Ford took its best looks from history added the most from modern day tecnology and gave us a car that pleases the masses from 5 to 95.

The 1968-1969 fastback look.
Stare at mine constantly.
Quite fast for a V6.

ditto
also changed my parking spot at work so I can gaze out the window at her all the time now

Quoted post

I changed mine too. Now I catch myself just staring at it out of the window.

The sound of the exhaust when my foot is on the floor.

Walking out from a store and getting into it in front of several people that were checking it out. Then turning the key. AWSOME!

Yup... the look-back... the sign of a great car... another version of the look-back is the garage-stare... thats where you go open up the garage and just stare... I do that too...

I love the way the front fender looks... so forward... so muscular...

I love how EASY it is to get a little more performance out of the car. I'm a automotive moron, but even *I* can get myself an extra 30 horses.

I love the way people will stop and point... stop and stare... just stop. I've seen a school kid drop his books... I've seen two teens drop the ball and point and talk... and the other day, an older gentleman told me how much he liked the new (old!) body style.

Is the LOOK BACK similar to the STOP SHORT on Seinfeld?

The retro look is what got me. My dad had a mustang convertible and I always wanted one. It finally happened-- Plus I love that pony emblem-- brings back memories

Here's my 1st Stang.........'69
and my present Stang......'05

Love the looks I get in mine.

And I ALWAYS do a "Look Back" no matter where I park.

Ok, NOW I'm cleaning out the garage. Just installed A/C. Pretty soon, her 'barn' will be ready...

When my wife called to tell how neat it was to own such a cool car.

People at work, both union and management, and the neighbors are all asking her about it.

Favorite thing about my Mustang? The euphoric rush that I get every time I'm behind the wheel!

My favorite thing is definitely the drop top. I've had a few convertibles before this, but none had a power top and it is cooler than shiznit. And the looks, holy cow! Dropping the top on a Mustang is not for the timid, it's like driving around with a sign that says "STARE AT ME" on it

I'm guilty of the lookback as well

Love that term, it fits! I also do a lot of lookforwards (approaching the car). That's one of the nice things about parking way out in the lot, you can really enjoy a good, long lookforward

Another fun thing is valet parking. We go to a few local casinos, and when you pull up, about 4 valets all run over wanting to be the one to park it. Then, when leaving, its fun listening to people talking who are standing around when the valet pulls up in it. And then we step from the back of the crowd and get in as they oooh and aaah.

I love the retro look of the car. My ex boyfriend had a 66 and I loved that car. I had a 67 Camaro at the time and we would often swap cars for the day.

Oh and as Andy said, "THE RAW POWER" .

I do the "LOOK BACK" and I try to park where I can see my car from the window of the restaurant :P

oh, and most importantly, my favorite thing is that she's mine

The look of the car.
The "look back" at the car.
The "stare" at the car.
The 1st to 2nd "bark" of the car.

After owning two 66 Mustangs I feel the spirit of the Mustang is alive with my 05! I'll quote the Cover of one of my Mustang Monthly mags

"The Best Mustang EVER"
