11th Mustang. Waiting on my whipple
Sponsored
We appreciate you joining us on the forum! Congrats on your Mustang!Recently bought a 2024 Ecoboost in Atlas Blue with Carmine Red interior and all the bells and whistles. I've had other Mustangs in the past. I joined the North Texas Mustang Club in 1985 when I was restoring a 1966 289 coupe. My last Mustang was a 68 302 Sprint B package which I sold in 2014. I had gone over to the dark side and next restored a 72 Corvette (2019 NCRS Top Flight which I'm very proud of). I have a few other toys, couple old Jaguars, a Lotus, another C3 Corvette and a pickup truck for fetching parts. And as you might surmise from my username, a Toyota Supra (an obsession really). Cars are like potato chips, I can't stop at just one.
But I'm back in the Mustang fold with this S650 generation, the first time I've bought a "new" Mustang. It's always been vintage project cars. This Ecoboost is intended to be my new daily "commuter car". I'm a DIY'er and the thing that impressed me the most was opening the hood and thinking "This'll be a piece of cake to work on!" Like an old Ford truck with an inline six. The salesman did a good job tho, taking me to a back road, setting up the drag mode and saying to me "Now, punch it!" I must say, the Ecoboost is no slouch. I'm at the age tho that had there still been a Thunderbird, Cougar or Lincoln mkvii that's probably what I would have done, but sadly nobody makes personal luxury coupes anymore. I may make a few minor changes to this Mustang for my own aesthetics/comfort but generally looking forward to a few years of new-car reliability and warranty service.
That's a stunning Mustang! Welcome to the forum.New owner here - my 6th Stang. 2024 GT Premium Vert. I like it so far.

We're thrilled you're loving your new ride! Welcome to the forum.Bought my very Mustang in June and I'm in love. I have put in 2,000 miles already, it is very addicting to drive. Haven't used the line lock feature, I'm gonna record my first line lock wheel spinning action very soon though. The convertible drop top is a MUST if you live in socal. I'm adding borla axle backs this week, can't wait! This is my very first mustang and a V8 car that I ever own. And it's amazing.
It's hard not to floor it at every red light lol, it's addicting. Shades, sunscreen, and a hat recommended.
Here's a pic of her resting after ripping through the mountains in Big Bear, CA, beautiful weather
