I still think Mustangs are pretty sweet! I like the blue and yellow paint on this one too!

$400,000 worth?? Pretty, yes! But that is a lot of $$ unless it was some kind of a charity fund raiser.

I have always liked the new Mustangs and also the original 64 to 71 Mustangs......but I was on the Chevy side of the isle back in the day and to this day I struggle to let my distaste for Ford's go........its like in the genes man.

That cobalt blue color is sweet.
Yeah, Ford got the styling right with the new car, but I saw a '66 2+2 the other day and it looked so much more nimble, if that's the right word, than the new one.

I've never been much for theme cars but this was for charity.

But, this year I instructed in a 2011 Roush Stage 2 with the Roush big brake kit $ upgraded suspension.

It handled very well and had very, very good brakes.

Then I rode in a standard Mustang, kinda sucked.

Mustangs are OK, my biggest problem with them is, in our little town of 2500 there are probably 30, 2005 and up Mustangs. There are only 4 Corvettes and only 2 that you ever see, mine and a 77.

That's a sharp car. Paint is sweet. I like the styling a lot more than the previous generation.

I actually test drove one of these last night.

You can almost see the Blue Angels logo in the headrest.

The spoiler was terrible.

It was an 08 with 6500 miles. The interior was 95% plastic and the tires had flat spots which made it ride much like a shopping cart.

What was the price, Jeff? Cars aren't cheap nowadays...you think they would have a better interior?

Real pretty Blue Angels car, but I don't think even with flight pay, your typical LT or Lieutenant Commander will be able to afford one at that price! Though maybe another one might be cheaper if not at auction for charity and if they make more...

$24988

Everything was plastic except for the seats. The shifter (it was an auto) felt like it might break off at anytime.
