TABITHA’S REVENGE - 2023 MUSTANG GT/CS

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

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!

My relationship with the Mustang began way back in 1985 when I was 18 and my dad let me take a spin in his ‘64 1/2 coupe. Man, it was rough – the passenger side floor was totally rusted out, so we had to remove the seat to keep it from falling through! I was crushed when he sold it for $2,500.

Things came full circle in 2014 when I bought myself a new 2014 Mustang 3.7 base coupe and discovered that Mustangs really do have something special about them. Of course, 2017 brought some drama when I got behind on payments and the bank repossessed it… only for me to find it 6 months later at a used car dealer for thousands less than I owed on it. When I sold it in 2021, that car had over 198,000 miles under its belt!

Then one day at the dealership, I saw the 2023 Mustang GT/CS and realized that all my upgrade attempts on my old 2014 Mustang had been to try and turn it into a California Special - scoops, louvers, spoilers… you name it. Now I’m the proud owner of this beauty and can’t wait to see where the wind takes me next!

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.

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!
