Congrats on the new ride! I'll have a mustang some day. I just wonder how it's going to go in the snow. I'm going this saturday to look at new F150's. I'm not sure I'll get one yet but even with just getting my wifes 2012 Focus I think with my Fusion,(an 06 with a little less than 38k miles), as a trade I think we might be able to swing it. With all the rebates and incentives, + we have the x-plan were I work, I think it might be do able.

Those new F-150's are NICE.  I didn't like the rear styling at first but now I think they are by far the best looking 1/2 ton truck on the road.  I hear they run pretty nice with the ecoboost motor too.

my dad wants to get 1.. he worked on 1 at work (ford dealership body shop) that had gotten hit on a test drive and fell in love when he test drove it.. i personally don't like them too much, because i don't like the new-age styling, but i heard they ride like a cadillac compared to any other truck

I drove one exactly like that during a recent stay in South Dakota. It was a fun car to tool around in for a week.

Hope it ends up treating her right!

All I can think of is how that car will degrade before your eyes. It's so hard to imagine because it's sitting there all brand new. But it must break your heart knowing that it has to be sacrificed. LOL

If I keep up on the washings it might stay in good shape for awhile :hick:.

I'd like one of those as a toy. In orange. I'm not quite at the stage where I could swing one though :rollin:.

the trip computer says it's getting about 21 mpg. My girlfriend has a much lighter foot than I do so I'm hoping it will see about 20+ mpg in a mix of city and highway driving. Can you imagine 20+ mpg in mixed driving with 305HP?

That's pretty go disappointing. Hopefully it's just in the computer and after some driving it will get better. Hell, I think the GT gets better than that. I was considering trading the Mustang for a new GT but I'm all set with owing anybody anything and making payments.

I average 25-26 generally with my dinosaur and I'm not gentile with it. Personal best of 31.3 on a long highway trip.

Meh, anyway, nice car.

I does take awhile for the trip computer to adjust. Based on the math from fill ups it's getting about 25-26 mpg in a combination of heavy city (downtown Chicago) traffic and some highway driving. The computer that Ford puts in these cars takes awhile to average out mpg. When I bought my Focus it was saying I was getting 18 mpg in city driving for about 2 months. In reality, based on math from miles traveled and gas put in the tank, I was getting about 27 mpg in strictly city driving in heavy traffic.
