no, stanny was a college nickname. shortened version of my last name. I figured it might be one of those two

Beautiful car and great wheels!
My woman wanted those for her car, but after waiting for them to be restocked a few times , she gave up.
And I predict you'll be bitten for life.
But there's way worse habits.....

Funny story I actually purchased a cheaper set of rims from discounttire but when I went in for the installation, they realized the rims touched the calipers so the manager let me choose from anything they had. Went with the TSW Sebrings which do sit pretty far in so I installed 20mm Eibach spacers all around after.

And yes I have almost 5k worth of mods already done within the first month haha.

2004 Mustang V6 with pony pkg and all available options. Five speed. It sucked. Bought it brand new. I was 22, didn't know what I was doing, signed a predatory loan for 14% APR - 500 BUCKS A MONTH for six years....at 14% interest. I paid 24 payments and knocked out about 1,500 dollars in principle. Let that one go as a voluntary repossession.

2013 Mustang - also a V6, with zero options, manual transmission. 10% interest, since that repo was still on my credit report....it was less fun than I had expected, and I traded it in for an F150 less than a year after purchase, mainly for lower rates since my credit had improved substantially. I was 30.

2014 Mustang GT - I took my F150 to the track, and realized that i wasn't a truck guy....bought a 2014 Mustang GT Premium, 6R80, 3.15 rear. That car was cursed from day one - things kept going wrong, and it just wasn't particularly fun. I was 32 when I bought this.

2015 Mustang GT Premium - Recaro equipped - I financed more than ever, but I got a low rate for once...this car was fantastic. MT82 died @ 70K and a botched Magnum XL swap, along with mounting medical bills from a hiatal hernia - the best thing to do was to get rid of it...so I traded it for a Ford Escape....and I traded that for a better ford Escape a year later. They were slow and boring and just fine for the difficult times I was dealing with.

2021 Mustang GT - base, 10R80, NO options...I decided to do one more fun car, I was 39, and seven people I knew had died from various things over the past year, and three of those seven people were exactly twice my age, which is the average age of death for males...so...midlife crisis it is!

That's not really what I meant...the data is there...

The wheels on your ride are sweet.

 

[Johnny Rockit]

So has anyone taken all of the ages posted and averaged them out yet?

There should be a working spreadsheet like the one out out there in DIY for As Built data...

I have no idea how to accomplish such a task. Lol

I have only driven my car for 102 miles so I until I get some miles on it and become familiar with the technology I am staying stock. If I come across a set that really grabs my attention, I may swap out my all black.

 

[Kurtis502]

I'm 63. Bought my first Mustang in 1977, a 1970 Boss 302, my second mustang a 1967 fastback, then a 1969 Boss 429, and my latest is 2019 Bullett (whippled with 703 hp at the tires)
Still have all of them. I'm going to let my kids fight over them, hopefully much later.

I had a 71 coupe with a 302 and a stick that had no heat and rear floors were just carpet. Aside from the nice Cragar ET wheels and M/T valve covers it was a mess. Paid $85 with the clutch and trans in the trunk. Towed it home with garden hose about 17 miles. Seized the engine on a fast, hot ride and it ended up at Tosie's Mustang Farm.
The 73 I had cost me $150 because it had been stolen and the B&M shifter was stolen. There were two servo cover bolts missing where the shifter bracket mounted and when the owner tried to move it the cover blew out and leaked a bunch of blue fluid in his driveway. He was headed to basic the following week and had to get it gone. Found out the frame rail was junk and the steering box would pull the bolts through the holes occasionally and lock up. It was a gorgeous red with black vinyl roof and mint interior. Traded it a year later.

Dayum!
That car collage is impressive alright.
You're a car guy's car guy.
Jay Leno ain't got much on you.
Good job!

Thanks ….actually my first car out of college in 1971 was a used 70 mach 1 and I was 21. Have owned a lot of performance mustangs over the years. Growing up in Detroit made me a car cazy all my life. Especially for V8’s. and manuals. Back in a Mach 1 manual

Car CRAZY.
That hits the nail on the head.
There used to be some old guy, our age back then, that had a show called Car Crazy, was it the Meguiar's guy?
I've lost too many brain cells to remember for sure!
My mom married a Corvette guy when I was 14, so I learned how to drive in a 66 Corvette, 427/435 4 speed, convertible with side pipes and the whole 9 yards.
And there were many more by the time I was out of highschool.
Let's just say all those Corvettes helped me date WAY out of my league back then.......
