Wife went away during mid-afternoon and came home in a Redfire V6, auto tranny, leather, light graphite and....complete IUP. $1100 below sticker.
That makes us a two Mustang family. Our colors match someone else's (can't recall who it is) as do our engine combinations.

I believe that is Jack / aka Jaxxon that already has that color / engine / spouse combo.

Way to go.

BTW--where are car dealerships open on Sunday? They are closed in Louisiana, the last remaining throwback to the days of the old "blue laws", when everything retail was closed on Sunday, except restaurants.

The "Jaxxon"'s are in Illinois, so doubt you'll run across them at your neighborhood gas station but who knows, it's really a small world.
Good luck with your newest pony!

htwag,
Congrats on your new arrival. Yes, I have a W/B GT I got in Oct. and my wife got her Redfire V-6 in Nov. We are both enjoying our new rides. Nothing but positive comments on both.
Jack

It would be called paint. Don't quite know for sure why everyone seems their plates should be blurred or blacked out, but I went with the majority who do it. If I had some real cool vanity plate to display, would be a different story, but couldn't think of any when we ordered the plates, so ended up with some mox nix boring numbers.

They are definitely open here in CA on Sundays. I would bet more cars are sold here on weekends than Mon-Fri combined.

That reminds of when I lived in Jacksonville, FL back in the 80's. Liquor stores there were closed on Sundays, but all you had to do was drive over the line to the next county to find liquor stores open and packed with Jacksonville residents!

Closed on Sunday in this crappy state too..And most fun things keep Church hours on Sunday.(open 12-6 only) hate it. And my beloved guitar stores also closed on Sundays.

BTW- hubby wants a GT and I have a v6, so I guess I fit into the majority.

That is so cool. Now you can compare notes about your cars. Only question is: which will see more use? Will you take yours or hers? Best of luck with both. You have the best of both worlds.

Whenever we go places, my wife insists that I drive, which means the GT. I bought the GT for myself, because I have always enjoyed driving a manual shift, dual exhaust, performance car. She enjoys driving her V-6 automatic equally as much. It has more than enough power for her. It's all a matter of preference as to what each individual is satisfied with. She loves her Redfire V-6, and I prefer my Windveil Blue GT. As far as which will see more use, she accumulates more in town miles than I do, but mine sees more open highway travel. So we average about the same over all.
Jack
