MALEFICENT –2022 MUSTANG

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

WHEN THE SUN HITS MY CAR YOU CAN SEE THE PURPLE SPARKLE...

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.

My passion for Mustangs started when I was 16 and my first car was a 1999 35th Anniversary Mustang. I loved that car! I drove it to college and put a lot of miles on it but also had a ton of fun memories in the 10 years I owned the car. I tried to switch to a different type of car that would handle the rain and snow better but after a few years and going to many car shows I knew I needed to be back inside a Mustang. My 2022 Ecoboost Mustang is my fifth Mustang and I am so happy that Ford has finally made a stock purple color. As soon as I heard about it I knew I had to have it! I named her Maleficent because she has a good and evil side just like me and it fits with the name of the paint color of the car, Mischievous Purple Metallic.

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!

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

Mods include custom purple leather interior, custom racing stripes, mirrors, ponies, and engine cover.

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!

Purple has always been my favorite color and it was also my mother’s favorite color. She passed away in 2004 and part of the reason why my car is purple is to honor her memory. I know she is in the car driving with me everyday just as excited about any new addition I add to the car. It has always been my dream to have the perfect purple Mustang and now I can finally say I have achieved that dream. When the sun hits my car and you can see the purple sparkle, it’s the best feeling in the world. I am so thankful I get to drive this car every day.
