Hi guys,
Didn't post this in the new user area since I have been lurking the boards for ~5 years.
I have owned 3 S197's since 2008, with two of them purchased on this message board. The first vehicle I bought came from a fellow on the board named paypay2345. I had been looking for a clean, low miles Legend Lime Mustang for a couple years, and Joe delivered. I managed the typical S197 upgrades here (suspension, bolt-ons) then ended up turbo from a PowerHouse kit. Was a very fun car. Here are some pictures right before I sold last year.

My wife (Jen) and I had our first baby last year, so I sold the LL car and my daily beater to buy a bigger, more reliable family car.

This ended up being a 2012 SRT8 Charger - I thought it would cure my need for not necessarily speed, but a fun car. Problem was the car is so damn big and snazzy inside that I felt like I was throwing money out the window every time I ragged on it.
This past Friday (July 11, 2014) I purchased Jason's (fhlh) Grabber Orange Mustang from him. I am from the Metro Detroit area so flew down to Houston to purchase and drive the car back up. Jason was incredibly honest and very forthcoming about all the work he had put into the car, going as far as providing alignment receipts. He picked me up from the airport and had a pile of parts waiting in the garage for me to look at when we arrived at his (beautiful) home to dig through and decide what to bring back home. I ended up driving to Nashville where my wife flew in to meet and hang out Saturday. I had been to Nashville a few times for Lions/Titan's games, but she had not. I friggen love Nashville. I met a lot of Detroit Lion's fans there - this one makes "roary" towels and is sending me a box of them!

So here's the new car home, safe and sound, in the garage. I have a pile of parts already sitting in the garage and will post pictures up of the changes to teh car as they happen. I like the path Jason has taken with the car (clean and sleek) and plan to work off of that.
This is after a quick bath at home from the 20hr drive and bug eating that occurred.

FYI - after driving a turbo and twin screw car, I definitely enjoy the twin screw more on the streets!
