MISS SUNSHINE - 2003 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 FELL IN LOVE IMMEDIATELY...

I have been in love with American Muscle cars since I was a teenager. I got my first Mustang convertible for Christmas when I was 21 years old. I moved from Maine to Philadelphia when I was 24 and chose to bring my 1997 Mustang to the city. Only nine days later, let’s just say that it didn’t work out for 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!

After ten years in Philadelphia, I decided to move back to Maine. One day, my father surprised me with another Mustang convertible. This one in bright sunny 2003 Zinc Yellow. I fell in love immediately, but she needed a little love.

As I reflect on my car being 20 years old this year, coincidentally, it’s also been 20 years since I graduated high school. My goal is to help my Mustang age gracefully, keeping everything OEM stock and only modifying small things for modern technology. My ultimate goal is to register her as an Antique Auto in 5 years... and yes that makes me feel old.

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!
