New Boss Owner!

Well, last weekend, my wife and I picked up a 2012 Kona Blue Boss 302.
We traded in my '12 Base GT and are extremely satisfied in the move up!
It's nice to be back in a warranty and in a special edition car again.
After having two A/C issues in the GT... both out of warranty... we knew it was either buy an extended warranty or get something new...
...We got something new!
From what I can see and feel, all stock.
She sounds amazing, drives amazing, and looks amazing! ...the car.
I'm quite excited!

Congrats she's a beauty! But you mean to tell me your '12 GT was out of warranty? You must drive crazy miles!

My wife, then girlfriend and fiance, used to live in Fort Worth, TX while attending TCU and I was in College Station at Texas A&M, Then after graduating I moved to Houston before we got married in May '13... I drove up every weekend to see her for the last few years... The GT saw it's highway time. lol It was a commuter... 45,000 in one year. lol AC went out at 39k, then again at 42k.

Thanks everyone!

Commutes, no more! Done! Since June... miles are down to around 150 per week (Yes, it is my DD lol and probably will be for another 2-3 years). She has 20k miles on the odo.

That 1LE owner is a lucky guy to be able to park next to a Boss 302.
Good luck with your new ride....Enjoy!

Yeah, those 1LEs are awesome looking... the wheel/tire combo is what really sets it off!

And tracking it... every so often... but not to the extent it needs to be driven. I'm basically the guy with the Grey Hound that just likes to play fetch with it.

I actually went to the free track day at Eagles Canyon Raceway after the Cars & Coffee meet earlier this year. I did a few runs in my '12 GT.

I loved it! I guess it makes sense that all I saw there were Boss 302s and one Shelby. I didn't fit in. lol
