About my Mustang

***NEW PICTURES AS OF 5 November 2011!***

After coming back from Iraq badly injured, I spent over 10 months in hospitals. The whole time, I was reading every thing I could about my beloved Mustangs. Right after I was medically retired, my wife said, "Order the Mustang you want, but please don't go over $35k!" Since picking Ruby up from the dealer over a year ago for under $32k, I've done an extensive amount of mods that have taken the price of the Mustang to about $36k. Fortunately, my wife doesn't consider mods as part of the price! I've got a C&L Intake, BBR O/R X-Pipe, full 3" exhaust leading to a pair of Flowmaster Super 44's tuned by Jon Lund. She sits on Steeda Ultralight springs with Koni STR.T's all around. Drilled and slotted rotors, ASA GT5 wheels in 19x9 with BFG KDW2's in 255-35-19 up front and 275-35-19 out back. I've also put on a GT/CS front fascia with a BOSS 302 splitter. Many other mods are installed on this car and all of them by me in my garage. Saving up for a Super Charger now and I will also handle the install in my garage. After a couple of prior Mustang's, I must admit to this one being my favorite of all time! She's putting down 410/392 but I've yet to get to a strip to test her out. Need some DR's and wheels for that though. More mods? SURE!

@Tony...Call Tirerack and request they special order the wheels. Sorry, not in the mood to talk about my military experiences.

@Benny....Thank you very much sir! If you've got all your bills paid for and can still buy a nice Mustang, I say go for it. You will NOT be disappointed with our beloved Blue Oval's newest 'Stangs!

Everyone else, thanks so much for voting and commenting! This is the best, most enjoyable Ford I've ever owned, and I've owned a few of them! The way Ford stepped it up in '05 with the S197, then again in 2010 with the upgraded materials and quality and then, yet AGAIN with the intro of the new 3.7L and 5.0L engines just goes to show how much you can accomplish when you aren't trying to pay back a government loan!!!

I dont think asking a wounded man how he was hurt is right. It aint too nice or considerite.

Wow Frank! Your car is amazing! Every thing you've done to it is carefully thought out, excellently put together, and the end result is a car that looks SO clean and unassuming, yet once that engine fires up, she turns into a beast of beauty!  

I am ordering a Race Red 2012 and plan on going the same route as you have. One question though. I have searched and searched and cannot find those wheels! Tirerack has them, but only in a 20" size. Can you help me out here?

I would like to thank you for your service to our nation, Frank! If you don't mind my asking, how were you hurt and what were your injuries?

Thanks brother! Got pics up of your beast yet?

I look through all the pages of Mustangs on here and I'm SO overjoyed that America still is in love with this iconic machine!
