Hello everyone 
User name Wataru, real name Brett. Im a relative new Mustang owner.
I went out in May 2009 looking to trade my 2002 Kia Sportage IL4 (which I owned for 3 years and only put 20k on) for either a 2000-2003 Ranger, S10 or F-150. After getting screwed on bait 'n switch F-150s on CraigsList, I happened upon a pewter 2001 GT V8 4.6L with 117k when I was looking at an S10 and Ranger on the lot. I drove it and said WTF Ive always wanted one and I can afford one so Im getting this. I nagged the salesman to $7000 total, $200 a month (bit high now that I reflect) but I wanted it to be inspected at my mechanic, which was set for 1p the following Monday.
While waiting til 1p, I went on Cars.com and found a 2000 Coupe V6 3.8L Laser Red with 67k on it for $6995 at the local dealer (not a buy here pay here like the pewer 'Stang). I went down at 10a and drove away with it at 11:15. It was 100% stock.
Now 5 months later, Ive gone about 3025 miles (I dont drive alot) and got a Mach 1 stripe and hood pins. On the bucket list is a K&N CAI, black out back panel, Cobra headlights, smoked tail lights, chin spoiler and Montego black 15'' racing rims (I had 16'' ones of my PT Cruiser before I sold it, which I got used for $300). ...and I need floormats. It didnt have floormats.
I am the second owner of this Mustang. It was born on 7/2000 and shipped to Osteen, FL (yes I said born on 7/2000...so its a 2000 1/2) were it was owned by 1 gentleman who moved to Longwood, FL then back to Osteen. He traded it in in Maitland, then I bought it and live in Mustang. Osteen to Maitland is 20 miles. Maitland to me is 7. So it's never left it's childhood neighborhood.
Off-top stuff...
I love Russian Imperial History, the TV show Bones, work at Sears, build custom lightsabers (shutup) and read comic books. Im 29 (30 in December) own my own home, 2 cars, dont smoke and drink Jack Daniels
EDIT:
...hey how do I get one of those snazzy sig images?
