As most car
enthusiasts know, its hard to beat the bang-for-the-buck performance value of
the Ford Mustang. Since 1992, I have
owned a Mustang GT as a daily driver.
From 1992 to 1998 I drove a 1987 5-speed Mustang GT. Then from 1998 to 2005, I drove a 1995
Mustang GT. On December 30, I ordered a
2005 Mustang GT in this configuration:

As of December 2008, I
have owned the 2005 Mustang GT for 37K miles, and it has been the best car I
have ever owned. It has never been back
to the dealer for a single problem. Not
even a minor issue. I take care of the
car, but I also drive it hard at times, including two track days at HPDE
events:

On November 18,
2007 I brought the Mustang to Lime Rock Park for an HPDE event. Lime Rock is a race track in northwestern
CT. Details are on the News page.
The Mustang
Source and its forums
are the best place on the Internet for Mustang information. I spend too much time there, but its the
only way I kept my sanity while waiting for the 05 Stang to be delivered
oh well, I still had the 95 to tide me over
until then.
