This was my Fiancee's first Mustang. I think the day she bought it was the second happiest day of my life. Before we dated she used to like the 80's style Camaros. Luckily, she saw the light.

This car had nearly 100K on it when we bought it. However, almost all of the miles were highway. The paint and interior were impeccable. She only owned the car for 10 months or so because the first winter she had it, it snowed like mad. She got stuck in our apartment parking lot more than twice and became fed up with car. She sold it to buy a Jeep and regretted it almost immediately.

After driving a Jeep for one summer and getting about 16-18 mpg (on the highway!) she yearned for a Mustang enough to sell the Jeep and buy a Foxbody.

This car was originally from California, which meant it had no rust and no rear-window defrost. The car was very, very nice on the exterior. The interior left more to the imagination, but we planned on fixing that.

I gave her my old Chrome Ponies and she bought some Kuhmo Exsta rubbers for the hoofs. We replaced the front headlights with clears, replaced the weatherstripping, added a radio and speakers, replaced the instrument bezel and lens, and I had planned on getting new carpet and upholstery in the Summer of 2007.

On April 31, 2007, my Fiancee (girlfriend at that time) walked out to the parking lot at school and almost had a heart attack--she couldn't find her 'Stang. After getting someone else to verify it was not in the parking lot, she called campus security and reported it stolen.

A month later we got the call every car owner who gets theirs stolen hopes to get; they found her car! Only problem was, the doors, hatch, radiator/fan, wheels, front clip, rear speakers, spare tire, and hatch carpet were all gone. We grabbed some spare tires, a tow dolly, and brought it home.

Well, after the above car was stolen (and before we got the call it was found) we bought this car. We were told by many that our car would not even be found and to start looking for a new car; so we did.

After looking at several different cars, we stumbled across this little diamond. I tried to barter with the salesman, but he must have saw the word "sucker" on my head, because he did not budge.

We've had our fair share of trouble with this car. The clutch quadrant failed one day (had to drive it home with out the clutch) and now the trans is making some wicked noise. And, just before the New Year of 2008 she was rear-ended by a driver with no license plate! The dealer took almost two weeks (after giving us a five-day quote) and put a standard bumper on instead of the "GT" bumper. Trouble...

Although, I have to say, this car is hot.
