I Finally Got One!!

[twetzel]

After several months of planning and shopping, and even more months of saving money, I finally got my first Mustang! It's a Performance Red 2000 GT w/ a 5spd. Here are some pictures (they're pretty poor quality - I'll try to get some better ones). I got it from a guy named Jim who spotted my post on Stangnet. (If you're reading this, "Thanks Jim!" ) It has all the usual mods - exhaust, gears, pulleys, shifter, wheels, throttle body, etc. He even gave me BBK headers, an off-road h, and coil-over shocks he hadn't installed yet.

This is the first modified Mustang I've driven, so for me it's fast as hell. And it got 23mpg driving it back from Steeleville, IL (in the boondocks, 70mi S of St. Louis)! I had two other Mustangs try to "race" me on the way back to my cousin's in St. Louis. Unfortunately I couldn't respond because the traffic was very heavy and my girlfriend was following me with a pickup-load of spare parts. The best part was that, just as I have read many times on this board, when they pulled alongside they gave a friendly wave and thumbs up. It really made me feel good to be a Mustang owner. Also, there are tons of ricers here in Wichita that I can't wait to tear up!
