CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

JELLYBEAN –2013 MUSTANG

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.

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

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT MY CAR IS THE SMILES SHE GETS WHILE WE’RE CRUISING!

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!

Jellybean is a 2013 3.7 Cyclone V6 Premium Convertible, MCA Special Edition in Gotta Have It Green. It is #395 of a build of 638 convertibles and #47 of 80 in Gotta Have It Green produced that year. It has a GT/CS style spoiler, BBK short headers, shift tune, cold air intake, headlight splitters and hood stripe.

My husband and I bought the car in January 2023. He got his Mustang the year before, so it was time to get mine and complete the “his and hers” set. I always wanted a convertible and chose the Mustang since it’s been my husband’s dream to have one, and now we have two!

We are part of the Iowa Mustangs Unstabled club and enjoy going to events and cruises. The best part of being a Mustang owner is meeting all the new cars, and their people! It’s a special kind of excitement that we have for each other in sharing our stories and history. I enjoy seeing photos of their cars from decades ago and hope I get to enjoy mine that long as well. Each car is unique, and I’m learning more about them every day.

My favorite thing about my car is the smiles she gets while we’re cruising! I just love driving it!

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!
