I know. I had been looking on ebay and cars.com for weeks and the shots in the wheel wells and the bottom of the fenders were horrible for cars in snowy climates. I found a perfect one in Las Vegas with no rust, but that didn't work out. This one has rust on the bottom of the tailgate where a previous owner banged it against a trailer tongue more than once and it eventually rusted. Underneath it looks newer than my truck if you can believe that. She needs a little work, but she is in better shape than I could have hoped for after 12 years. Best hing is it's got the 351w. I've wanted on esince I was 8, and I finally got one. Last year they were built!

You should do a group photo of all your cars.

Yeah. I should, but I can never get all 4 clean at once. This is the best I could do so far.

Congrats bro!!

I also came from a V6 to a V8. I have a 2001 that I got back in high school and held onto it until I finished college and had been working for about a year or so. The v6 still looks great with the mods I did to it, and it still drives strong even after all these years. Still love that car

The 08 is a world of a difference. When I first got on it, it reminded me of the 2001 Cobras. The power is just addicting. My CS has been stock for about 6 months now, but the itch is beginning to come to me.....and that's a dangerous sign to my pocket lol!

gorgous! I like th erare premium interior upgrade package too! This is a great option that no one gets. its got the stiching on the dash, comsole lid and armrests instead of the cheap one piece plastic stamp, the alum gt500 pedel covers, the all alum shifter handle.. good luck!!

Nope he's online right now. Unless he's driving and posting or something. He's to busy talking about the '09 F150 to check on this old thread.

I love this car, so much fun to drive. Even fuel economy is not as bad as I though it would be, I average about 22-23 mpg combined driving.
I'm still getting used to this car's dimensions. My old Mustang is smaller and easier to park, especially in the garage next to F-150.
But overall, I'm really happy with my car.
