Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[Ford Motor Company]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I’ve had two mustangs before. A Torch Red 2003 Mach 1 5 speed that was totaled in 2017 when I got t boned by a teenage girl. Loved that car and would probably still have it. I literally beat on that thing and it just ran great. Only had to do standard maintenance with fluid changes for the 14 years I had it.

So then I got a 2018 GTPP2 in 2018. I loved everything about that car except the 2500 rpm engine rattle. The dealer actually found cylinder bore scoring. Makes sense since it was the first year ford went full production with the spray on bore liners. The motor was replaced and o requested a buyback.

Since then I had a 2019 RAM 1500 with the 5.7L that I traded in for a 2021 TRX that I got for msrp. Unfortunately my TRX was stolen this last March. Insurance paid me out more than what I paid for it but damn that truck was perfect.

I currently drive a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the V6. I do love the Jeep but I find my self missing the growl of a V8 and shifting my own gears. I’ve literally only owned V8 vehicles since.

So here I am, contemplating ordering a 2025 DH or a GTPP. Seeing as this may the last chance to get a V8 in a relatively affordable sports car. I can’t believe how expensive cars have gotten but thank you inflation. I only paid $43k after TTL for my GTPP2 6 years ago. Now I’m looking at $57k for a GTPP or 72k for a DH, both OTD prices.

In reality I wanted atlas blue but of course Ford had to discontinue that color. My second choice is vapor blue. I’ve been seeing it a lot on Broncos, Mavericks, and Mach E’s and love how the color always looks different depending on lighting. I’ve literally only seen 3 S650’s. Black, white, and red.

Anyway, glad to be back, I’ve always had a thing for mustangs ever since I was in high school 25 years ago. Back in my day the dream car was a notch back 5.0, hell that’s still my dream car if I could find one in that hunter green.

Hello! Came over from 6G. Most recent Mustangs, 2008 Shelby GT500 and 2020 BULLITT. I've had 7 Mustangs, all great cars, really enjoyed all of them.
I'm 78 and retired military. Car cruises in Western PA keeps me busy.
The attached picture of a members car caught my eye, so I bought a twin!!!

First time Mustang owner. Struggled to go with base GT or a loaded Ecoboost and went with the Ecoboost since it's the only car I have and fuel consumption and price played a role. I made the right choice for me though as this is plenty fast. My previous car was a Fusion for the last 9 years so I'm having a lot of fun with it and I appreciate this forum as I've already learned a lot from you folks.

Hi, new guy / new owner. I recently purchased a new ‘24 Race Red Ecoboost Mustang with the High Performance Package. It’s a base trim 100A car which has everything I want. So far I’m very happy with the purchase, fun to drive and it makes for a great daily driver.

I currently own four other Mustangs, 2013 Boss 302, 1993 Cobra R, 1991 5.0 LX and a 1967 coupe. I’ve been hooked on these cars since I was a kid.
