After 2 yrs of saving and looking I bought this 2012 V6 this week. My father in law worked for Ford and with his Z plan it ended up being cheaper than the Honda Civic I almost bought.

After having a Civic since 1998 she saw I wasn't excited when I was about to sign for the new Civic, she said "Get what you want, just be sensible, this still has to be a family car." She is super!!!

So I got the V6 Auto that she can drive too (I know, I know) and it is incredible. It's like a vacation every time I drive it.

I took out some of my 20 something yr old friends and did doughnuts tonight. I'm giddy.

Here is a pic. You can see my old Civic in the background lurking like a jilted lover.

 

Very nice upgrade!!! Congrats!

 

Sweet. I'm glad you got what you really wanted after all. Don't hate autos. Great at the track!

 

Thanks! The automatic does make sense here in Baltimore traveling around the beltway. My last manual car around here was a pain in beltway stop and go traffic.

 

Nice!!!! The hard work and saving for 2 years paid off!! Enjoy her

 

Sweet!

 

Just added hood spears. GT steering wheel going on this weekend. So fun!

Congratulations! Very nice Mustang. Cool story. Enjoy.

 

Congrats - I hope it gives you many years of pleasure. I picked mine up about two weeks ago and am very pleased

 

Congrats!

 

GT Steering wheel in!! Only $150 off Rousch OEM take off supply. Feels so much better!

 

Congrats! Enjoy your new Mustang.

 

Congrats and keep us updated on the mods

 

Will do. I am probably going to add the fog lights next month when I get some more cash.
Currently I am checking I to installing a tablet (iPad or Galaxy Tab) where the Nav would normally be.
I can't find a dash kit that looks the way I want it.
Any thoughts?

 

Congrats on your new Stang! Looks very nice! The new steering wheel sure makes it much nicer!

 

Just got a Shaker 500 off a junkyard and put it in. Now I've got the satellite working and the GT steering wheel controls (that's why I wanted it.

I also got an extra faceplate from them and that will be held for my 7" iPad project install next year. Dunno if I can do it, but I'll try.

 

Great looking Mustang.....congrats. Must be sooooooooooooooooo much nicer than the Civic

 

Nice! Congratulations on coming over to the light!

Burnouts in Catonsville...w00t!

 

Nice...Good luck with her....!!!
