I would have to say my friends and family for me. I mean the look I saw on my dad’s face when I got my first Mustang was just so priceless. I think he enjoys having the car in our garage more than me. We have a 04 Mustang Cobra by the way, that’s if you haven’t read my “About Mustang Blog” page. We live in Michigan so right around the time the Dream Cruise comes up, we take a spin out on Woodard. It really brings back some good memories for my pops. It just makes me feel so warm and good in side that I can bring back those memories for him with this Mustang. He really makes me appreciate the Mustang that I have!

Then there’s my friends. Just about every weekend we cruise up and down Woodward in the Cobra. We like to chat about cars, women, the xbox, etc… It’s so much fun! Both the car and my friends really make me appreciate life a little more. Without the two, I don’t think I could enjoy life to it’s full potential. It really creates a getaway for me after a long weeks of work. Thank you Ford!

The gossip flying around the web is saying that the 2010 Mustang might have electric steering. A lot of Mustang owners aren’t too happy about this, some have experienced the way it feels on other cars and they aren’t impressed. It will be interesting if Ford implements it…

This picture is definitely one of my most favorite muscle car pictures off the web. It has the new age Mustang Cobra, 2009 Chevy Camaro, and the 2008 Dodge Challenger in it. I really like the high contrast and graphics in this picture. The rain beating on the cars really help bring out the mean muscle car look for these cars. Mustang Cobra GT500 looks so sweet!

Over the years there have been special appearances from Mustangs all over Hollywood. Well, I have put this special list together for Mustang enthusiasts on the net. If you haven’t seen of them, I suggest checking them out.  Some of them are my favorite movies!

I was wondering about this car the other day… I was thinking, what happened to some of the Saleen Mustang props from the movie. Well this isn’t an actual prop from the movie, but it is a replica just like the one from the movie. It looks gorgeous, I absolutely loved the one from the movie. I actually liked it a little better than the 2009 Camaro, which is really hard for me to say since I’m a big Camaro fan. They did a little modifying to it because of copyrights and such. The 911 has been changed to 411, “To punhish and enslave” has been replaced with “Power in the hands of a few.” And of course the flashing lights have been taken down from the top of the car, the police doesn’t want you zooming around town thinking you are a cop from transformers. I wonder who the lucky owner will be?

Knight Rider is looking good!!! I love little teasers like this, I just hope the actors can back it up. I know the Mustang can back up the hype, 540 horses baby. Can’t wait to see this car in action!

The company Maaco really has developed one of the world’s finest show cars for the SEMA Show this year. This super modified Mustang packs 550 horses under the hood, making it a beast out on the road. Along with power, Maaco applied DuPont color-shifting ChromaLusion paint. Definitely making it a very unique Mustang compared to the rest. They also used a saleen body kit, lambo doors, and sweet LCD screen inside to help liven things up for enthusiasts at the show. This Mustang really must of turned heads, what a car!

A YouTube video shows in the background a possible drawing of the 2010 Mustang and a spy photo taken by famed Photographer Brenda Priddy seems to confirm that in fact that car has a good chance of being the 2010 model.

Finally the real Mustang Kitt has been revealed to Mustang enthusiasts across the web. The Stang absolutely looks amazing I think, I like the dark demon look they created for it. KITT was designed by Galpin Auto Sports out of California in only one week under intense guidlines. The black rims look really cool along with the split headlights, I really like those, reminds me of the Mustang GTR. The car will be making it’s appearance in February, a two hour movie without the cheese ball David Hasselhoff.

It’s about time Ford liven things up with cool option for the S197 Mustang. The announcement was made Tuesday that there will be a glass top option for the 2009 Mustang V6 or GT. The option carries a $1995 value.

The glass top is made of tinted privacy glass so it’s alot easier on your eyes and keeps your interior cool during the hot summers. It will also keep your leather interior from being damaged by the rays of light. Strong rays of light can fade your dashboard and leather which can lead to a bad look for your Mustang. The cool glass top will come with a roller blind to block out the sun on really bright days. Also, it is made out of safety glass so it doesn’t shadder into sharp edges when you get into an accident.

This is a really neat option, I’m sure some of my buddies might be thinking about getting a new S197 now. I know a lot of Mustang enthusiasts were looking for this option for awhile. It’s was really not fair since the Camaro and Trans Am carried the t-top option. I can’t wait to get the chance of sitting in one at the Detroit Auto show, the Mustang option will make it’s debut there.
