today as the day was ending I took a trip to home depot to get wood for my door project. Came out and was putting my wood away when a retired couple walked up and complimented my exhaust and wheels and asked if it was mystic chrome. One of the reasons I love the DFG color is how at dusk it can look a combination of green/blue/black, I had to take them to the sunny side to prove it was green. Told them about our mustang club and they said they would look us up.
Then I am waiting at the light to get back onto the expressway, double left turn lanes and I am in the fist spot with a semi next to me. After a minute I hear the semi honk and wondering what that was about I leaned over to try and see him. I almost had to lay my head on the bottom of the passenger seat and when I did there was a big-ole-hairy trucker smiling at me. When he saw me look up he said,"That motherfucker sounds good! Can you get on it a little when the light is green?". How could I resist??
Its been a fun progression in that car. When my parents got it for my mom it was the 2nd one of the sn95 generation in a small indiana town and for the first 6 months of driving it you would have thought it was a ferrari. People stopping you in parking lots to check it out and everyone wanted to race at the lights... Then after a few years it was just like every other mustang in town and no one paid attention to it. I don't think it was until I brought it back to az in 07 and put the black deep dish wheels on it befor it got another compliment. After the side exhaust was installed it got more looks and comments and they became more regular. Now last year after the HCI swap it get just as many compliments on its sound as it does on its looks in parking lots. Its certainly not the fastest car in town and with the addition of my stereo may never be but I also doubt that perminant project will ever end....
