Went out today & picked up a 2008 Mustang GT in vapor silver today. What a differance from driving the truck. Going to back driving back & forth to work alot more fun. Truck will last alot longer now.

Congrats! Nice ride!


It must be in the air...

I hung out at the Dodge dealer today checking out a new Challenger in Silver. Awesome!

Just looking though... No fun for me!


Enjoy!

Challenger is a nice looking car but the SRT would have been a little much for a daily driver. New Camaro has potential but i didn't want to wait.

Wow new 328 for college - things have changed alot since I was in college. BMW makes very nice cars - wife has a 525. We have found that the 325 that we had before it held its value alot better than the 5 series.

Another big reason for me picking the Stang is my best friend is a service manager for a Ford dealer so I have great connection there.

The new 3 series coupes seem to have a little different body style than the sedans.

A friend of mine's dad bought a Roush (previous body though) convertible last year. What a fun car that is.

I've been trying to tell the wife that a small coupe would do me best as no one rides with me much. No dice...

Congrats. I've had my '08 GT for about 7200 miles thus far:



Plus a few mods here and there...

Geez Jim, that's a beauty. That would explain your lack of post the past few months...

We pass two Ford dealers on the way to the lake. I pick out my new Mustang each week.

captkevin, pics of yours?

Thanks,

I pass by one on my way up to the lake, always has a Roush or a Shelby GT out in front. Beauties.

Actually, I have neither posted, not boated, much this year because this has probably been the most challenging summer (work-wise) of my career. Combined with bad weather, contributed to maybe 20 hours of boat time.

But I get to drive my car every day regardless...
