1. what kind of mustang is it?

If its the regular one you got hosed.

[texas1928]

2. Well hosed is a matter of opinion.

it is a 2005.

[LiberalVoice]

3. How much was it?

it is a v6 isnt it?

[texas1928]

6. It is a V6, I did not want a GT.

And for the price, That is really none of your business.

[LiberalVoice]

31. lol ok then.

[illbill]

42. lol...

Who cares telling how much it was? All you would be doing is helping other DU'ers know what to ask for when they go to a dealership.

Albeit I love Mustangs, they are not a rare breed. :)

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

4. Very nice!

I like the new 'stangs...and I'm a Camaro guy. Look forward to seeing some daylight pics. Please give us some deets on the engine, etc.

[ashmanonar]

5. pshaw, it's not a 68 like i have in the driveway.

:D

[Bombero1956]

7. probably

6 cyl 210 HP automatic. Nice enough car but the GT with V8 and manual tranny does it for me.

[texas1928]

9. I can not drive a manual.

I am paralyzed.

[Bombero1956]

38. you can drive what you want

I was just saying what MY preference is. I currently own a 99 GT and my brother in law who sells Fords has been trying to talk me into getting the 05 GT. Good Luck with the new car and welcome to the Tribe of the Horse.

[texas1928]

39. I would love a manual

But it just can not be. Kind of is depressing but with this car my wife can drive it.

[texas1928]

8. Well I can not get a 68.

and I like the new ones. I wanted a car no one has driven before.

[ashmanonar]

35. lol.

i'm just kidding. mostly. :D

on edit: it's not all that hard to find a 68 mustang, we bought ours off ebay, of all places.

[SoCalDem]

40. My son has a '66

and a 2003..and a big truck,and they have a Jetta and another 2003 mustang (his and hers).. There are TWO of them..oh yes.. and they just took custody of our 70 Gran Torino.. He;s gonna restore it as a surprise to Dad ( It was my mother in law's car, and has 36K original miles on it.

As he was towing it up north last weekend, he said people were "thumb's uppin" him as they passed.. One guy even wrote a crude sign and put it in the window asking if it was for sale :)

Dad will be very surprised when it's all done:) He thinks that oour son is taking it up north to sell it :)

[auntAgonist]

[texas1928]

11. Thank you

I appreciate it. I can not wait to get the hand controls on it so I can really test it out.

[auntAgonist]

12. yes !

That will give you an awesome sense of freedom no doubt.!!
How long till it's outfitted with the hand controls?

[texas1928]

13. The dealership is having them put on for me. They are paying for it.

He said he hoped they could get them on tomorrow. I take it back in the morning to get the free tint put on and they will do their full detail on it. I got to take it home for the night.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

21. Tinted windows?

I always thought that would look good on that car.

[texas1928]

23. I can go up to a Limosine tint if I wanted it.

I just may do it.

[auntAgonist]

25. that's just awesome!

be careful out there!!!!



:hug:

[Nite Owl]

14. She's a beauty!

Love that color.

Best of luck to you! A new car is so exciting!

:)

[texas1928]

19. Slate gray.

I was going to go with white but I really like the gray.

[Nite Owl]

27. DU has a auto group

in case you didn't know.

Think they might like to see all the pics when you finish taking them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Hey tex! CONGRATULATIONS!

I love your new car! How stylish is this one! Hope they don't take too long to get the hand controls in...and here comes the G.D. weekend to get in your way...But at least the car is here!

:toast:

On edit: I see where they will hopefully do it tomorrow! Sweeeeet! Congrats again...

[texas1928]

18. Well I had already called the guy who will do it.

To get prices just did not know that the dealership would pay for it to be done. 800 bucks I do not have to spend. And a free 200 bucks of window tinting on top of the rebate. I think they were fair.

I love this new car just a little gas and it pops you in the butt. Push it down and WOW!!!!!!!!!

[JVS]

16. Cool!

Looks nice, have fun

[texas1928]

20. Oh it is a pretty car.

I think I will call her Betty.

[jpgray]

17. Sweet car!

My '96 Ford Taurus doesn't seem to belong in the same genus as that.

[texas1928]

22. Well they are in the Ford Family.

But the Mustang is the wild child of the family.

[frylock]

24. congratulations..

I saw a 2005 the other day with the Roush package. It looked very nice.

[texas1928]

26. The ground effects look alright but

They are not for me.

[Bombero1956]

41. looks like

a Stage 3 Roush. A Stage 1 will set you back about $40,000.

[wovenpaint]

28. Way to go!

What a great car! You must be soooooo excited!! Nice color too-is the interior black? Very cool.
Does it have that "new car smell". I know it's not supposed to be good for you-but, it sure makes ya happy!
Wishing you many happy road trips.....:hi:
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

(I have a Camaro and a Celica GT-convertibles! So I love those sports cars!)

[texas1928]

29. It is a Dark Dark nearly black gray.

Leather interior. with Chrome accents on the dash.

[wovenpaint]

30. Kewl

Very nice! My Camaro has that dark grey interior-no chrome tho-that must look awesome with it!

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Beautiful car! Drive it in good health! (nt)

[Left_Winger]

33. Love those Mustangs

Ever since Steve McQueen drove that '68 2+2 in "Bullit" I've been in love with these cars. I like that Ford went retro with its new designs. I have a 2000, one of the 35th anniversary series (which I'll keep because it's paid for; I don't like those monthly payments) but I wish I had waited until these came out.

[flvegan]

34. She's pretty. I've had 3 stangs myself (2 vert GTs and 1 LX hatch)

I loved mine, and I hope you love yours as well.

I can tell that you're excited about your new ride. Don't let others get you down about it.

BTW, this is the best looking Mustang they've put out in a very long time.

[texas1928]

36. Well the dealership detailed it and added all the extras today.

It is tinted now, and looks really sweet. I have to wait til Tuesday to get the hand controls. I can not wait. Taking it down to my parents tomorrow to show it off. So first road trip. I love it. That is one awesome car.

[Lady Effingbroke]

37. Have fun on your road trip!

Betty is one sweet-looking car! :hi:

[Tsiyu]

43. Have fun and be careful

"Casey Jones you better watch your speed."

I earned half of my Fast Driving Awards in Mustangs. I like the new model. You'll be stylin' :smoke:
