How much does it cost for a full tank of gas over there?
Way Over $4 for the gallon.
It's pretty tough over there if you're a motorhead.
I'm glad I live in the US now.

Art, very nice ride. I'd love to see some photos of the front and the rear with the license plates visible, could you snap some? That'd be sweet. Also, did you get the license plates yourself? What's the sizes? It's a smaller one in the rear, right? I've heard that it's often difficult to get two square license plates, I wonder if a large, wide one wouldn't look better anyway in the front?

Heh Peter, who's car is that? Do these guys import Mustangs to Germany or what?

I live across the border in Poland.The new Mustang would turn here more heads than a Ferrari!
How much did you pay for it with all the taxes?

My friend and I took this one this evening in front of the Heidelberg Castle. It is fun talking to different people who know about the car or are just curious.

Since it has more than 600 miles on it already (in 3 days) I cranked it up on the autobahn on the way to a get-together. It hit 130 mph with no trouble. The kids are in love with it, but my 3 year old insists it is "lila" or purple, cause in the shadows it has a slight purple hue, and he first rode in it at night. <sigh>

There is an importer, at www.2005mustang.de I think, who charges 34,000 Euro, to answer your questions, Ralph and Wombert.

Thanks Ron, Macs rule. Mine is 3 years old and still running strong. No problems at all.

Going to go BMW hunting this weekend. I hope I can get some video and that the weather cooperates.

Your kidding! And I thought he mentioned the story just because he went there.

Seriously, thanks, and yes, I was watching Eric Dickerson in college. I still haven't found out the straight dope, i.e. was the car named after the mascot?

Seems to me there is a similarity here: But of course the Jacksonville Jaguars had to CHANGE their helmets and logo because of this very thing.

No, the Mustang car was named after the WWII fighter plane, P-51 Mustang.

Dunno why SMU is named the Mustang.

Hmmm. But you have to admit there is a serious similiarity there.
