My New Car!!!

[shesulsa]

Oh, Pam! It rocks!

 

[Swordlady]

SWEET ride, Pam! The car suits you.

Also I found do not do it with someone else in the car who has a vested interest and more experience, as they begin to flinch and twitch and groan and it upsets your timing.

Just go out and drive it and try to become one with the machine and the road.

Enjoy

Thanks Rich. You are absolutely right because even though my husband was trying to be very patient and encouraging, every flinch, twitch, and groan made me more nervous and really did upset my timing.

I took it out alone for the first time yesterday to drive to Kung Fu. I didn't have any problems and felt comfortable. I didn't kill it once! And I'm even downshifting now...

This is the most fun I've ever had driving...I am in love!!!


And thanks for all the nice comments everyone!

I sent in my personal license plate request...so let's hope I get BK N BLK, BK IN BLK, or BLK JADE. I'll know in about 6 weeks.

Sorry, I missed that discussion.

Well, I am happy to report that after a few days of driving the stick I feel like I've been doing it for years. YAY! That car is sooooo much fun to drive. I am having a blast! Just wanted to let you all know I can actually drive it now. lol

Oh sure! Only 2 days after I'm gone, you're posting pics. Jeesh!

j/k. Very nice, Pam!

Oh and don't listen to Rich. Just wind that baby up to about 5 grand and dump the clutch. You'll be fine.

Okay, seriously though. Couple o' notes. It may have changed since I lived there, but Illinois doesn't play that no front plate stuff. You'll want to be putting that on there so you don't get pulled over.

Mustangs are pretty good on dry pavement, fair in rain, but a nightmare in snow. Please be careful.

Other than that, Good luck with the car! It's a beauty!!!

Late to the fray ... But, better late than never ... Or so I assume! :idunno:

Congratulations on a very cool ride. Someday, when I get re-prioritized, I think I want one of those, as well. %-}

Those are good pics of a great looking car.

I currently have a 99 Torch Red Fixed Roof Coupe Corvette (One of about 6,500 made over two years). I think a Black on Black Stang would sit nicely next to it in the garage. Actually, getting close to retirement and looking forward to that big daily decision ... Which one do I drive today??? :ultracool


I know you will have years of great driving and some really cool race stories before it's all over.

Yeah, you're right about the Illinois front plate...I'm not gonna put it on...heh...I've noticed some people don't. It's in my trunk, if I get pulled over I'll just say the frame broke and I need to get a new one. (Someone else's suggestion...the dealer in fact, lol) If it becomes a problem and I am constantly pulled over because of it then I'll have to reconsider, but for now I'll risk it, I hate to ruin the look.

I'll be safe. Fortunately I don't have much cause to go out if it snows and from what I hear it hasn't been snowing around here like it used to so hopefully those housebound days will be far and few between.

Did your baby make it to the new location safe and sound? And how 'bout some pics?

Well you do have a sweet ride don't you? :supcool: Yes, yes a black on black Stang would look mighty purty next to it...but oh what decisions will haunt you every day, what to drive, what to drive....

Congrats on your approaching retirement. :asian:

Race stories...I can't wait to have some. I did accidentally squeel the tires coming off a light...heh...still getting used to it...

Wouldn't mind seeing pics of your ride too.

Ha!!!

Pam, no offense but I think the "Po Pos" wouldn't mind stopping a hot blond in a muscle car. You might as well have a sign that you are carrying doughnuts and coffee too.

:lfao:

We'll see....

 

[MA-Caver]

Hey Pam... I think I found the best exhaust to go with your new car...

 

[HKphooey]

That is tooooo funny!!!!

 

[Jade Tigress]

Hey Pam... I think I found the best exhaust to go with your new car...

LMAO! Uh....no. :shrug:

Update..got my "RAWR" plate and windows are being tinted tomorrow. I'll post a new pic next week.

That's a beautiful car! I love the new Mustang design. I had this until a month and a half ago:

That's a snapfish link. I hope it works. If not, let me know and I'll try something else.

I used to eat Mustangs for a light snack.

There's nothing like driving something that's both beautiful, and just plain mean. I'll get another one as soon as I can afford it again.
