Mini photoshoot 9-5-2012
I picked up the car on 8-11-2012 
Mods so far: flat black front pony cover, plasti-dipped "5.0" badges, hood struts, lightly tinted/painted the third brake light lens, '11-'12 GT500 mufflers with flat black-painted exhaust tips, and I've removed the no-longer-being-used stock hood prop rod.
More to come, of course
Today I was bored so I went out for a drive and pulled over into the first empty parking lot I saw, and snapped some pics, this time using my digital camera, not my cellphone

Gabe, Great looking car bud, I can't wait to see your plans....and I know you have some!
Out of habit I was looking for a charger!
For those that don't know, Gabe, Ronin38 and I used to own chargers and posted on the same forum(all very active) and now coming here and seeing such a familiar face is nice. Nice to see you again Gabe!

Thanks guys, and slostang/Trevor, yeah I've got some plans
I've started with the low-cost mods since I'm currently unemployed and even though I could, I'd rather not spend stupid money on mods that can wait

Thanks but I did it my way ... I ordered the car, I took delivery, 2 days later I gave my notice. I stayed long enough to get the employee discount ... lol
I've wanted to leave for quite a while ... getting headaches every day is no fun ... rarely do I get one now, while on my "sabbatical"
Meanwhile, I'm driving my awesome new toy, got over 1900 miles on her already, and today I'm gonna put another 100 or so ... gonna pass the 2,000-mile mark in less than a month

Congrats on the new ride. It looks great. I tinted the side markers (yellow and red)/rear lower reflectors and it changed the whole look of the car. I got my car mid July and I hit 3K this week.

I could also mention that the 3 of us have been seeing an increase of the number of Charger owners who have traded in on Mustangs!
Looks great Gabe! I'm still anticipating the "Wheel Thread" though!

He took my car for a drive not long ago and said he was VERY happy.
His new shop does in fact have a mustang guy in house(Performance Evolution)

This is my car on the dyno at the new HHP.

small world! thats cool man, yeah I was up there maybe 2 years ago at the old shop but actually followed him to a mustang shop to dyno my hemi truck.. Say if you ever see a black hemi Ram with a twin turbo setup up there thats my buddy Mike. He designed that twin turbo himself at his home garage but lets Josh do the tuning. Im definitely heading up there soon, hope to catch up sometime
