You guys have awesome Mustang histories. Feel like such a newbie on my first:
2011 GT, 10+ months of pure V8 bliss
'Stangs have always been in my family though. My dad's had:
1988 LX Hatch - new then sold for:
1994 GT (I really miss the blue these came in) - new then sold
2001 Cobra - still has
Wasn't old enough to drive the '88 when he had it, but man I remember that thing being loud. Had a little supervised seat time in the '94... Now, when I visit home, we take turns running a little highway lap near the house in the '01 Cobra. I've got him crazy jealous right now, but he's on the verge of getting a GT500. I begged him to at least let me have a year of owning the better car.

2001 Black Mustang GT (2002 - 2007)
2012 Lava Red Mustang GT (????-????)
I have been planning and plotting to buy my next Mustang since the day I traded the 2001. Unless something goes horribly wrong, I don't ever see myself driving anything else. My next car will be a 2015 GT 'vert. You can count on that. ;-)
