Rented an '06 Mustang GT

So yesterday my dad and I rented a pretty much brand new 2006 Mustang GT Convertible in Tungsten.

I havent really had the chance to test out the car before and the power is INSANE.

Holy Crud.

I really want to get one now.

Oh, I also did my first two burnouts ever this morning, on an auto. Im 16 so thats why .

On a funny note, my mom takes it for like 3 seconds on a side street and is going pretty slow right, and some guy yells at us for going to fast as we drove past him. Crazy.

I love these cars.

Yep, the GT's have a tendency to sound fast even when your just idling... a little gas and you've got Mustang harmony!

Welcome to the herd!

Okay, you're 2 years older than I am and you can do burnouts. I'll be lucky if I can even get a Volkswagen Bug, my dad's favorite jokes.

I'd like to know what car rental company is renting the GTs! (As opposed to the V6s.)

We just went up to the airport and cruised through the rental return lanes. A whole bunch of companies rent the GTs. We got ours from Budget. I think Avis and Hertz and some others had them as well.

Steve, we returned it yesterday so no worries now . Oh! And I had to break the G1 regulations and drove my dads truck home by myself following him in the Mustang. That was exciting.
