So it has been a little while but I am finally back in a Boss. Some of you older members may remember I used to have a Boss in every color and 2 Laguna Seca Editions along with a few GT500's.

Well after being without a Boss for about a year I was dropping my car off at the Dealer for service when i saw her. A beautiful white 13' Boss 302, which was my favorite out of all of them previously. I had been looking off and on for one that had low miles and they were not asking so much money that it just didn't make sense to buy one that would barely be driven.

Well, my white 13' with 2800 miles is now home and has been lowered and a few other mods and I just LOVE it! I forgot how great of a car the Boss is. I don't see myself driving my new M4 or my Chevrolet SS to often anymore.

I had been away from Stangs for a while and been driving Porsches but my back just couldn't handle them anymore. I really thought I would never be happy with a car again. The Boss is every single bit of fun to drive and enjoy as my 14' 911 or Cayman S.

I really just love it.

Here are just a couple photos from the day I picked her up. I will post some more once she gets a bath with her new wheels and suspension and other good stuff.

Dadz Welcome Back!

I remember you had your dealer ready back when I was trying to source a Laguna Seca from the Sangin Valley of Afghanistan! Not an easy task!

I agree with your points about the Boss fun factor. Seems to match with the best of them in this regards. I daily drive a 911 and the Boss compliments it very well with it's extreme V8 and race car handling. Definitely will remain in my garage for a long time.

Have you had one on a track yet? They feel right at home especially on Sebring and Road Atlanta...

This was two years ago today! She only had 200 miles on her at the time. The accident was from faulty suspension piece/work and the car was traded as is and I bought a Roush convertible to replace it. Only one I have ever hurt in anyway.

I could literally go on all day posting up photos of all my cars from the last couple of years, but it would just get boring and look as I am trying to brag, which I am not. I am sick and have a problem and buying cars is about one of the only things that makes me happy. Love everything about cars, the way they work, drive, smell, cleaning them, beating on them, pampering them. You get the point.

As you can see I am a HUGE Mustang fan! I have actually just traded in the M4 for the first spot for a GT350 at my local Dealer. Have no idea when the ordering banks will open but I do know the first one coming in will be mine! I can't wait.

If your back is messed up, who rides the crotch rocket that's visible in the garage in that second shot of your M4?

Good collection, bravo sir!

My guess is High $50's. I am thinking the way I will want mine equipped (unless there are more packages I don't know about yet) it will be $63-$65.

I ride it, it is one of my babies. It is a very upright Bike though. It is a 2012 Kawasaki Z1000, so pretty comfortable and very little bend in my body when riding. I can normally go for about an hour or so before I start to feel it. Believe it or not, being out on the Boat is much harder on my back.

Just went back and looked at the photo. The one you can see is my Wife's CBR. Mine is an orange Z1000.

I love your collection OP, excellent variety. How many cars do you generally keep at one time? I know garage space is limited and you probably have to pick...kind of like picking which children you will keep I assume :D

I just put Michelin Pilot Super Sports on and what a huge difference.

I'm sure you've got the MPSS on some of the other cars.

I know you live close to VMP. Are you thinking about a blower or keeping it N/A?

I met a guy from Abilene with a PW 2013. He has a Procharger and it was amazing. He drives it daily and it can run 9.40/145 in the 1/4.

I was keeping about 9-10 at a time but I am now down to 5-6 at the most. Trying to keep them longer and have less of them.

Why not? The Boss302 is widely considered the greatest Mustang ever built :)


Agreed! I would take a Boss 302 over any other current Mustang and over most other cars I have owned. The closest second would be the 14' Cayman S I had. It was a true drivers car much like the Boss.

I run the Michelins on all my cars. It is the first thing I do as soon as I get any car is go and exchange my tires for the PS2 SS. Love them!

I doubt I will put a blower on it. Justin's Boss (VMP) with the blower is bad A$$, but I just don't need that much power. When I get the GT350 we will see how that car handles and if it can handle the extra power and still be very drivable.

VMP works on all my Roush's and Shelby's and can ring lots of extra power out of them. He did my 11 GT500 Vert and did the bigger blower and all the other goodies and it just scared me. I am hopeful the new cars with their better handling and road manners will be much more drivable and safe with large amounts of power.
