I bought the car 3 months after I turned 22. It was an engagement present to myself!

49, GT Coupe, and NOT a mid-life crisis car...just the latest in a long list of performance cars. It'll be a sad day when I'm no longer driving a RWD manual V8.

Black GT Coupe Premium, every option but the auto. I'm 18 now but it'll be 19 on Friday the 13th and I'm sure I won't be getting it before then. This will be my fourth car overall, and my third Mustang, but first GT. I hope I picked the right year to upgrade and from the sounds of things, I did. I've paid entirely for every one of my cars.

I'm 27 years old. I was never into Mustangs before. I just got sick of seeing everything on the road having no style and that's why I am getting this new one. Not only that but this is my first time buying a brand-new car ever, and now that I can afford it, I want to spoil myself.

I just turned 41 and couldn't feel younger! Got my 'Stang on Monday and it was a great way to start the week. I bought my first Mustang when I was 32. Late bloomer!

40 year old female - GT Coupe. Married with a 16 (almost 17) year old son. It's fun to be the cool mom picking him up from school in something other than the usual mini van (no offense intended to mini vans!) I've AWLAYS wanted a Mustang and now that I finally have one I'm just sorry I wasted so much time driving anything else!!!! Mustangs from now on!!!!!

Turning 40 in July. GT Vert. Not a mid-life crisis car. When I bought my first Mustang in 2000 I really wanted a GT then but just couldn't swing it. But as soon as I saw the re-design Stang I knew I was getting one and it would be a GT this time. However, my wife talked me into the Vert. Geting built next week.

37, male and will be picking up my V6 tomorrow night! I've owned V8 Mustangs with manual transmissions most of my life, but I have a tough commute (60+ miles each way) through cities and suburbs and am really looking forward to the automatic and traction control in the winter!!

After the test drive, the "sales manager" came over and told me that there was an exact same version of the car tucked in the back of the dealership with all of the packing materials still on it.

So far, the people at the dealer have been great, but there's still the whole F&I root canal tomorrow... But I'm optimistic that the overall experience will be good!

I'm 41 and consider myself a "Mustang person". This is my sixth one and my favorite so far. I really haven't disliked any of them to be honest, but this one just has several things going for it the others didn't. The heart of a legend and the refinement that technology and innovation brings. Just an awesome car.

Am I mid-life? Yea. Am I in a crisis?? Naa..don't think so, but many who don't know I've owned six in the past might think so. Do I care what most of them think?? Naa...I have too much fun looking at them point, stare and WHOA my car as I drive by.
