the latest is a 2009 Mustang GT. For two years I drove it 189 miles a day round trip over hilly, twisty snow and ice covered roads to get to work. Rain, snow, ice, 90 degree heat, never missed a day’s work. Retired now. Love it,...
****************************
Retired here, as well, and I also love it because of the tremendous reduction of stress in managing a large department at a major defense contractor.

I’ve always lusted for and wanted a sporty Mustang, since it was first introduced. Didn’t care for the fastback look, but like the others. ...Probably doesn’t fit this 71 y/o with a gray beard and unkempt brown hair now, but really still want to have one of the newer models. ....Probabally would just get me in trouble. Former owner of a 280ZX T-top 5-speed, but now drive an Impala LS 3800 sedan, like an oldster.

Go ahead and get one. I'm 65 and don't care what anybody thinks. It's Grabber Orange,so it doesn't stand out in a crowd, LOL.. It has the 4.6 liter (281ci) V8, and five Speed. It tops out right at 150 mph, and feels rock solid at that speed.

When I was driving back and forth to work, I needed a good gas mileage car. At 28-30 mpg, this fit the bill. The fact that it is fun to drive is a bonus. You only go around once, enjoy it.
