Hi

Ordered a 22 LT1 Riverside blue, manual w/sunroof, tech pkg, Satin black pkg, dual NPP exhaust and Recaros! Hopefully delivered by mid-June is what the dealer said

. We’re not too far from the assembly plant in MI.
Got a great deal trading in my base model Velocity blue 2020 MUSTANG GT manual w/301A pkg, black accent and active exhaust. It only has 8000kms. The GT is great bang for the buck performance wise but the LT1 is even better with the options I was able to get with it👍🏼
Here’s a list of cars I’ve enjoyed in my 51years on this planet
88 Pontiac Firebird: 2.8 V6 I was 17 and it was great! If it was an 8cyl I would have had some major issues
89 Toyota Celica GTS: Actually belonged to my girlfriend who’s now my wife. This is the car I learned how to drive a manual in.
95 Eagle Talon TSI AWD manual: First car I started doing some performance mods on and heading to the track with. Ran a 13.4 at 105 which back then was pretty awesome for a daily driven 4 banger.
2002 Grand Prix GTP: Daughter was born and had to get a sedan for safety and space. It filled the gap during early fatherhood.
2006 Mazdaspeed6 AWD: Got the itch for a manual again and in between my son was born so had to stick with a sedan.
2011 BMW 135i manual: No more booster seats! This was a fun car! 300hp/tq and lightweight! I wish I would had kept this one a little longer.
2013 BMW 328i Xdrive auto

Kids decided to play travel sports so needed the space and winter traction.
2020 Mustang GT: Kids driving their own cars now and decided to give myself a 50th midlife crisis covid birthday gift
A couple Minivans and several SUVS paired with these vehicles that I’d rather not go into detail about

I think I will keep this Camaro and pass it on to my son when it’s paid off

As you see, I’ve experienced and I respect various types of cars. I have friends with exotics, cobras, JDMs and classics. I believe regardless of the brand you are loyal to, if you enjoy cars, driving and performance whether it’s a 4cyl Japanese car or American Muscle you feel the same way

Sorry for the short essay! Hope to be part of the community for a while!
