New member here from Alabama. Just bought a 2017 Mustang GT in Grabber blue with the black accent package last month. Couldn't be happier with it.

Hiya

Hello all Was looking for a good S550 forum, and you guys seem fairly drama free, active, and technical. Some useless information about me:

Sporty-ish car history:
2006 base Z
2010 Nismo Z
2014 base Mustang GT track pack

Current: 2017 Grabber Blue (omg love the color) GT track pack (or is it PP now?) w/cloth Recaros. Just washed/clayed/waxed her 2 weeks ago--did I mention I love the color? *sorry*

Retired military (jet engine mechanic, mostly F-15's, and another kinda weird job whilst in--long story) spent some time in Europe as well as a variety of sandboxes and a couple of spots in the US. Love a variety of cars and manufacturers (but I'm from around Bowling Green KY, so my hatred of Corvette and all things Chevy may shine through--but I will begrudgingly admit that Corvettes are a damn good bang for the $). My dream car would be a tie between a Nismo GTR and a Ferrari 599xx. Anyway...
I plan on modding from the suspension up, with hp being the last of the additions. I look forward to learning some things from you all and contributing when I can.

Great looking Mustang! Mine is identical but has the black accent package.

Nice! I haven't seen any GB around my way, apparently there's a registry http://www.grabberbluemustangregistry.com/

Welcome and thank you for your service!

Much like you i have a history with Nissan Z cars (Z31 and Z32). I miss both those cars...

Looking forward to seeing more of your ride. Enjoy the forum.

I'm a new guy from Illinois, Just picked up my 17 Oxford white GT with black accent package on Monday! I should be placing my first Steeda order this weekend or next. I have a feeling this will be a fun car! Car is getting tinted and I'm having the roof blacked out as I type!

Congrats! do you plan on driving it through the winter?

Hey Guys,
I wanted to officially introduce myself. I have been on the forums for almost a year now and purchased a 2016 GT Premium DIB the end of September. Sadly I have it in storage now as i do not want to put it through the Wisconsin Winters. We had a good stretch of nice weather so I was able to drive the vehicle up until a week ago... I am going to be putting together a project journal for all of the mods I have in mind for spring! I purchased the car in Missouri as I had a hard time finding the DIB with the dark saddle leather interior I was looking for. I am finding out now why this car is getting rave reviews...it is so much fun to drive. If I leave it at home for the day my wife takes it out and drives it everywhere. :ford:

Thanks!

0I don't want to drive the GT through the winter so I think Im just going to get a solid beater to trash. Plus its easier to mod when you dont need to worry about having the car back together.

As you know how fun these cars are it will be very hard for me to leave it in storage over the winter.

I hear you... I am in the same boat... just put mine away for the winter.. got a little bit of snow here and didn't want to take a chances on a blizzard and salt..

Where in Wisconsin are you? I am about 45 min south of the border. We hardly ever get snow dumped on us! Inclement weather usually follows the Mississippi river north and continues east along the border.

I am in Appleton Wisconsin. About 3 hours north of Chicago. We don't have terrible winters as a rule. But plenty of below zero, freezing rain and then the occassional 4-8 inches of snow blizzards. I figure December through March and then I am safe to get it out the 1st of April.
