Hey guy and gals! Well, finally decided to join mustang 6G after years of lurking in the shadows, using the site as an excellent resource when it came to mods/potential issues I was facing with my car. Don't really know why I never signed up, but finally decided to do so last night.
I may be a new member on M6G, but I'm definitely not new to the Mustang world/community. I've always loved muscle cars in general, ever since I was a kid. I bought my first mustang (and car) in 08, which was a Premium 08 V6. I absolutely loved that car, and had quite my fair share of fun with it, even with only 210hp. BUT, I obviously always drooled over passing V8s (and countless videos on youtube).
I finally purchased my first V8 in 2013 as a 2014 5.0. It was love at first sight. I had great ideas for that car, but all were cut short after a tragic car accident (aka some asshole cut in front of me from oncoming traffic in order to get into a parking lot, causing me to T-Bone him at 45mph) that left my car totaled, not to mention seriously injuring my back. So, it was bittersweet to pick up my new 2016 5.0, especially as I wasn't a huge fan of the s550 when they were first announced, but knew that the improvements over the S197 were substantial. Also, I couldn't help but accept the fact that modded s550s made the car look bada** A few (dozen) mods later, and I am absolutely in love with my car. I also have a '16 C7Z06, but I doubt this is the place to bring up my love for that car, haha.
I was also an active mustang member on instagram up until a few months ago when I decided to take a break. So, if the name AmericanV8Guy looks familiar to you, feel free to shoot me a message! I do miss talking with friends and followers on insta, so hopefully I'm able to find a few of you and catch up!
