I really like those and would not mind having one, but my wife thinks they look like darth vader's helmet.:shrug:
Anyway great deal on the fx, and really great deal on the taurus. :beer:
If you like it, then enjoy it. I was looking for a Mustang to replace my Cown Vic and drove a bunch of 05 GTs and a few 01 Cobras. I was set on getting an 01 Cobra until I went to test drive an Audi a6 with a friend of mine, it completely changed my mind and made me realize that I do not want a Mustang at all. I feel like many people do not evaluate their priorities and just buy a car because of some stupid reason. It took a test drive of a luxury car to realize that I rarely race and most of my driving is on the boring side, so therefore there no reason to get a Mustang, maybe just maybe the OP thought the same thing and in result the FX fits his lifestyle better.
Yeah the exhaust is surprisingly loud from stock, even the FX35. Have you ever heard an FX35 taking off from a dead stop? Even in just normal acceleration it sounds cool.
Good choice and congrats on the great deal, I love those things. As an SUV they're somewhat useless so I just think of them as tall hatchbacks. :-D
