I put almost 2300 miles on the CS before I sold it. In the middle of that I also bought an 09 glass roof GT to use as a daily driver but I sold that too. The 13 is an awesome car. I'll be keeping it for a while I hope. What can I say, I love Mustangs.

6.0 M6 that belongs to my wife. Original owner, 45k miles. Never even been rained on. It's been a great car to own. I sold the 07 GT/CS though. Took the money and bought a 13 GT track pack with 35k miles. Never had one this new so I figured I'd try something different.

I've been a member here for a couple decades and I have owned mustangs for about 30 years. The S-197 is my favorite design so the last 13 cars I've had were 05-08's. Oddly I still haven't had an 09 but I do really like a glass roof coupe. Anyway, recently I flew up to the great lakes to see a...

I had been a member of this forum for over a year before I took that picture. I had owned two new cobra's and that 03 lighting was my 2nd new lighting. I've owned a couple more in the years since then. I also had a 02 Harley Davidson F-150 with 16psi of boost at that time.

In May 2004 I dropped by Mike Bass Ford in Elyria OH for a warranty issue with my 2003 Lightning. They had the entrance to the dealership lined with their leftover new 2003's. I was so shocked at the number of leftovers they had that I took a picture of them. Starting with Lightnings, they had 2...

That’s what I figured. The only things I would have liked to be different about my Mach is I wish I had that stereo and I wish it was an automatic like my GT. I have been a lifelong Ford fan. Two cobras and about 15 other random Ford products. I’m disabled now and shifting is much more difficult...

A few years ago I had a 2004 black GT convertible that had the Mach 1000 stereo and I really enjoyed it. After using that car for several years of commuting I sold it and bought two more 04's. Now I have an Azure Blue Mach and a red GT vert, mach is a manual and the GT is an automatic. Both...

Yesterday I did the front brakes on my 01 vert. I was just planning to do the simple pads and rotor swap which shouldn't have been a time consuming process. On the drivers side the caliper pistons wouldn't go back in, had to break the bleeder screw loose and use a c-clamp. Passenger side was...

I have a new set of Michelins as pictured below on the old ladies Merc and I noticed that the last time it went to the dealership for a brake issue they put the tires on the wrong side of the car, reversing the direction of their proper rotation. What will the impact be if directional tires are...

Yea I know the crappy cell phone pic sucks, but it was all I had handy while going through security. I ran into Evangeline Lilly (Kate) in the Honolulu airport earlier this week while on my way back to NYC. Funny thing is it was like nobody there recognized here except me and one other person...

Yesterday we brought home our latest, Lauren Grace 8lbs10oz born Friday. We also have a 3 year old boy Nicholas. All is well. Yea I'm almost 40 and still having kids, but what the hell, you only live once right? Here she is. [/

Looks like I'm getting transferred again. This time I'm going to Staten Island. I'm planning to take my old 60 Impala pictured below with us when we move. Does anyone know of any car shows in the NYC area or classic car clubs up that way? Any info would be appreciated. Steve

I needed something else to drive to work so I found a nice 02 E39 530 steptronic about 7 hours away and picked it up really cheap. So far I'm very happy with it. I'm averaging 30mpg on the hwy which is really impressive for the size of the car and the power it has. Anyway, here it is at the...

This belongs to my friend Brock back home. He has been building it for about a year using stuff he gets off ebay. He had a friend of ours who has a paint shop in his back yard do the body and it came out really good. The kid has some talent with a gun and since it was a rust free car it...
