2000 Ford Winstar SEL. Still have it. I'm going to keep it for bad weather days and hauling the kids around. It's now in the driveway while the Mustang occupies the garage. There are no words to explain how this car makes me feel after driving a van for the last 18 years. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I was driving a 1996 Chevy Blazer, Red, leather seats, complete package, 4x4. Still have it, runs like a champ, and is just shy of 300,000 miles. Can't beat it with a stick!

We still have it, but husband drives it now. Just went to Beaumont TX and back in it for work.

When I bought it back in 1998, I was looking for a Blazer. At the time I worked in Narcotics Division at the Sherriff's office. A guy from North Carolina called the office saying he had a blazer stolen from his car lot, and was recovered in our parish. It was being stored in our Shed.

He was going to have to file it on his insurance, plus pay two people to drive down to Louisiana to get it. I said,"hmmm, maybe we can work something out!"

I went to the shed with my captain, and saw it. I called the guy back and said, LETS DEAL.... So, I bought it for 13,000.

My license plate was STO LYN --- I had to get a different plate when I moved to MS, but I still have the Louisiana one in my bedroom hanging in my walk in closet

I still own a Bronze '97 Chevy S10. 2.2L 4cyl to a 4.6L 8cyl... a bit of a change. What really amazes me is that I'm someone who NEVER used to like to drive, and would always go out of my way to get someone else to drive if there was an option. Now I go out of my way to drive my Perf. White GT. What an amazing car!

1995 Laser Red Mustang GT 5-speed. It had 105K miles on it, still runs great, and hated to get rid of it. Would have made an excellent "beater."

I drove an '02 Mustang GT before I bought my '05 GT. It was a great car, but the '05 is just so much better of a vehicle in every area.

1990 Black Supercharged V6 3.8L Cougar XR7. I loved her to death. Only had 60 some thousand miles, we were the original owners. Gave it to my fiance to make room for my Mustang (and to still be able to keep it in a way) and he totaled her. We trying repairing her front axle and control arm, etc...But all the time and money spent last summer wasn't enough. Engine was still perfect, so we sold it. I miss her. When we had the people pick her up, I just sat in her and crying for like a half an hour before they came. I know, I'm pathetic. We bought her back in 89' so she's been with me since I was like 5 or 6.

These pictures on here are after he got it. There's my Jeep in the backround (that I had until I got the Mustang) next to my mom's Navi.

2000 Dodge Dakota V-8. Wife was driving 2001 Mustang V-6 vert. She didn't feel safe, so we traded the Dakota for a Durango and I started driving the Mustang. It was a nice car, but a little girly for me so I set my sights on my 2005 LL GT. Sold the vert. Now everybody's happy!

The Mustang GT will replace my wife's current car, a 1996 Nissan Altima. It's going to be hard not to modify the Mustang, but I think 300hp will be more than enough for her.
