OK, you guys must be getting tired of threads like this, but I spotted my very first 2005 Mustang! As they are indeed a rare breed over here, I was suprised when one pulled up and parked right next to me on my way home from work today. So what was it then?

Answer: A Redfire GT convertible, light parchment interior, parchment top, manual, no IUP, 17" optional wheels. What did I think? Well, first thing I was so surprised I almost missed it, but eventually I pulled myself together and managed to snap a few shots with my cell phone. The Redfire is GORGEOUS, here it was in bright sunlight. The sound is AWESOME although all I heard was from it backing up to parallell park. That sounded good, too. The fact that it was loaded with 4 lovely female high school graduates in short skirts didn't make things worse.

It is so much smaller than I thought it would be! Even with Euro standards, where trucks and 4x4s are not dominating, it is small! Love it, just a perfect size. And its' "stance" is great, it looks mean. Only flaw I could see was severe fog/condensation around the inside edges of the headlight covers. Do any of you guys get the same, especially in current conditions here, i.e. cold nights (low 40's) and warm days?

Anyway, just wanted to share. I'm all happy.

I haven't noticed any condensation on the light covers, but I've been very worried about it, or with water getting in there from all the washings. (crossing my fingers and knocking on wood)

You have summers in Sweeden?
I thought there was snow on the ground all the time there.
Just kidding.

Nice feeling to see that first '05.

I live about 150 miles from AAI and I saw one of test mules last July.
I bout went in the ditch.

From: Canada
Headlamps have vents in them to stop condensation.
If you see it, once the lamp heats up, it should disappear
