One Excited Dad

The old man is gonna pick up his 05 mustang tomorrow! He called me tonight saying he doesnt know how he is gonna sleep tonight or go to work tomorrow. The problem is there is no room in the garage for it, and mom said the new stang cant stay outside one night!! So now we are trying to find a place for his boat or his 67 Fairlane!!! Troubles troubles, i guess he"ll just have to pay for a storage shed. And by the way anyone have problems with their new stang??

Store the boat! I drive thru your city a couple of times per year visiting relatives that live up around Mille Lacs lake and Brainerd.

Can't help with the boat, but I would be glad to store the mustang, as long as the keys are left with it. I am only 20 miles away.

Good luck with the new stang, I just bought an 05 premium V6 model in Torch red with Graphite leather interior, got the 500watt sound system. The car rides really nice Ford did a good job on this one. I only have 100 miles so far but knock wood she runs great.

well he got the stang today and was very pleased with it. he got about 40 miles on it and he just happed to look at the temp gauge and it was pegged on hot so he brought it back and checked the antifreeze and the resivoir was empty. so he had to leave it at the dealership and drive his 03 ranger home. hes really upset i feel so bad for him. he will find out tomorrow what went wrong hopefully the heat didnt warp the aluminum heads.

the old man is getting the stang back tomorrow. turns out the frost plug heater blew out. the tech told him he didnt do any damage to the engine so they ordered the new frost plug heater. the owner of the dealership said hes never seen his technicians fight over working on a car before.

I think the '05 Mustang has to be about the most popular Mustang yet. Doesn't matter where you are, someone is always talking about it. It is one sweet car.
