I need mustang therapy- I am already planning my second mustang. a nice torch red vert would be nice......

 

Did the trade today and drove 300km bringing it home. Took it cool and drove between 100 and 125 kph. Using the message centre for reference I got 23mpg . I was very pleased!!!! The stripes , I decided , were Mickey Mouse and they are being removed before I officially take delivery on Monday or Tuesday. I felt like acelebrity with all the looks we got. What an ego builder!! I love it , It has the spirit of the sixties stangs that I owned.

 

Congrats, Karrnutt. I am your same age and understand completely, first car was a '52 Ford and I've had over 50 since, including my fair share of 'stangs, mostly verts.

I can see how you got into the Escape and then decided on the 'stang. I traded my '01 Escape on my current '03 GT vert. I have a yellow '05 vert on order.

For a few years I thought I may have recovered somewhat from being bitten by the car bug early on in life. Then Ford brought out the '89 SHO, and I got the first one in my part of the country. It seems you just never completely recover once bitten. My wife's a 'stang fan also, she had a brand new yellow '70 Mach 1, 351 Cleveland, Hurst shifter, when I met her.

Yup, it's the same spirit of the original Mustang's in the 60's. I got my first Mustang 30 years ago when I was a "dashing 22 year old" too but I bought it used in the mid-70's. The only music I've played so far in it is from that era and if driving your Stang listening to classic rock n roll doesn't put a spring in your step I don't know what does! Congrats!! PS Love your color!
