Introduce yourself!!

[yosv0610]

Kinda new around here so I was just wondering, is there an appropriate place to post a horror story about a dealership where I had work done... don’t want anybody to suffer the same fate I did.

Please, tell us here. I'm planning to get a 2020 GT350R. Yesterday I called a dealership to schedule a test drive, after 45 miles driving and been waiting for 45 min, I had to explain why I was needing a test drive (this is stupid, why do we need a test drive?). After 2 hours waiting, explaining, hearing stupid things like "seems like there is someone interested in that car", the manager came to me and he told he couldn't let me do a test drive because I could burn out the clutch and It would cost $7000 to him. Really? I think that Ford, Dodge, Chevy, and some of them need to care more about what kind of persons are selling, representing, and servicing their products. There is more than 90% of technicians on dealerships that care nothing about being careful with our cars. Ford should protect more your customers and put more attention to what kind of service your products are getting in the dealership. I have heard some horrors histories from services in dealerships (filters no replaced, wrong oil used, old oil reused, etc).

New here. I have lurked for a very long time. I'm a regular poster over on SVT Performance for about 12 years now. My first Mustang was a 2006 GT Premium, then I stepped up my game and had a 2004 Screaming Yellow Terminator. Now I'm into the S550. I have a black 2016 GT PP1 manual. Mods are limited: Eibach Sportlines, Roush CAI and catback exhaust. Other upgrades and appearance changes include: GT350 steering wheel (favorite change I've made to the car!), GT350R spoiler, matte black stripes with red pinstripes (GT350R style), rear decklid with red Coytote badge, and aftermarket grille that I am going to change once the new one arrives. I love this platform and always kick around the idea of getting into a GT350 or a 13-14 GT500, but for the price I should probably just supercharge mine. I'm glad to be here as a member instead of a lurker! SVTP has been great and I waste a lot of time over there, so why not waste more time and join this site as well! LOL

Hey, nice to meet everyone. This year I bought my first mustang, a 2020 Bullitt. Love the car, interested in learning more

 

[doubleabeepbeep]

Hey everyone, long time Mustang fanboy and life long Ford lover. Found this place after a few google searches on the new ride kept pointing me in this direction. I've owned 5 Mustangs 1966, 1993, 1984, 2010, and my latest the 2018.

Thought for sure my first mod was going to be a set of Ford Performance X springs, but nope, it's gonna be speakers!

Looking forward to jumping into the forums to see what everyone is up too with their rides and getting some inspiration.

Hello,

Hi there! I realized I've been posting for a little while, but didn't properly introduce myself. I don't have my first Mustang yet, but as I start my last year of law school I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I want to learn as much as I can and get ready. Really, though, what I want is not just any 'Stang, but a Galpin Rocket. I know a lot of people think it is overpriced, and some don't like its styling, but to me it is the most beautiful thing on four wheels, and I am saving everything I can to hopefully one day get one. I figure this one of the few places I can talk about being illogically obsessed with a car and at least get some nods of understanding. Thanks for letting me join! View attachment 481566

As the old saying goes...
" The heart Wants... what the heart Wants"...
So yeah. We can ALL relate to something we are really fascinated by, and want or hope to own, or would just love to own 1 day.

Its certainly a beautiful car, the 1 you like.

To say its overpriced is sorta a tricky statement, too me anyhow.
I hav things in my life's circle, often many of which are tools, that regardless of the ACTUAL cost $$$...

...Too me, some of those tools are worth double, or triple the price,
I hav paid for them,
Off the tool truck, or elsewhere.
. I believe cars are no different than any object we desire. To some of us, specific cars are worth as much or even MORE, than say MSRO Sticker prices...

Yes, we as a culture tend to put a lot of emphasis on the cost of things, or how great a deal we got on something. We hav all got caught up in that deal.

Really, we should try to measure to ACTUAL value brings into our lives, and how each item and its relevance, to our use, brings joy & other adjectives, into our lives.

So no car is ever really overpriced, if its worth the cost To the individual who bought it.

Is the orig McQueen '68 Mustang 390 4 speed car, worth over $3+ million dollars?

Apparently the answer is yes.

Were there likely several hundred or thousands, made w/similar factory options, color, eng pkg, ect.,
and could a guy do the other upgrades it had for the movie for under a few million dollars??? LOL...

I think so.

But you cant put a price on that intangible fact that the Dude who was known as the coolest guy in Hollywood @ the time, drove it in a movie, and loved the car enuff to try to buy it bk, a few yrs before he died,
an unfortunate death from cancer.

So, you want what u want.
I want what i want, and when we can afford it, we scrape together what we can to own something that ONLY MONEY "CAN" BUY....

As everyone loves to point out
all the things money cannot buy.

Few ever speak of what things $$ can buy,
in our conversations about life..
& how fleeting thatvlife can be..
& m how fragile, short, and difficult it can be,
for some folks who hav lived before us, & will also live, long after we are dust in the earth..

So live your life, to love what your heart tells you too love..., and if its that Galpin,
the ln bye God, own that bad boy 1 day!!.

Welcome to the all knowing sphere of Mustang 6g knowledge. Lotta smart peeps here
(im not 1 of um, but there are plenty here).

About a year ago I came here looking for some advice on a used 2015 Mustang GT. But after much deliberation decided the time wasn't right.

After saving for another year, I finally closed the deal on a new 2020 Mustang GT. Glad I get to finally be a part of the S550 club

 

[BigRed550]

My names Will. Live north of Cincinnati and recently got back into the scene. My first mustang was a 2001 Cobra which I loved. Currently have a 2017 Mustang GT Priemium. Procharger, air ride, roush axle back exhaust, for racing x pipe. Much more to come.

How much did the pro charger run you?

 

[S550Will]

How much did the pro charger run you?

I bought it on the car, but I have the original receipt. Was right about $5800

Tim from east Texas.........I'm 55 years old and purchased the second new car in my entire life in 2017 going with a grabber blue manual GT. Things changed a little and I my wife can't drive a manual so I had to let her go......

Pulled the trigger on a 2019 Ruby Red GT PP1 with the automatic this time because it's her car (hahahahaha). Supposed to pick it up this Friday and totally stoked!

[Mach 1]

Hi guys and gals, my name is Phil, 43 yrs old from Canada. Currently driving a '18 Subaru Forester XT & a Yamaha FJR 1300. The base Race Red '17 GT Stang shown in my avatar is actually my dads but I'll buy the 36 months end of lease at the end of July 2020. Only has 8500 kms on it right now, MT-82, completely stock beside a Borla catback exaust.

Oh, forgot to add that prior to the ‘17 my dad had a Sonic Blue 2003 SVT Cobra with a few upgrades. I also put more miles on it than he did. I really loved that one.

I may take the plunge and replace the ‘17 with a GT350 or the new Mach 1 in a year or two.

Hope to join the discussions soon!

Cheers,

Phil

Hi All. I’m Rick and just purchased a 2018 Roush RS2. My first car back in 86 was a 67 Mustang w 289. I also had an 89 GT 5.0 in the early 90’s. After that I started down the Japanese path with a 98 Eclipse Turbo, 04 Acura TL then 3 Infiniti G37’s in a row. With the Japanese losing their way with either having to drop 100k or missing the mark with driving dynamics in the new Q60, I’m back to the Stang and couldn’t be happier! I look forward to discussions with you guys!

 

[2019WhitePP2]
