well, I got mine back on Dec 2nd. Been way too busy to post and hardly enough time to drive her around. I must admit, its way more than I ever thought it would be. Now i have to admit a little dark secret of mine. I never liked Fords, swore I'd NEVER own one for all my life. See, I have always owned a truck for as long as I've driven, and it was never a ford. But when I saw the pictures of that car a year ago, I knew that was what I would have. So, i have seen the light, and it is good! Well, in almost a month Ive managed 1000 miles of pure, unadultrated, driving fun. It has been great. Where I live I am one of about four that I see on a regular basis, but ive got the only GT, and the only one with all the upgrades and red leather (unhappy checking account). I have to say, that I love them all and I take time to talk to all the other owners when I see them out. But anyways. My favorite story so far is the girl at Sonic. See, I'm addicted to stawberry lime-ade. So I pull in, everyone gawks (my favorite part) and I finially get up to the front to the drive though line. The girl says "Dont you think that car looks odd?" To which I reply "NO." She then says, "I think it looks funny." I then asked her how old she was (16) and I then said to her that at 16 I dont expect her to understand the history and tradition that this car has. She just shrugged her shoulders and left. But I had to take some time and post my message like everyone else and say how much i love this car.

Beautiful car! Mineral Grey was my first choice, but I coulnd't find one with the Drk Charcoal int. so I went with white. My other Mustang, '01 V6 is Mineral Grey and if someone so much as drives by it looks like I haven't washed it in a month. Wait....I haven't washed it in a month because I've been too busy keeping the new one clean! The red leather looks great too!

Hey Gary,

Great choice in color! I drove the GT and loved the power, but had a fear my teen daughter might have problems with it later, and decided on the V-6. I share your enthusiasm for the car also.

Beautiful carGary. Mineral Gray was my second color choice. It really looks good with the red interior. Enjoy that car and stay safe on the job so you can enjoy your baby for many years to come.

WOW!!!! That's a great looking car Gary. There is no doubt now, I will definitely be ordering a Mineral Gray with the red leather. There just aren't many quality pictures that gives a good representation of the mineral gray with the red interior. However, your pictures in the front yard do a good job and have convinced me. Thanks!
