Oh, HAPPY DAY (sort of)

Stopped for a photo shoot this morning. The local Ford dealer has TWO 2005
convertibles on the lot - both black, but one with a black top, one with a
tan top.

Both are sixes, but DAMN they look good.

That black on black is VERY sharp, and I felt goosebumps. But I always said
I'm too old to have another black car. Still... if I'm going to have a
garage...

Can't wait to see a GT convertible.

I'm old and I have a black car. It hasn't killed me yet

Here's three of the photos. This is the black on black six.

I noticed that in the prototype pictures that were linked here, some time
ago. But in a GT with stick, I'm sure it'll grow on me in no time.

TFrog is about to turn 12 (and 180,000 miles). Every spring, I look over the
paint job and shake my head. And every spring it takes more work to get it
back to blacker-than-black.

But TFrog is an everyday driver and sits in the sun all day every day. Some
winters are harder on the car than others, and some summers are just brutal.

Still, after 4 or 5 hours of washing and polishing and waxing and buffing...
I just stand back and let it all soak in. A black Mustang is a thing of pure
beauty.

For about five minutes.

Now that I'm buying my first garage, I don't think I'd hesitate all that
much to buy another black Mustang. Especially if it's coming out on weekends
for a spirited romp on a pretty day...

I gotta say, after looking at the pics, the black is the best take on the
non-GT, with that big grille-mouth saying "duh!" that I have seen.
Is there anybody but me who would prefer the spoiler WITHOUT the tape stripe
treatment in the package??
No convertibles have appeared at the local dealership in W TX. Yet.

I agree with you. The spoiler is good, the stripes are - yuck.

Did anyone besides me notice the black on black SN95 parked next to it?

Yeah. I did. Notice how interested I was in a 2004 leftover?

Uhh...
It didn't look like an 04 to me.
Wrong taillights.

I agree, Dwight. The white stripes are a distraction.
