Afternoon all... Took my wife to our favorite dealership Thursday night to "Look" at Mustangs... She immediately fell in love with a used 2014 GT Premium Convertible... Until I asked about the rollover safety... Went home... Any time on Friday that we spoke to each other... Mustang on the brain...

"She" wanted to go look at Mustangs and made the mistake of taking me with her... First two pics of our new baby are below...

Long story short. I was wanting to get a 2015 or 2014.5 (Whatever they officially become) but could not take myself away from one of the GT's they had on the lot . My wife and I sold all our "Toy's" and her 2007 GT a few years back to gather enough $$ for a down payment on a home... And to be frank, it was the only car we have ever missed and speak of fondly when it comes to mind.

Soooooo... I left the office early on Friday so we could see the Stangs in daylight this time. Only to have the rain and wind kick our butts. Man it was cold... Really liked two of the Stangs they had... One fully loaded, one I affectionately call... A semi-real sports-car trim. The basic GT with no frills and the Auto (Wife needs the auto, long story). Told our sales guy to make a deal for xyz and we will buy it. Went home for the evening... They called about an hour after we got home and said we got what we wanted... Drove back, picked her up in the dark, they stayed 40 or so past closing to finish up...

This was our 15th purchase from Ford, and 9th from the same dealer (Seventh from same salesman. All the others had been from different dealerships) and something like the 30th vehicle we have owned.

By far this is the most fun, "Soul" feeding car we have owned thus far...

Still coming up with a name for her.

The forum name I chose is in the love of the last S197 model year and in loving memory of our son that we lost a few years ago, and would have been 25 this year...

We do plan to do upgrades little by little. And God willing, we will have this car in our stable until we can no longer drive... Or Ford comes out with a Stang that cannot be ignored... lol...

 

Super nice purchase! Jealous!

 

Welcome and congrats.

 

Congrats and welcome. Nice looking Stang. Cool story.

 

congrat on ur new purchase!!! would be tough fight every time who gets to drive it.

 

Congrats and welcome.

 

Saw where you guys were getting some really cold and foul weather up there. I love reading stories from car guys (and gals) and look forward to seeing what you do with this car. Sounds like you got a deal you couldn't refuse. I have my eye on a white 2014 GT/CS in the showroom here in Norman OK I would like to snag for my wife. Auto too!

 

Welcome to TMS!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone =]
