MEET PHOENIX!
Phoenix is a 5th Gen, 5 speed, '05 V6 Vert who is under the distinct impression that she's a V8.
After my '03 SVT went to the big Corral in the sky in July '03, I didn't think I'd have the heart to get another one. I spent the next two years harassing the dealership by test driving every Pony that hit the lot. When the 5th Gens came out, I had mixed feelings - I loved the exterior, but wasn't crazy about the interior. Phoenix was the 1st Torch Red 5th Gen Convertible to hit the Fayetteville market. Not believing the salesmen, I called every Ford dealership in a 50 mile radius just to confirm. Sure enough, those seedy little wankers were telling the truth. So, I bought her 09/30/05 and have had a grin on my face since then. She is officially my 4th Stang, and the *apple* of my eye.
I can hear some of you groaning, wondering why on earth would someone go from an SVT to a V6...the answer is simple, but my secret. Her name says it all...
I read somewhere the other day that people with the new body styles, are snobs and don't really 'acknowledge' other Stangs when passing on the road.
This isn't the case with me.
Those that have the new Stangs, yet don't bother to wave, nod, etc., are probably first time Stang owners and only bought them for bragging rights and/or status symbols. These are the people that have no grasp of what kind of car they have; which I think is very sad. Those of us who have grown up around Mustangs, know what the etiquette is! (Just thought I'd clear the air on that.)
Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome! I will be sure to update the site as soon as I get my mod list going; she's completely stock at the moment so any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated! 
VrOOm, vrOOm,
Lisa
