Finally quit kicking tires and bought something before the end of the year.

2010 Mustang GT Premium  
Kona Blue  
5 speed manual (thank you Laurie!!)  
Rapid Spec 401a - trim pieces, different seat cover, aluminum knob  
19" wheels  
Comfort Package  
3.73 gear package w/dual piston calipers, performance pads

17" wheels w/snow tires came yesterday.

Pictures suck inside the garage & don’t know how to use the new camera other than auto setting.

Never owned a stick, only moved them around a dealer lot years ago. Wonderful time of the year to learn. Got a pretty decent feel for where the clutch grabs on the drive home last night. Might as well jump into the deep end of the pool!

If I just continue on with these cars, will it still be considered a midlife crisis? 🙂

New purchases we’ve had 5 Pontiacs, 1 Chevy, and a GMC. Camaro was the only thing that interested me from GM, and it just wasn’t a good enough match. Killing Pontiac definitely affected my purchase. Almost did the Infiniti.

Just hope I’m easy on the clutch while learning.

Nice! The local dealer here has a Grabber Blue 2010 GT theyve had it since the 2010s have been out and everyday when I drive past it on my way to/from work I think about stopping in to check it out. Im just worried theyd throw me a killer offer and then Id be leaving with a new car… I just wish Ford would put 6 speeds in these damn things already.

Nice buy…

The best way to learn is to buy a car with a stick and learn. I bought my car with a manual and hadn’t ever driven one before. Luckily I didn’t burn the clutch out right away.

Looks awesome. I’ve always been a big Mustang person, just haven’t owned one yet, unfortunately. Love that car.
