Drove it home! 2020 401A 6-Speed with 4200 miles. I have been a member since Feb 2014, after the Dec 2013 Launch. I chose my member ID based on the model I planned to buy but things changed. Ive always wanted a S550 and came across a used one while selling my Accord. I searched for a Velocity Blue but saw this Grabber Lime and jumped at the car based on its condition. I know the next gen is around the corner but I did not want to wait and hope supply conditions improve. I am in Hampton Roads, hopefully a forum member owned it.

Drove into town. Bought wife coffee, dropped letter at post office. Three and a quarter miles from house as the crow flies. I'm not a crow. :crackup: Soooooo ............. I took the long way home. Gotta love those twisty off camber TX back roads. :rockon: Good thing the wife likes ice coffee. :clap:

Very nice. You did good. May I suggest McGard black lug nuts. They would make a nice inexpensive mod.

Thanks! I had installed those on a previous vehicle and saw some here on the PP wheels. I was wondering how that would look with these polished wheels, will do a search. As I parked in the garage I noticed a PPF line in the rear quarter panel when the light hit it just right. Upon further examination it appears that it has the full front package installed which runs about $2300 in my area so that was a pleasant surprise. I was kind of curious that even with the low miles the paint was in mint condition. Tint has been installed as well but those are the only 2 mods that I can find as of now. I love the digital dash in the 401 Package, so much great detail and color. The Grabber Lime without the Black Accent Package is a nice look but I am debating sone form of subtle graphics to tone it down just a bit, not that I don’t love the color.

Rear lugs blacked out, fronts still chrome for comparison. Click on photo for full size.

Ok so maybe most e1 knows this, but for those who don’t, or are newer Mustang owners, like us…

When car barely had any miles on it tried shifting into Sport, but shifts were too aggressive so had been just driving around in D.

Read one day on the forum to get smooth shifts that will still hold gears, put it in Track mode. Tried Track + shift into Sport and Track + shift into D.

Both combos are awesome with more low torque and holding gears, but Track + Sport still a little too aggressive for around town. Track + D is new fave!:rockon:

As a millennial about to hit 30 in 6mo:

I'm 36. Making new friends isn't hard. Just find others with similar interests and talk to them. Boom! More friends.
