Ages of new 05 Mustang owners
#101
43, Received my Satin Silver 05 GT for New Years, it's my third. My first was a 66 Fastback (pictured), second was a 67. Been saving my money for a Shelby (more likely a Shelby clone) till the 05 was announced several years ago. Now I've get the best of both worlds, old and new.

I know some people will take this the wrong way but I remember when I was 16 years old....there was no way I could afford a new car. I was in school and working but even if I saved every penny I still could not make enough to buy a new car.
Also I notice a lot of people saying "I got a new car when I was ... years old" and then mention that really their parents bought them the car or it was their parents car. Guess I am just jealous

Adrenalin, Things have changed, I paid $500 cash for my first car. Now I have a 16 year old daughter who EXPECTS a new car for her birthday because that's what all of her friends are getting. Not happening!!!!!

I just love how a lot of people say "this is mine". Sure it is, show me the ownership and insurance papers

Kids sure do expect a lot these days I guess.

As for my age, I received medicare A for my last birthday. As for Mustangs, I will soon (real soon, I hope) take delivery of my second Satin Silver GT Premium Convertible; the first being an '02.
And to show that an old dog can learn new tricks, the '02 was my first Mustang after years of GM stuff.
OK, ...so I'm a slow learner.
And I tend to agree with many comments stated earlier regarding us AARP candidates; ...although I can't stop growing old - I can stop growing up.
AND I LOVE IT !!!!!

My first car was a 77 Mustang II (I know, don't say it...) that my dad bought for me for $1,000.00 and I was to pay for insurance and any maintenance costs, which added up to be a lot.

It was fun for those 2 years though!

I'm not in my seventies, but if I were, I think I might be a little offended by how this poll is worded. :angry: :angry: :angry:
Age has nothing to do with enjoying a car, as long as you are an aware driver. I too get frustrated sometimes at older drivers, but then, I get frustrated with many drivers
This GT will be my first Mustang, and like Jack Benny, I am 39....

I am 55 and got tired of trying to keep up the maintenance on the old cars. Sold a 1970 Cuda convert and bought the mustang. Had the Cuda 8 years and still needed more work than I wanted to put in it. It was a nice looking driver but rode rough, no air, lousy radio, your clothes would smell like exhaust just trying to get the car out of the garage. Parts extremely hard to get. ect.

Technically not an owner yet but I will be as soon as Ford decides to build mine. I'm 39 and this will be the 2nd Mustang for me. My first was a 91 GT when I was 25. There have been 2 others in the family as well, a 90 4cyl notchback and a 67 coupe with a 289.

29. My first Mustang. Previous vehicle was a '95 Ford Aspire that I bought new (yes, my daily driver for almost 10 yrs!). So, you probably have an idea of how happy I am to finally have something with a little power and prestige. V6 now for sure, gives me time to save for 2009 Cobra. Need to learn "RWD in the snow" first
