It's been about 9 months since I've posted anything so I thought I'd share my update. My car is a 2015 model and was ordered 5/20/2014 and built October 2014. I took delivery the day after Thanksgiving 2014. I now have a slightly more than 18,000 miles on the car. The only problem I've had with...
I started a new job 2 weeks ago that requires me to commute daily 25 miles each way in stop and go traffic (45 minutes ~ 60+ minutes each way). Previously, I worked from home and only drove my 2015 Mustang GT for pleasure, almost never in stop and go traffic.
Since I'm driving more (1,000 more...
I know many folks who have Mustang GTs with the base suspension and Ecoboost Mustangs with PP have been interested hearing from those who've had the TSB repair done to stop the brake squeal issue.
A week ago, I finally took my 2015 Mustang GT in for its first maintenance/oil change at 6,200...
Thought you all would enjoy this pic of me (looking like a stick of celery!) at age 16 with my first car and me today in my mid-50s with my current car. My current Mustang is #16. I've seen a lot of changes throughout life and so has Ford Mustang. I wish I aged as well as the Mustang, LOL!
The...
Like many other owners of 2015 Mustang GTs with the base suspension and EBs w/PP that were built before Feb 11, 2015, my car has the brake squeal issue. I've heard others describe the volume of the squeal as worthy of a garbage truck and I agree. Most of the time, if you do a normal stop, the...
The weather was perfect in the Dallas area this weekend so I detailed my car, took her out for a 2-hour spin, and took these photos. Race Red is really an intense red in bright sun but I think my camera did a fairly good job of capturing the color accurately.

Dallas, TX has had 3 or 4 waves of snow and ice storms in the past 2-3 weeks. This is unusual for the Dallas area. If we do get snow and ice, it's usually just one storm and it melts in the same or next day. This time, I had several opportunities to experience the frozen stuff in my 2015 Mustang...
Thought I'd check in with my fellow Mustang6G friends at the 2,610 mark on the odometer and let you know how we're doing.
In a word: Fantastic. I've only had one problem - the passenger seat. The magnetic button used by the leather seat belt retainer fell off from the seat back due to it either...
Some of you have asked to see photos of my previous Mustangs. Instead of uploading a bunch of photos to wade through, I thought I'd just make a collage of them all (1999 model not pictured). This collage represents all gens of Mustang except gen 2 (Mustang II). The year models are listed in my...
I love vintage Mustangs but this vintage road test of the 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR (428 CJ) is a good visual reminder of how far Mustangs have advanced in over four decades.
Also, check out this video's youtube channel for other vintage road tests. They're a hoot to watch!

Summary
I've owned my car for a week now and after 450 miles, thought I'd share my initial impression of my car. It was built on Oct 22 and was, I believe, among the first retail 2015 Mustangs to be built. Delivery was very late, however, due to a quality control hold for three weeks at the...
She arrived on the transport truck this morning and hasn't finished make-ready. She comes home on Saturday.
The dealer already put their insignia on the back however (even though I previously asked them not to). The insignia is attached via adhesive so I'll remove it when I get home. I...
The issue of the 2015 EcoBoost Mustang using active noise cancellation to make the engine sound better inside the cabin has been well debated, probably to the point of beating a dead horse. Apparently, it's not really all that newsworthy for BMW, Audi, Acura, VW, and others to use this...
