My dad was called "The Boss" - now I have one!

I've been reading through this forum since my better half bought a '12 V6 Mustang. It was our first one and I was very impressed by the power and handling, especially for a V6. We went on a trip up the east coast and averaged just about 31 mpg, I was amazed. As you can see from the pic of me and my new 2013 Boss, I'm dressed in my GM garb. I was a Corvette guy all the way for almost 40 years. Well I was so enamered with my wife's Mustang I bought a 2007 GT500 to go along with my Vette. Just brought me back to the '60's muscle cars and it was very nostalgic to drive. Moved on to a Roush 427R with all the goodies. This took me from straight line power to a nice track machine. Got hooked and now I just love driving the Boss.....As I mentioned my dad was "The Boss" and he would just love this car.

Oh, my wife moved up herself to a '14 GT/CS. All the bells and whistles, very quick and a pleasure on a long trip.

It's the era of 60's muscle all over again but with more electronics, sophistication and daily drivability. Can't wait to see the 2015 in person.

Haven't warmed up to the 2014 Vette's new lines, but it drives great and is still on my list of cooooooooool cars.

Nice to meet you all.

Rob

Springstein - The real Boss

Funny you mention Springstein, my brother has the nose and a little of his look....can't play guitar or sing though. Here's the Roush and GT500.....don't have a pic of the wife's car.
