that would be awesome Ray!

I promise I don't have any critters on me!

Pete said it has to be 2000, 2005, or 2010 rated!

So, I thought I would share with you guys. I was over at the Ford dealership in meriden yesterday, and I saw out of the corner of my eye, a new mustang. However, it didn't sound quite right to me. A guy was driving it through the parking lot, about to put it on a flat bed for transport. I waited for it to get closer and I saw a cobra in the grill. Then it got a little closer, and I saw the GT-500 across the side. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed. The exhaust note while sitting was a little different, but when he touched the gas at all, I got chills. Too bad the guy loading it up was an idiot, and didn't have a clue what he was doing. This has gone long enough, sorry for the long post. Wish I had had my video camera with me, or even just a camera. It was a black, with black racing stripes and a convertible.
