Default Finally!!!!

Well I picked up my new to me 05 today. All of you guys were right. It was worth the wait. I don't think I stopped grinning all the way home. I have walked into the garage a half a dozen times in the last two hrs and just stared at her. I will get some pics up within the next few days. I appreciate all of the info I have picked up on this forum.

I did the same thing when I replaced my 1988 with the 2005!

Enjoy it!

I should add that this young guy in a Mustang weaved in and out of traffic in an attempt to catch up to me. Once he did I decided to air it out a bit. He backed off when I did and my 12 year old said "he didnt want none did he Dad?" I am still laughing.
