I've been meaning to do one of these since, ughh, July. I don't have time to get everything together and type up right now but I will just get the placement started.
I will start with a story of how I got into Mustangs.
I have always been a fan of Mustangs since the 03/04 Cobra, although the first one to really get me going was driving behind a 281 Extreme Saleen (2002). I went online to do some researching even though I was not even close to being able to afford one (early 20's). I stumbled on SVTP.com(not typing the site out because I'm not sure if it's allowed), lurked for a year and then signed up in 2003 in which became my home for many years. That's when the love for the 03/04 Cobras came. This was in the times of some of the earliest Youtube videos of them running the internet (which I did make a compilation that got a fair amount of hits). Anyways, the love never died even though I never could afford one. Aside from the 03/04 Cobra I never really had in interest in the 05-14 Mustangs.
I owned several Subarus from that time up until last year. At the time the S550 came out right around when I purchased my WRX however I was not in a position at the time to have a Mustang as a DD/single dad so I skipped it. Come along 2 years later, more promotions, older kids, and a daily, a Mustang was practical. So 2 days before my birthday I got a stick up my butt and started looking online while sitting at my desk at work. Before you know it I was looking at the 6th gen Mustang, Camaros on my lunch break. Test drove a '17 plat white PP premium, loved it. Got snuffed by a dealer never coming to help me at Chevrolet dealer so I went back to the Ford dealership after work to make a deal. They did not meet me where I wanted them to for the 17' I test drove so I said the only other car I was buying is a base white PP, which I truly prefered anyways as I wanted the lightest, less features since it's a cruiser car. They happened to have one sitting at their other dealership 10 minutes down the road. Went and picked it up. They had gotten delivery only a week before. It was the last builds for the 2016's (June build date). It had 14 miles on it when I drove it back to their dealership to sign off on everything.
That's it for now as I got to run, but here is the night I picked it up. I drove away smiling very hard. And how it sits today. I will fill the inbetweens of the "mods" when I get a chance.

I think we all have a special place in our hearts for 03/04 Cobras!
just wanted to know what springs you have because the drop and fitment with the Velgen Wheels is superb. I have Vogtland sport plus springs in my garage waiting to put them on with a new wheel/tire setup. I'm looking at a Velgen wheel combo in satin bronze...
