Default Its MINE!!!

Hey guys/gals,

After almost a year of trying to sell my 5.0 mustang, I finally sold it and with lots of concurrent searching/negotiating for the right car I finally got the exact one I wanted.

I ended up with the last of the quicksilver cars, an 03 with 12,400 miles, with the bsm's still installed, 100% bone stock even to CAGS and the long antenna, and I am stoked to say the least!!!!

The previous owner surely did not get his moneys worth on this car...

Here is a pic from where I bought it...



Now to do something about that factory shift ****!

Better get that to Mid-Ohio...just to make sure everything works Mine is an 02 QS, so I like the color choice. I have had mine for 3.5 years and love it.

Nice score!! Sounds like someone kept the car and did not get to use it like it was meant to. I picked up my 02 with 12K back in November of last year. It already has over 28k on it. Lovin every minute of it.

Thanks everyone- apparently C.A.G.S HAS been defeated as it allows a shift to second when the light is on without much resistance but I was going to do that anyhow...

Just saw its first rain, got stuck in it, and the top does not leak (yet)

I am going to do some searching first but I have all sorts of little questions already...

I love the sound... not too loud not too quiet... this thing is a killer- I already got into throttle induced oversteer on an onramp (thankyou TSR/AH)

oh yeah David- thanks for the tip on penfed- what a rate!
