–2007 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE

SHE WAS PERFECT, AND TO THIS DAY I STILL THINK THAT SHE IS IN HER OWN QUIRKY WAYS.

Pinky is my daily driven, 240k mile 2007 Mustang GT. I traded in my WRX for her at a dealership in South Carolina in 2019. I was extremely picky about color and options. Honestly, I wanted a Grabber Orange convertible GT, but I couldn’t find one in a manual anywhere.

I watched multiple listing sights like a hawk, until one morning, there she was - a black GT, 5-speed, convertible with a little over 120k miles. I immediately called to ask when I could come in for a test drive. The very next day I picked her up. She was perfect, and to this day I still think that she is in her own quirky ways.

The pink wrap didn’t come about until a year later. I had the wild idea that I wanted something different. Rose Gold was my original choice, but I ended up going with

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

Bubblegum Pink because it reminded me of my old pink Plymouth Duster. The original wrap lasted less than a year, unfortunately, due to a trailer running over the front end as I was getting gas. It was so painful to watch. Two long months later she was finally put back together. She’s by far no show car, but she makes me happy!

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
