Introduce yourself!!

[Minuteman3]

Greetings!! Will take delivery on Saturday (tomorrow) of a nice 2017 Ruby Red EB Premium convertible. Has 27k on it and seems to be in excellent condition. I've been looking for a "fun" car for a long time, and finally found one that was not a ex-rental with a ton of miles. According to CarFax, this is one owner, from here in WA state. Test drive was fine, except for an issue with the Sync 3 navigation ... the maps never moved, even after a power off/on cycle with the door open. Everything else seems to function OK. I've had a lot of recent Fords (and our primary vehicle right now is a 2020 EXPLORER ST), so I'm pretty savvy about Sync 3's quirks. I did get a written commitment by the non-Ford dealer (CarMax) to get it fixed before any signatures/money changed hands, just in case.

Not planning any mods, per se; I'm more interesting in returning it to "showroom" condition and keeping it that way. It'll probably see very limited use in the winter but I'm looking forward to the spring/summer!!

An interesting factoid that makes me smile - in 1966 when I got my first driver's license, my folks had a 1965 Ford Thunderbird ... the first car to ever have sequential turn signals. It was a red Landau with white trim. I"ll smile every time I make a turn in our red 'vert knowing that it also has sequential signals!!

Cheers!!

Ken

Hey all! I'm brand new to the Forum, but not to the world of Mustang. Over the past 20 years I've been lucky enough to own a 2001 V6, a 1995 GT Convertible, 2005 GT Convertible, 2008 GT/CS, and as of this past Friday, a 2021 GT/CS! My first foray into the S550 world.

Hey everyone, I’m rwolf from Kansas, 15 years old and new to the forums and have just gotten into the whole Mustang thing. I have prior experience with older ones (currently restoring a 65 coupe) but am new to the s550 generation. I wanted to buy a 2018+ after I got a job in tech but decided to get a 2017 GT because of pricing and some safety stuff, I don’t need all that power as a younger person. I need to take some better pics with my real camera but here’s my Ruby Red Metallic 2017 GT

Hi all, this is Steve and Pippa from UK (live in the middle off nowhere between Wantage and Newbury).

We just picked up this 2019 GT from the great guys at Kidlington Ford in Oxford (previously supplied our Focus RS 'RS Edition' back in 2018); we also have a Mach-E on order with them, due no time soon ever currently.

Hi all, just picked up a new GT Monday. Traded my 2010 in for a 2019.

It has an aftermarket intake I think roush. Anyway here's some pics.

Good evening to all. Ross here in Charleston, WV. I am a 69 yo Mustang addict, or so I am told. USAF vet 1971-72. Malmstrom afb, GT Falls Montana.
I have been a mustang fan since 1964 and it only took me til 2002 to buy my first one, a Torch Red v6 vert, which my daughter has now. We just had it totally repainted by best shop in our area, a new top and hydraulics. That was her birthday present. I am going to post pics from my aggravating cell phone shortly.
Next Stang was 2004 SVT Cobra vet, RED of course. Wonder I didn't end up under the jail, or dead. man what a ride.
Next an 06 Roush GT stage 1,RED of course. Seems to be a common thread huh?
Got married to an Atlanta gal in 2010 that wanted to get outta there as bad as I wanted to retire and come home to WV, and so we did.
Sold Roush to a AF vet in Toledo, OH in 2013, and in 2020 another RED 2016 V6 vert, which I sold soon after.
Took that money and held on til I found this 2017 GT 5.0 on a dealer lot I normally don't get near. They had just traded for it, hadn't listed it yet, and it being a Beast with an auto tranny I bought it.
Man what a cool ride.
Tuesday morning up here on the mountain it was covered with frost, couldn't tell what was body and what was glass. Soooo, I named him Frosty.
My wife even reworded Frosty Snowman song to Frosty the Mustang, and sang it to me.
This looks like a great place to learn and fellowship. Hope to become a useful member.
Thanks much, best regards, Ross and Frosty

Just bought a 2021 Mustang GT 6 speed manual yesterday.
I have owned many Mustangs and this new one is amazing.
Sounds great, drives amazing, and shifts like a dream.
I am planning on..
20% tint, ceramic coat, dual white stripes, and a GT350 trackpack spoiler.
It is totally different than my Porsche 2015 911 Turbo S, not nearly as fast, but sounds better and the manual tranny makes it so fun to drive. The Porsche is a PDK tranny, no clutch pedal.
Glad to be here and hope to gather some advice on the forums.
I have owned well over 20-30 Mustangs, foxbody, 03 Cobras, GT500, etc...
Good to be back.

New to the forums as I just picked up a 2015 GT. Not new to mustangs. I’ve had one since 2001. Had a 93 GT, Supercharged 98 cobra, and just sold a 1990 Fox coupe. Long time member of other forums like Corral and SVTP. I look forward to all the good info.

car is a premium car with the Factory leather Recaro upgrade. So far the only modifications I can find are the rims and hood struts.

....just recently purchased my 1st Mustang at the ripe old age of 51.

Had an RS6 Avant for daily and dog transporter and a 911 997 C4S for a bit of fun (plus short period in a Cayenne Turbo S, which hated); so for my 50th decided to get my first mustang also, went for the the 2019 GT (was always a guilty secret passion when I saw one when was in the porker, thinking to myself, now thats what should have bought)...never look back at the 911 now.... why didnt I get one of these years ago

[Deker72]

Hi, I'm from the UK and new to the forum and Mustangs, I finally got around to buying my first one just over a week ago after wanting one for many years but not being in the position to buy a RHD one until recently.

I also have a 2017 BMW320i x-drive and a 2005 Harley Dyna

Over the next 12-18 months I'll be hoping to do a few modifications and looking to learn from posts on here.

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and just picked up a 2015 GT PP1 Premium 6spd yesterday. I'm super excited and have been trying to find a decent price on one despite the crazy used car crisis going on right now. Fortunately one practically landed in my backyard at the local Honda dealer as a used trade-in. 1-owner, California car (now located in Minnesota), 97k miles, super clean. Selling a PP1 GT in MN during the winter is not an easy task, so luckily I was able to get the car close to what it would've cost pre-pandemic - yay!

About the only things I need to address on the car is: some internal corrosion on the hood's leading-edge (damn aluminum!), the Corsa exhaust on the car is way too loud for my tastes, and the side mirror switch appears to have failed.

Mods I plan to do right away are pretty minimal besides getting an OE exhaust for the car, and adding a stop-the hop kit. MN roads are pretty bad in general so lowering is probably not in the cards.

I'll be visiting other parts of the forum with questions and inquiries in the near future - seems like a great community so far!
