Perfectly legal in South Carolina . It's the law . Must be in your glove box or closed console. Why would you not "spread it around "? I didn't realize that I was doing anything wrong. Help me out here...

No, I didn't say it was wrong. It is, however, unwise because you're making very clear to anyone who reads this board that your vehicle can provide access to a firearm. Sure it may and probably will amount to nothing, but it's something that can bring unwanted attention to you and your vehicle. Just FYI, that's all.

I don't leave the gun in there when I'm not in it. I'm not sure what your hinting at. What type of unwanted attention?

I should have had the dealer throw in a spare with my V-6. Other than that everything is fine.

Well there's a ton of people that read this forum that are probably less than trustworthy... It's just something you don't advertise, unless you want a broken window and no more handgun in the console. And unless you're at home, I doubt you take it out every time you stop.

And good for you for carrying, I think every responsible adult should do so.

1) my address isn't on here but I don't live in fear worrying about someone breaking my mustang window and stealing a gun or the car. I'd post my address on here not thinking twice. I've never have lived in fear. I'm not stupid ; I do take precautions ; I do lock my doors to my home when I leave but as my dad told me as a kid, "a lock is for an honest man, a thief will steal your **** anyways. "
2) if my handgun is stolen , I have 5 more that could replace it and I have full coverage insurance on glass breakage. No loss really.
Take reasonable precautions but never live in fear for anyone. Now get you a handgun and put it in your console (or whatever your state law requires).

we need to get back on topic . Someone come steal my faux gas cap and not my handgun. Lol. I hate that thing!

There's a difference between living in fear and being responsible and circumspect. Perhaps you think a careless attitude is the opposite of living in fear; what you have done, actually, is now tell anyone who reads this board that your car and now your residence are both likely places to get their hands on weapons. You don't need to post your address; people who want it and who are the kind of individuals who would be willing to use the information you brazenly are making public can very easily find out anything about you they want to through nothing more than your interaction on this board...your IP address is searchable and verifiable, for example. As a former Marine, I know the difference between responsible behavior and bravado; waving a red flag and telling people you keep handguns in multiple locations is not what would be considered responsible. It DOES draw interest from people you don't want being interested in you. There's nothing wrong with a licensed individual carrying a concealed weapon; it's the concealed part that keeps someone from becoming a target. This topic is well away from the original thread however.

they could do the same on the countless gun forums that I'm on as well. Again, no worries.
However as a marine myself, you know as well as I do that there are marines that are scared of their own shadow, no "bravado" and no "responsibility". (The 10%).
---Haha. Exactly. You must've copied my post before the edit. Back to the topic ...

Semper Fi!

Of course, and fortunately they're the minuscule minority. It's easy to let oneself get carried away if a person doesn't stay grounded in truth and fact.

Semper Fi

Ahh, here's one. ..Rust proof rotors. Maybe brembos dont do this? Does anyone else's rotors get a rust film on them after a rain or damp weather? It goes away after the brakes are applied the first time when driving but looks like crap sitting in the yard until then.

In reading the middle section of this thread, the overall winner (???) would be the stereo/speaker system.

I must be the old, deaf fart here, as the shaker system works good for me. I don't compete with those who like to vibrate the other vehicles at a stop light with their bass cranked up. I guess they will be the future deaf old farts that will replace me someday.

Maybe Ford will offer other radio options in the future. I'll pass, as I liked the price tag on my Mustang when I bought it.

Those people will be deaf long before they're old.

Agreed. Just give me a good factory Bose any day over a million watts and four Punch 12" woofers in the back. Come on Ford, we want Bose.

Brembos or the Trackpack as options for the CS would be great.

This definitely, my brother ordered a 13 and was disappointed that these weren't available.

Vert

Sometimes, particularly this time of year, I wish I'd paid a few thousand extra for the vert.

I also sometimes regret choosing silver. It's such a humdrum, everyday color for cars. The Kona Blue might have been a better choice.

I am glad I bought the 2011 model. I don't like the way the Mustang grill looks like in its current version.

As a proud owner of a 2013 Mustang V6 Premium with the Pony package I am really enjoying my car. However if I could change some things this is what I would pick:

1. Recently road as the passenger on a cruvy road in the Washington Cascades with a buddy who was putting the car through her paces and I certain wished there was a grab bar for the passenger. The passenger really needs something to grab

2. Okay this bothers me, the arm rests on the doors, especially the part that you can put your hand into is not a solid piece but two pieces of plastic, that when you grip (because there is no grab bar) easily can be squeezed together. It just seems cheap.

3. Also cleaning the inside rear window is a pain in the rear. Then again I will deal with it because I love the styling of the car.

Heated mirrors.
Wow, I thought I was the only one whose knees are too close to the stering colunm. You know they make a clutch pedal extender so you can sit further back from the dash. I have not gotten one yet, just heard about it.
