Thumbs up

Brian,

1st I just want to say Sorry Buddy about the job situation for you and the wife.
Been there myself so I can relate.

Next I want to add my Congratulations on the New 2011 GT Mustang 5.0 in the above Pics.

Plus you have Money now for the next few yrs. until things get back in line.

Nice going.

Terry aka "tigerhonaker"

Thanks, Will. I can't wait to see a Lava Red '12. Our first one is due to arrive in 2 weeks. Needed the rebates and lower price of the '11 that I bought, otherwise I might have been tempted to wait a bit.

Thanks, Terry! Money in the bank, lower monthly payments, cheaper gas/insurance, and a new 5.0L. Live feels good - even if things are a little tight financially.

From one Sterling Grey owner to another, congrats and enjoy!

By the way, I miss the fanblade wheels on my '07 GT. I did get an extra set which I kept until I traded my '07 (gave the dealer the extra set and I took the scuffed ones off and kept them). I wonder what they would look like on the '10+ Mustang!

Sterling Gray FTW!!! Love the Fanblades - my favorite wheel on the 05-09's. For the '11's I like the Brembos the best - just wish I could have gotten an automatic trans with the Brembos. Putting the Fanblades on the 10/11's would be interesting, indeed.

If it does come in about when you expect, you will get good pics of it and post them here, right?

Thanks. So far, so good. We have a nice cash cushion set aside for a rainy day now, and we've been able to trim our monthly expenses by a fair amount.

Good deal. Hopefully your sacrifices are short-term and you guys can get back to what you're used to before long. Making cutbacks is definitely better than being unemployed right now.

The Fanblades do look good on the 2010! Thanks for the link! Too bad my Fanblades wouldn't fit on my '11 GT (due to the Brembos).

Amen. I'm thinking our cutbacks are more permanent so that when income starts to rise again we can bank even more money into savings.
