Hey Dan, Happy Holiday!

Yeah, Christmas is different. I'm off for a few days, so I can drive my car more.

Yes Christmas is different. I got my Redfire convertible on Nov. 18 and it still hasn't completely sunk in. Every time I walk into the garage and I look at it I get goose bumps! My first Mustang was 40 years ago and I think I'm feeling the same I did then (only a little older)

Yesterday it was 50 degrees here in CT, so for the first time I dropped the top and took a short drive. I did get alot of looks, but who cares. I feel like a kid again!

Everyday is like Christmas when you have a Mustang! I don't have a "New" mustang like you guys, but I have one that I have modded myself over the last 4 years and it is about where I want it.

2000 GT w/24,800 miles covered and garaged and never driven in the rain! Everything has been modded wheels,tires,interior,engine,exhaust,brakes, body,windows, the Sig is just some of what has been done to it, I have spent about $10,000.00 over what the car cost and it was paid for in 2004! I will probably have it for a long, long time or at least until the new one is restyled--I can't even make myself like the new one yet, I hope the next restyle makes it more aerodynamic.

I got my Mustang day after Turkey Day. The 30 day tags expired today on Xmas! (I got the plates last week though.) I wouldn't say it changed Xmas, but everyone did have to go out and see the Mustang though!

Yea-
this Christmas was different.
This year there wasn't a set of mustang keys under the tree like last year.
This year she's 370 days old.


Otherwise, Everyday is Christmas with Ellie.

I wanted to include the Mustang in the Christmas card, but couldn't quite figure out how to get it in front of the tree :scratch:

Hi Dan,
This Christmas was good for us. Our Vista Blue arrived in Nov 30th. and yes we did use it on our Christmas cards. We have owned a lot of Mustangs over the years but I have not been this excited since we bought the '69 SportRoof. That is one of the reasons the Mustang has lasted so long, makes you feel young! A friend made a Vista Blue model for me, Check it out
Dan

Yeah. this year was different. I spent Xmas afternoon with my head under the hood installing the new perfromance parts I got from my wife. It's like being a kid again. You can't wait to play with your new toy.

Yep, my whole wish list this year was comprised of bolt-ons, appearance upgrade wants, etc.

Wife was so confused as to what to get, she just wrapped up $$ to use towards whatever I choose! Online shopping is great.
