What did you do to your '10-'14 today?

Having just returned to the Mustang family after being in a Jeep for a couple years, I thought I'd start a thread that steals the concept from a couple of the Jeep forums I used to be on. There's no doubt that Mustangs and Jeeps are the two most owner-modified vehicles on the planet. On those forums, these threads go for hundreds of pages so I thought it might be fun. Just state and/or post pictures of what you've done TO your 2010-2014 Mustang today.

I'll start: I acquired it! I traded in my Jeep for a brand new 2014 DIB Track Pack GT. It feels SO GOOD to be back in the saddle! Only have a few cell phone pics for now. Sorry.

Congrats.

As to myself - Today, I tried very very hard to keep my speed to no more than a few km/h over the speed limit.

Drove it to work. Parked it in a parking lot where it is sure to get dirty. That's the life of a daily driver. May even get a little overspray on it with the wind coming out of the south like it is. But, at least I do get to enjoy driving it every weekday!

This is actually my first post in these forums. I just bought my GT 10 days ago after not having a mustang for 20 + years. It is Sterling Gray with about 500 miles on it. To date I put Pypes axle back exhaust on it and the "Coyote" third light tint. I have the 8 inch Lemans stripes in Black Goss to put on next but I am debating whether to have them professionally done for a few hundred dollars.

I drive the car daily but I do want to add the hood struts, aluminum driveshaft, 3.73 rear end gears and new LCA's.

I love the car and will get some pictures up. The exhaust sounds bad *** and makes me feel like a teenager again.

Drove the car 15 miles in the pouring rain allowing my fresh wax job to take a beating so I could get some Quizno's for lunch…and it was worth every raindrop.

Nice car OP! Congrats and enjoy.
Did this to the green machine today; Took her to get the annual inspection sticker in the morning. Gave her a nice detail after doing a little yard work today.
Going to do the inside of the wheels, the outer wheels and add some more Zaino tire shine to the tires tomorrow.

Drove it on a little out of town trip for brunch and shopping. He was thirsty so we stopped at Exxon for a drink.


Nice photos.

Yes I am.

Took it in for a first oil change last week. Could hear it in the waiting room when they fired it up. I'm like, that's my baby. They liked it.

They also washed it and the guy took it down the road to dry. So I finally got to hear what it sounds like from a by standers point of view. Sounds good.

I made this little video last month. Don't think mine sounds as good because it's an automatic. I need to find a secluded spot where I can make some better videos. Like to compare a take offs.

Drove mine 807 miles from New Johnsonville, TN to Lithia, FL. Car was fantastic in the crappy weather conditions coming thru the mountains.

Averaged just over 23 mpg

Good thread but already one exists in the general chat forum. Mods will probably merge.

Even with the cell phone pics that DIB looks amazing. I am in the process of Clay Baring and Waxing mine due to 4 days of rain we are suppose to get. I have the Luxury of not having to use my Stang as a daily driver.

That's awesome.
I got to see and hear my car from someone else driving it and leaving it idling in the garage as they gave me my inspection sticker. Three of the mechanics commented on it to me. It sounded nasty. I was pleased. lol

First.....rmurer, where did you get the pinstripes? Your car looks great.

Today I realized that I spent over $400 just on fuel last month. LMAO. Oh well. Had tons of fun though.

Took the car in this morning to have the drivers side illuminated doorsill replaced since it was full of water, all is good now and only took 30 minutes for them to swap out.

Also took the car in for it's first oil change at 1,000 miles last week (to get any possible casting flash out of the engine).
