Wife bought me a new, screaming yellow, 5 speed manual, Mustang GT for
Christmas! Well, actually I'll be making the payments, and I picked it
out. But, she said OK, and that's as good as buying it.

Great car, fast, fun, and furious. Can't wait to drive it up to the
boat to go fishing.


Very nice! We've decided to buy a convertible this coming spring, and the
new '05 Mustang vert is up there on the list of possibilities. It's due out
in Jan-Feb, and it one of the less expensive we're interested in, but I
think it'll be more fun than most of the others.

A neighbor has a 2005 V6 with automatic transmission. We went out the
other day in it, and it is a screamer too. That transmission is the
smoothest shifting I've ever experienced.

That's good to hear, but if we end up with a Mustang it'll be a V8 GT. I'd
go for the SVT Cobra, but they reportedly won't be out until '06, and I
haven't heard if they'll be offered in a convertible. We won't be waiting
that long.

The wife is leaning towards a Boxster at the moment. I can deal with
that...at least she doesn't still want a Volvo... yuck.

I had been thinking of the Boxter, but lost all thoughts thereof when
I saw the Mustang. Sitting in it (at 6'3.5") made me a believer. The
Boxter is just too short on room - not leg room (?) but back seat and
trunk room. Can't play Santa to the grandkids with a Boxter.
