My 5 point ohhhhhhhhhh
Some of you have seen some pics of Marilyn, my non-daily driver, but I figured I'd post up some better pics of her. I drive her only when Tori (TSX) is garaged...
Bio:
2012 Ford Mustang GT, purchased new in 11/2011. She was ordered and built to my liking. No one drove it except off the truck and I was there to supervise and watch it
6.3 miles off the truck from factory. She now has 1750 miles on her, and I've enjoyed every single mile on her. She's by far my favorite "toy" car that I've owned (yes more so than my TT 3rd gen RX7, G35 coupe, or 370z). She NEVER sees rain, always cared for and detailed by me. No swirls, scratches, marring, etc... she's a virgin 
I switched from the Z to the 5.0 because I now have 2 sons, and bringing them with me is ideal 
OEM equipment:
Modifications: (listed in order of when they were installed)
And here are some pics of Marilyn. Combination of HDR's and non HDR's. ENJOY!!!
1st set, HDR's.
Here's some NON HDR shots.
And here's the MGW shifter installed. I couldn't decide between black or white knobs, so I got both

. But yes I can't decide either, but it takes but 1 minute to switch, so I'll keep doing that.

Hey, your on TMS right? I recognize that name Marilyn lol.
I was gonna say 3 new 5.0s in 3 weeks? But you had your car way before us. I like how you have your 9500ix like that, I do the exact same thing with the cord.

btw, no drone from the axle backs. They're stock oem Shelby mufflers, so definitely no drone. I might switch out some day to something louder, but for now I am very happy with it. btw, you should lower your car asap. No stang owner should have to drive a 4x4...
Here's a vid from last year when I installed it.
haha thanks man. Yeah, the TSX was my Civic replacement... so thankfully I don't get to drive Marilyn daily, so I can enjoy her when it truly counts
thank you sir.
And your comment about Mustangzine... that's funny because when I was on 370z.com, when I had a Z, folks started selling/trading in their cars for the 5.0. One after another... followed by me too lol. Then the same thing was happening to that forum.
These new stangs are such great cars. Anyone who does their research and drives them knows they drive SO much better than before, their quality is much much much improved, and it's just SO much fun to drive.
Thanks Gala... I appreciate it.

It's an amazing car. Just passed 800 miles today in 2 weeks of owning the car. I might pass 1,000 by the end of the day or close to it with what I have planned.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I am in love with the color. That's truly the main reason why I got a 2012. Ford dropped kona blue for 2013... Not sure why. But I could have gotten a 13 but when saw that there was no kona, I quickly ran to my dealer and ordered a 12 before the order banks closed.

Should've caught that before. Another classic, and yes, I like rap from the mid-late 80's and early 90's, before it degenerated into gangsta crap. I admit being 
Anyhoo.....

yeah HDR rocks! You just need 2 or more shots at different exposure levels, then you just need a program to blend them all in. I use a Mac.
You should go test drive one. 20 minutes was all it took. Sold my 370z right then and there.
lol.... that's funny. Thank you sir.... I think

Beautiful car and great pics; they look like they came straight out of a Mustang brochure or something.
I actually considered a 5.0 Mustang when I was car shopping, but decided to go with another Sedan. As I said in another thread I really like what Ford did with the new Stangs. Great looking car in and out.
Congrats!!!
