Hey everyone. I'm Derry. Joined the forum as I have been a huge mustang guy for a while now and wanted to join a mustang community. I'm 22 years old, and actually grew up in a chevy family, but meh, I'm into fords. Now, I wanna say, I know I may get hate, but I don't actually own a mustang yet. I've been working for awhile, and building up for my first actual owned car. Been driving since 2007, but now I've decided to work up for a mustang since my dad has his own and thats what really got me into mustangs as well. Anyways I hope this intro comes off ok and hope to talk to you all and learn from the forums.

 

Welcome Derry. Tell us a little about ur dad's ride...he do any mods?

 

Thanks. My dads gt is all stock. It's a 2006 gt convertible, lots of wear and tear on it too so Im going to be helping him do a mild restoration on it.

 

Post some pics of it. You will get some good ideas from TMS for the resto

 

Welcome to the forums! Can't wait to see pics!

hey were the same age! glad to see more people in SoCal getting into mustangs, welcome

 

Thanks everyone! Sorry I don't have my own mustang yet but ill be posting pics of my dads stang

 

Hi, welcome.

 

Thanks

 

Hello neighbor. I am from San Bernardino ( near cal state). What year mustang are you looking into?

 

Nice! You're close lol. Finance wise, my goal down the line is to get around 12,000, and maybe look at a mach 1. 2003-2004. I have 5000 now so it'll be awhile but I'm getting there. I had considered getting a foxbody to build up, so that is still an option for me. Any advice? I am building up money but its gonna take alot of patience.

 

Having had a F-body(1992), new edge(2002) and now a S197(2005) I would do a 05-09 GT before anything else. I like the look of the 05-09 mustangs better then the newer versions and they are way more comfortable and handle better then my f-body or new edge ever did.

 

welcome..

 

Thanks

 

S197s do handle pretty good. Only issue I have with them, at least the convertible model (my dads gt convertible) is the ride is a bit harsh especially over bumpy surfaces. Oh well. We're talking v8 powered pony cars, not luxury cars lol.
