This is not my "daddy's" or my "boyfriend's" car.
My name is Valerie, I'm 24 years old and this black 2005 Mustang GT is my absolute pride and joy. He is aptly named 'Spooky'. I often shorten his name to 'Spook'. His name comes from my extreme fondness for Halloween, skulls, skeletons and horror movies.
As you can tell, I'm not the type of girl that is into pink or other girly type things. Spook is an extension of me, an extension of my personality, and I truly believe he was meant to be mine. I would say it is a match made in heaven, but as much money as I've put into this car so far, my bank account would say it is a match made in the blackest depths of hell.
The definition of "true happiness" for me is to wake up as early as my body will humanly allow on the weekends, hop into Spook, crank him up, roll the windows down, go pick up my favorite uncle, cruise the backroads at around 50mph while listening to some good classic rock. That, my friends, is the damn life.

These pictures were taken after Spook was lowered. Looks a hell of a lot better, I think.
Spook's red guts and his powerhouse...
(Special thanks to my friends and fellow 'Stangers, Ryan and Matt for these awesome pictures!)
Last but not least, something I thought was worth putting up here. Nothing too special since these rankings change by the hour(s), but it was pretty cool to see my own car ranked that high.
I was #1 out of the 85,000+ Fords on CarDomain, and #2 out of all rides on CarDomain which were 676,000+ cars at the time! The date was July 10th, 2009.
