Size:  22.3 KBThis is my first Mustang, and I LOVE IT. The mods are fun to have. I like seeing all the different ways there are done. 8/17/2010 was the best day. Very low miles 2700, I have 2 other car, so this is an add on. Expedition hauling stuff, a Delta 88 for gas mileage AND THE MUSTANG FOR FUN!!!!!

This is far from my first Mustang; this Mustang makes #9, and #24 on my car list since I've been driving.

I'm coming from a 2007 Mazdaspeed 6, which was great for the first 10k miles, then slowly started having more and more issues until I got rid of it at 33k miles.

This 2011 Mustang 5.0 does make the highest factory hp rating I've owned too.

It might have, but I got rid of it before I had a strange random power issue diagnosed. It had a CV Boot let go and spray grease all over the inside of the wheel, oil leak from the transmission/engine, twice, driver window issue, alignment problems (probably induced by Mazda technician trying to align it to a normal Mazda6), and shifting issues...

This is MY first Mustang, although it's the second I've owned... My wife drove a '07 as her daily driver until she decided she wanted a SUV. I traded my '04 F-150 in on an Escape for her and drove her '07 for all of 2 days before I traded it in on a '11 MCA Edition in Race Red. I've since bought my dads '99 F-150, I gotta have something to tow the boat with.

This is my first. I drive it about 1/3 of the time, and hardly at all in the winter. My other car is a 2005 Toyota Prius. The Mustang is definitely a lot more fun to drive!

First one for me as well.

Started driving a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood until it was destroyed while someone tried to steal it. Went to a 1994 Explorer which I still have for winter driving (about to hit 200k)

This is my first Mustang. Never even considered one before, but absolutely feel in love with the newest body style. Traded in the Summer cruising wrangler for the new summer cruising Convertible!

my kona blue 2012 mustang which hopefully arrives here by end of july will be lots of firsts: first american car, first V8 powered car, first car with airconditioning...hahaha

my first car was a 1990 opel kadett gsi (european GM division) with 150 hp and my last one that I hate to see going now a 1999 classic mini cooper with 63 hp. so the 5.0 will be a huge change for me as you can see...lol

I will try to post a picture of the mini, it's such an awesome car and I will miss it so much.

My first Mustang. But my wife used to own a 1969 302 Mustang. This Mustang replaced my 97 Probe GTS. I looked at the 97 Mustang GT at the time but went for the probe instead. At the time it seemed like a better fit for me. My 2008 is the best car I have ever owned. Most likely will keep it a few more years. I am paying close attention to the new 5.0 Engines. Kicking around an idea. Put on a FRPP blower or use the money I would have put into FI plus selling my 08 to get into an 2012 or 13. Ah choices choices....

This is my first Mustang & my first american brand in 20 years. I'm enjoying it so far, I only have 252 miles on it. I can't decide whether or not I should mod it, I'd hate to throw away my powertrain warranty. All in all the car is gorgeous & it makes me happy just to look at it, let alone to get behind the wheel & go.

I'm kind of weird. The 2011 6MT GT 'Vert I bought June 2010 (when I was almost 48) was my very first Mustang. And I'd owned over 2 dozen cars over the years, including an '85 Iroc-Z (snicker, snicker), a Porsche 914 2.0, a CRX Si, a Civic Si, a '72 Corvette convertible, a '72 Cougar (back in the '70s, wasn't a collector car then), BMW 540i 6MT, Acura Legend GS 6MT, etc, etc.

So then thanks to medical issues I sold my 2011 'vert & ordered a 2012 GT coupe 6AT. So I am officially on my 2nd Mustang already, but it still seems like the 1st to me.

BTW, the only car I've owned previously that can come close to this 5.0 is the 540i. The Mustang is of course faster (the 540i was about a 14.1 sec/98mph 1/4-miler, not bad for a 1999 4-door), but that 540 sure was solid & did everything well. Hopefully the 'Stang will be more economical to own as the miles accumulate.
