WHEN THE SUN HITS HER JUST RIGHT...

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

My name is Amber Rupert and I own my Purple Dragon which is a 2023 Ford Mustang GT. They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Not in my case! Give me my Mustang and my dog!

Ever since I was a little girl, I was always into cars. Thanks to my dad and his passion. But something about Mustangs stuck out to me. My dad taught me how to drive stick shift in his 85 Foxbody.

Fast forward 15 years and I got my Purple Dragon to call my own! I got something for pretty fast cars. She shares the driveway with my Ford Explorer ST (Black Beast).

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!

Purple Dragon is still somewhat new to the family. She doesn’t have any mods yet, but boy do I have a list. She has a stock purr to her so exhaust is fine for now, unless I want to be louder. But she definitely needs to be tinted. She has a 6 speed manual transmission. Shopping for her I knew I wanted to be unique. Coming across that Mischievous Purple exterior... WOW! When the sun hits her just right you see the purple and there are hints of blues and greens. She’s absolutely gorgeous to me!

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.
