Went to pick up a good friend to catch up at a local pub, and he told me that his girlfriend's 12 year old son said "Chad, some guy just pulled up in a really cool car!" Made my evening. :D

Look into fat matte gun metal stripes with yellow on the outside. betcha that'd look incredible
I do believe this would be an awesome combo. Just not 100% sure it'd go with my blacked out black/yellow accents how I'd like by introducing another color.

I have to say before buying my mustang I never thought I would get compliments. I liked the car a lot but I figured people would think "it's just another mustang" but damn was I wrong. Maybe it's the grabber blue but I get compliments every single day. And when I drive through downtown they come left and right.

I didn't buy it for attention but it certainly doesn't hurt.

The first day I bought my car, my fiance and I went to eat afterwards (buying cars take sooooo long). I parked my car in a nice spot up front. I asked to be sat next to a window so I can view my new purchase. While eating, I noticed an older (than me) couple walking towards the restaurant. The male half looked up and noticed my car. He stopped in the middle of the street, turned around, then walked up to my car. This gentleman spend a better part of 5 minutes checking out my car. I mean from every angle and elevation. He would kneel, stand up, walk around it multiple times, and even peeked at the interior. He never once touched the car, or did anything shady. After looking at my car, the man stood back for a moment with what appeared to be a smile on his face, and began nodding his head in acceptance. It made me smile a bit. I have been getting compliments on my car ever since.

This morning I got my first neck-breaker! (not to be confused with your average head turner) At least that I've noticed.... Was driving down the highway and this 2-door work-pickup truck is passing on my left (not fast or anything I was just in the right lane getting ready to exit) and I notice the guy in the passenger seat looking back at me with that sort of blank "in awe" stare from the side window as they are passing. Then they get far enough ahead of me that he is turning his head all the way around to look out the back window of the truck. I think he might have been an owl....

I was so excited I had to call my GF who promptly told me " I hung up on my dad for this? bye." *click*. Was just reading through this thread yesterday and figured y'all would appreciate it more. :)
:lol:LOL... that is too funny... i get the same reaction when I say something to my wife about a compliment i received.... it's fun to see reactions and makes the day a bit brighter...

Haha, as I walk out to my car from stores, I always catch people stopping at it or taking second looks. Almost every single time.

I will say the car itself being black doesn't catch many compliments, but the Vossen wheels? Those catch attention like CRAZY. Even at car shows I have a group of people stopping to look over my wheels every time. This last car show I was parked between a Boss 302 and a Shelby and the entire show I had a group at my car looking over the wheels.

I tell my wife about the compliments too. She just smiles. I think its because she gets more of them then I do, with that long strawberry blonde hair in a ruby red vert. Lol.

I recently moved to KY and in KY they don't have true inspections, but when you bring a car from another state a Sheriff has to inspect it. As I was walking outside with him he just stops and stares at me and says "This looks like it's going to get you in trouble...." :lol::lol:

He was cool about it though he went on to tell me about his Chevelle his wife is trying to force him to get rid of.

2016 Mustang EB Premium Pony Pack "4HORSEMEN"
[MENTION=24573]Lorne34[/MENTION] glad to hear I'm not the only one whose significant other doesn't car about the car shenanigans :)


Side note almost forgot. I had my the first person that had me roll down my window and shout to me from another car last Friday, then it happened again on Saturday :) The first person asked me how I kept it so quite to which I explained it was the baby mustang, 4cyl etc, he said he didn't know you could get it with a 4cyl haha. Its amazing with all the marketing ford did, how average people don't seem to be aware of the EB.

Also shortly before I got my car I was debating between the S197 and S550. The pivotal moment of me deciding on the S550 was when I was out to dinner one night and there was one parked in the parking lot. I just thought hey a cool new mustang. I was walking inside and heard this couple behind me go "hey is that a mustang?!" and they walked over to it and were checking it out talking about how they "hadn't seen this kind", or something like that. As much as I was torn when the design was first released, Ford really did do a great job designing a beautiful car....Then 2018 happened ;)

I was torn between a classic mustang (check out the streetside classics website) and the 2005-2014 remake.. then the S550 came out. It took me a bit to adjust and get used to it... then I watch the documentary "a faster horse" and was completely sold on the new design. For the most part people really love the look.. I hear so often from both guys and gals who don't care for Mustangs...."I don't really care that much for Mustangs, but THIS is really nice" I was standing behind a lady at a local hardware store who had a "Shelby Snake" t-shirt on and asked her if she owned a mustang. She said, "no, but my name is shelly and so my sister bought be this tshirt because the name was close"... she then went on to say that her ex owned a 67 mustang and that she really loved the old style, but did not care fo the "new remake".. She then proceeded to ask me if I owned a Mustang.....I smiled and said I have a 2016 and not to worry as I was not offended by her comment that she did not like the new style...To each his own, but I think for the majority of the general public Ford knocked it out of the park with the redesign.....

I'm like shit! I say they are just covers, he says where I can get those I have 2015, I tell him I got them from American muscle.. he compliments me on the car and we continue on our way.
