I posted this in the general "introduce yourself" thread, but figured I'd post here as well to say hi to all of my neighbors.
Hello all,
I've been lurking on this forum for the past month or two while I made up my mind on what new car I wanted to buy. After much deliberating, I was down to a FRS/BRZ (my long-term choice for the past couple of years,) and this new-fangled Mustang thing (which I first saw in concept form at the Philly auto show last year, which definitely got my attention.) Well, a test drive was had last weekend, and this is what I drove home last night (in the snow, no less!)
Previous to this I have been driving around a 2006 Scion tC for nearly the past 10 years (bought it in early 2005.) For a time I was into showing it and did some mods, but as the years passed and the miles amassed it has been mostly reverted to stock. It still runs great, but at 176k, even with it being a Toyota it has started to have a few issues here and there, and I decided it was finally time to add a second car. I've only been talking about a new car for years!
Overall I obviously have a love for the imports, as well as domestics. Other cars in the running over the past few years have included the Camaro, WRX, and 370z. I grew up with a bunch of influence from my dad who is a pretty serious Chevy guy (and who has a badass '71 Chevelle.) He has forgiven me for buying a ford This is my first Mustang, but not my first Ford. That unfortunately dubious honor went to a late 90's Taurus which was my at the time wife's car. I'll be gentle in saying that it was junk, or maybe we just got a serious lemon. Thankfully it seems the brand quality has vastly improved since then!
The plan for now is to see how the aftermarket shakes out over the next year or so (and how I feel about the car by then.) I'm already very impressed with what has been done...which is largely why I'm here and a shiny new toy is in my driveway I'm sure the modding bug will bite me again eventually...
