It was time to sell off my beloved Honda Accord. I put a boat load of miles on it and it never failed me. One of my employees has been hot for that car for a couple years and it went to him for a great price.

I had been coveting a 6th gen mustang ever since they changed up the body style in 2015.

I finally talked the wife into it and made a deal on what you see below. It came from a dealer in Wisconsin. This car was a Ford executive driven vehicle and turned back in after a year. The dealer bought it at the Ford lease auction and didn't even have it in hand before it was sold to me.

So, I had to wait a little but that was fine. Rather than fly and drive 13hrs (so really a 20+ hr day) I had it shipped for about the same cost.

2017 Mustang GT premium, 6 spd manual, 9300 miles, magnetic grey, nav, 20" Foundry wheels.

I love it.

That's what everyone's been saying but I don't really have any intention of changing much except possibly adding an MGW shifter.

That's what I say now at least.

I'd like to think I may have also been a bad influence in this decision

A ride in yours was the last nail in the coffin.

It's that a performance pack car or did you upgrade those brakes yourself?

Looks killer!

Sweet ride Kevin!

I had a 1995 (Gen 4 I think) back in the day. Lot's of fun, but ultimately didn't fit my lifestyle very well.

Thanks. Yes, it's a PP car, but I swapped to the drilled/slotted rotors. It all started with a pad swap to get rid of a ridiculous amount of brake dust and for a few bucks more.....

I also dropped it with BMR springs. I highly recommend their rear suspension cradle lockout also, it takes a lot of slop out of the rear end and handling is much improved. Wheel hop also. I put in Steeda shock mounts at the same time, which are also worthwhile.
