments the car. That was cool.

Here are a couple of pics from the trip.

Since I've been back, I have been inundated with people telling me how great my car looks. Since I've been back, I've had 2 people talk to me about the car just as they were passing by, one guy mowing his lawn stopped and I could read his lips as he said "darn!" and I just got back from lunch with my wife, who upon returning to her office was stopped by the security guard so he could tell her how nice my car looked. Man I love this car.

That is all...

Good pics !! 2 in my eyes, especially with the MUSTANG looks like water tower?

Matt

 

Yes, that's the water tower in Mustang Oklahoma. Got the idea from another member here on the board. Since I was going there anyway, I just HAD to do it.

Very cool story and pics!! I bet you had alot of fun driving your car all that distance.

 

Awesome Sean

I went on a 1,000 mile trip the weekend after I got my car and also enjoyed every second of it. The car is very comfortable during long drives.

 

I love the Mustang water tower pic....thanks for sharing!

 

Nice ride. Sounds like it was a fun trip.
The locals were prolly like, ohh look Billy bob, another them there mustangs takin a picture under the water tower.

 

I would hate to take mine on a 2000 mile trip. It is a fun car for sure but that trip would do an old fart in.
