RHONDA –2011 MUSTANG GT ROUSH STAGE 2

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

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.

SHE TURNS NECKS ON A REGULAR...

My brother always had Mustangs and still does. I had to have one, too. I originally bought a new 2013 Grabber Blue GT Premium but she was too common. Then, came Rhonda. She’s different - like me.

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!

She’s my six speed manual 2011 Roush. Originally solid Ingot Silver. Now, painted custom with Gotta Have It Green and Black (inspired by a SEMA). She’s mostly stock - a few cosmetic changes such as chrome in the interior and under the hood, engine cover painted to match and some adjustable coil-overs.

I enjoy taking her on scenic routes, straight highways, and cruise down A1A. We’ve visited several states such as TN, KY, AL, GA and FL together. When we have the opportunity, we love to hit up car shows. She’s won Best Paint, Best of Show, and Before I was Antique to name a few. In 2016, we met Jack Roush and his son, Jack, Jr. Super cool fellow and a moment to remember.

She’s definitely a looker. She turns necks on a regular and sounds mean too.

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!
