Um, do you want to clean the car after riding a red clay mud road twice?

No?

What do you think? Is yellow the best? B)
You are welcome.....
Yellow is..........Bright, eye catching and beautiful. If not for my husband and Dad I would have never considered it. I love it.

Because I wanted the v6- I preferred its wheels and badges to the GT.

I don't need superpowers....Shes like Goldilocks says- JUST RIGHT

Congratulations April!! I never thought I would see the day an 05 made it to your driveway. Your Mustang is beautiful. Maybe it needs a red X on it!?

Question- Do I take her down to the country Christmas eve? Its at my Aunts house- 1 solid mile down a red clay pothole ridden muddy crappy hilly driveway........Or leave her here and hide her?
I would take her. But just drive realllll slow down the driveway.Ya know ya wanna show her off for the family,and beside you dont wanna leave her all cold and alone in your garage? Think about it,if ya take her to aunts house,you can always sneak away and have some turkey dinner with your new love... :-)

Sleep eluded me.

Its winter break, so I don't have to be up to get the kids to school- 5 AM I could not sleep. Up I went to go check on her. I am ten feet from her now, and she is all cold and lonely. She needs driven.

I still have not had the pleasure of taking her to the kids school to show the other mamas that just cause they have kids doesn't mean they are dead and must drive vans.


Pinch me, I am still in shock. I registered her on the yellow mustang registry last night too. Today I take her to the bank and to get insured up. Back in the spring I got a quote of $80 a month for over coverage-0 deductibles,glass replace etc. She is going to need gap insurance too.


I will 99% likely be leaving her home Christmas eve- she does not deserve mud on her, or people I dislike touching her. Yesterday I told B. I was going to break her in- when I got back, he said where the hades were you? In Sprott showing my Dad..........He was mad I took her down there......Didn't want me to get her muddy. I am keeping all her stickers etc in my book with the articles etc.

Car Tag Ideas:seems most of the pony/horse tags are took

I just had my first encounter with a second 05 owner. I went to inquire about stripes- in the parking lot sat a torch red GT-manual IUP, bullitts. We admired each others cars. He got his in Huntsville, shes beautiful.

When I went to take my raping from the insurance ( $117 a month for full coverage+ ACV Comprehensive), the agent about had a heart attack over it. Looked all over and in it.

I have some orange peel on the area between the driver door and back window- can it be fixed?

I have been playing little sibling with the other mustangs on the road- its fun!

It also is not good for my ego- I have never EVER had a two lane highway where the car in the right lane keeps pace with me to stare at her. People all staring, giving thumbs up, its frigging great!!!!!

I went to get the boy NFS2- the geeks in there were all like- LOOK it has a mustang in it, (rice) I said- they outta be arrested for doing such to a fine piece of machinery.

Went to Autozone, I parked her up front, two men peeked at her- came in looked at me and said- we were just looking.

Tested Led Zeppelin today- KICKS! But I really like to hear her talk to me too.

nope....

I have insurance, I just had to get the bad news on how much it was going to cost me. I was covered soon as the dealer made the call.......$117 a month, but I gotta up my deductibles a little bit. Same coverage as the alero- which is a family car at $85 per month.

$117 a month is a lot. I live on the MA border where auto theft and winter accidents are out of control, not to mention I'm only 26 and Progressive quoted me on a GT at $107 a month with max coverage and $100 deductables. I suggest you shop around more?
