the new ride. 2010 mustang =]
Well after selling my car I had to decide on the most difficult question. Muscle or Tuner. After test driving a lot of cars I went out and bought a 2010 mustang v6. stick shift ;] I know I know no handling at allllll. Still a fun car =] So wanted to post up a couple pictures and hear some opinions about it. Let me know what you guys think =]

My 8 was giving problems. Had to spend money week by week. it was a 2004 auto.. plus i got 8 tickets in 1 year with it lmaooo loved the car to much. still miss it. Mustang seemed like a good choice. Descent price. enough power.

I won't knock the smarts of Mustang drivers again. That was a very wise move. And yeah, I probably would have killed myself with a V8 at that age.

Cell phone or not, at least shoot in the daylight!

A serious ticket or just a "fix it ticket"? Either way, that's going a bit far.

Missing a couple cylinders....

Why not the Camaro V6? IIRC, it has more hp, better MPG, and similar price

well you are blaming the 8. lol

and you shoulda of just gotten the V8.

and getting another ticket or killing yourself isnt determined by what engine or car you have. its up to you as a driver, knowing the limit of your skills, and not being reckless.

besides that, enjoy and be safe out there.

Whats the point of a V6 mustang? No straight line acceleration, poor handling, **** poor interior. At least it's the newer one..looks better than the previous gens.

it's not a proper muscle car without a big v8 engine under the hood. Mustangs are ok but they are rather mundane.
