Greetings from Atlanta! I just became the proud owner of an OW/Saddle GT PP 6MT, and in the limited miles I've put on her, have fallen in love. I'm not very patient, so I chose to search for a car instead of ordering. I got lucky in two ways... I spotted a Mustang with the right options the day the dealer put it on the interwebs and when I called the dealer to tell them I was on my way, my salesman pulled the keys for the car immediately. That was lucky because by the time I got to the dealership, there were 3 other people waiting to buy it :eyebulge:

My previous two vehicles were both Lexus's... a supercharged 2000 that I still have, and a 2008 that I traded in on the Mustang. I was a little leery that the Mustang wouldn't live up to either Lexus in the comfort & convenience department, but with each new thing I learn about the S550, I grow more impressed... Ford has done a great job with this vehicle! In fact, I'm also thinking about replacing my wifes 10 yr old MDX with an Explorer. :ford:

Anyways... I'll post some pix when the sun comes back out. I hope everyone has a great Holiday season and now it's time to let the modding begin :headbang:

Congrats on the new Stang! You will love it for sure. They are great cars. Not perfect but tons of fun. Happy Holidays as well.

Congrats on your new Mustang! Like Dr. Ding said, they are not perfect but by far the best Mustang I have ever owned. Go ahead and open your wallet because mods are coming.

Nothing exciting
Congrats!

Check out the regional sub-forums as well. The S550 club in Atlanta has quite a few members.

I am digging on mine too, also my first Ford/Mustang (kind of the first one I've really considered), and funny enough, I'm an ex-S2K owner as well (there's actually a small contingent of S2K > S550 folks on here).

Congrats, but remember that Ford service is not Lexus service. If that's important to you, you might want to reconsider going all in with Ford. I love the Mustang, but the initial quality and service have left a lot to be desired.

LOL! Since it's been raining here for 3 days, I just figured I'd save everyone some bandwidth by not posting pix of a stock car that was wet :eek:

I understand completely... although the Ford dealer I purchased from seems to be top notch.

This...problem is, I am being forced to help a squad that is short all weekend. I hate my DC. Won't be able to enjoy the heatwave.

Welcome to the club Mumbles.....Good choice on the PP.
