Bought a 2024 GT Premium as my first car (I’m 15 and just getting started in the car world)

Hey Rambo - nice post of your father's/brother's/uncle's car. Are you phishing or just trolling?

I'm not trolling. Technically it's my dad's car since it's under his name until I turn 18 but he got it for me

Damn, Rambo! Not only did you get a new Mustang, but you started a **** storm too!

Can you come to my BDay Party Saturday? We could use a little excitement!

God forbid someone under the age of 42 owns a mustang.

Some of you need to touch grass

Woops.. I'm under 42. Now I have to give proof that I don't have any sugar mommy, didn't rob a bank or stole the car.

give us a really really hot take on something.

A physics teacher told me two things in High School:

1.) In a crash, there are three collisions. The first is your car hitting another vehicle, or similar. The second is you hitting the inside of your car; every inch traveled is hundreds of pounds of impact, hence why seat belts are so important. The third collision is your internal organs hitting the inside of your skeleton. Think on it.

2.) For all Americans, the chance of experiencing a crash or collision, from fender benders to catastrophic impact, in your lifetime is 100%.

If OP is sincere, young man, your first crash will be in your prized Mustang. Lets hope it's a fender bender like the one in my Festiva when I was 16, and not like the one where I totalled my car at 36 with my 2 year old in the car due to a BMW's negligence; both son and I were wearing belts, and with some good reactions born out of defensive driving classes, we both walked away rattled but unharmed.

If you really want to learn to drive defensively and how not to be a dick, take the motorcycle safety class required for the M class license in lieu of state test, and ride a 500 cc motorcycle for a few months. You'll realize that 99% of drivers are clueless morons breaking laws all the time and trying to kill YOU, the unprotected defensive rider. Swear to god getting the motorcycle license made me a much better sports car driver. You MUST learn respect for the death that hovers all around you.

Also, always use protection and don't use drugs.

Anybody already told him to enjoy life and have a good time or are we only going to give him life lessons that he will forget anyways, like we forgot and found out ourselves?

We act like we are all competent enough to avoid all risks. This life doesn't come without risk and a young kid can't remember and follow all these advices. We all learned from our own experience with here and there from others, but we can't copy what others tell us.

Yeah this'll be wrapped around a tree. Gen X dad wants to fit in again.

Sugar momma, stole the car, and robbed a bank sure would be a lot more interesting.

But it appears you are under 42, transport your car between some Caribbean island, Europe, and maybe Canada, and that is quite intriguing enough all by itself.

Sorry to drift off topic, but I have to ask, since you have a Dark Horse with a Whipple, does the Whipple ruin or alter the otherwise excellent handling? Have you tried a road course HPDE day or anything since installing the Whipple?

No it does not affect the handling. Trust me the Whipple does not ruin anything it in fact it makes the car more exciting to drive. They don't affect the nose weight very much. Unfortunately there is only one track in my area and have not gone to a track day because there always full before I even get out of bed lol.
