I only put 1500 miles on my Vert last year (pics)

Wow, Time fly's. I put my 05 GT Vert in the garage covered her and only took her out for evenings with my wife. Only on days where the top could be dropped. It still puts a grin on my face and it still turns heads. The first year I put over 12,000 miles on it and in the total three and a half years I've managed to put a total of 16,500.00 miles on it. I've fallen off the web site and haven't posted in nearly a year. Site is still the best Mustang site on the web. Cool stuff as always.

Sometimes it feels like I put 1500 miles on her last week. . .

She has about 48k on her now. She's the most fun I have had on wheels.

3100 Miles since last December. Much to my chagrin, have been caught in 2 thunderstorms. My wife and grown kids joke about the fact that during winter the car stays under a car cover in the garage. My policy -- don't drive it unless the top's down. I don't think that the A/C has been run except during the two thunderstorms.

Nothing like the Ragtop.

Well, I have about 10,700 on it since June of 05. I average about 3K a year - this year has been a little lighter, so when I put her in storage at the end of this month I should have about 11K. About 1000 miles fewer this year. I suppose the higher gas prices have kept me off the road a little more.

I've had my car for about a year, 16k miles on her. Around 10k of those are just extra, for fun miles

Don't regret any of it.
