Up until last Saturday, I hadn't purchased a new car in over ten years, and I was really enjoying not having a car payment. However, I have been putting a lot of miles on my cars lately, and I needed something reliable and inexpensive to run that was still reasonably fun. Simply put, I don't have as much free time as I used to, and on those rare occasions in which I do have time to work on my stuff, I don't want to be fooling around with my daily driver. If it breaks, I want it to be somebody else's problem, for the next few years at least. So, with that, I ended up buying this:
I found this car at a local dealership (Sarchione Ford in Atwater, Ohio – check them out, they took great care of me and they have awesome stuff in the showroom). It's a 2021 Ford Mustang EcoBoost High Performance Package with a six-speed manual in Grabber Yellow. No options whatsoever besides the High Performance Package and the stripe delete. This one is #33.
So far, I've ordered the Ford Performance X springs and oil separator, as well as the Steeda jacking rails. Right now, I'm just cruising around town in the evenings after work until I can get my break-in miles on the car and get my paint protection film and ceramic coat applied. Right now, it looks as though all of this stuff will be taken care of just in time for me to take the car on a 550 mile trip for a stand-up comedy gig on August 10th. Righteous.
