I never thought I'd be able to get my hands on one. I drive past Budget every day looking for a Mustang and they never have one. I ask them when I can get one and they tell me no chance in heck will there location get one. I go by there and they have one but tell me its unavailable for rent. AAAH!!
Well Saturday on my way to Christmas shopping I spy a torch red 6 on thier lot!
I was so excited and I know its not buying but I couldn't help but grin.
All I've wanted was to drive one!
Wow, the steering feels so much better than my 02 did. The handling is better. Speedbumps are a little rougher I've noticed. Who ever said they can fit 4 6 ft people in there was joking right?
Now I finally understand the pain in having the cupholders where they are. haha Hmmm . . . There are so many little things wrong with the interior. Like the opener for the doors on the inside is oddly placed I think. The tray on the door where you can put crap is kind of odd too.
Oooh . . . and trying to get a kiddie seat strapped in with those two bars inside the seat? I broke a sweat!
AND for shame the people that had the car before me put the car through h-e-double hockey sticks! Stains, tar and paint chips galore! My girlfriend and I nearly cried! :bang:
Still with the various little things wrong I couldn't help but love it. The acceleration is to much fun!
The little 6 sure has some get up and go now!

The little 6 sure has some get up and go now! Amazingly enough I just took my car out to grab a pack of smokes, and the air is really brisk around here right now.. So I jumped on it alittle, and couldnt stop myself from grinning ear to ear.. LOL!! I sure do love the lil sucker...
Well, have a Merry Christmas, and maybe santa might drop of an 06 V6 under the tree!!

I wish it was a stick but it was just an auto. Still it was sooooo nice to be behind a Stang again after driving a stationwagon! heh
I think I'm going to go grab some Dunkin Donuts coffee.
And yes you can break the wheels loose in an auto V6 . . . on a curve ( . . . on a deserted street) . . . making a u-turn.

umm yea-
the v6 is not meant for four adults- unless you like driving hunched under the steering wheel.
We tried that mess Saturday night. Did NOT work out.
VERY uncomfy. BUT two kids can fit back there okay.
I can vouch for lighting them up- I just can never remember NOT to do it when its wet outside.
