I finally have my dream car

It’s a 2018 Mustang GT (manual) with 43,000 miles and a new Ford engine that has less than 2,000 miles on it. Any ideas for names?

How about naming it after one of the Minions? :grinning:

I was considering Kevin, but I’m looking for something that sounds less British, haha.

I’m brainstorming famous characters or outfits that are yellow.

Tweety, Odie, Wolverine, Sinestro, Homer, Bart, Marge, and other characters from The Simpsons.

I actually like Marge; I need to give it some serious thought.

I’m intrigued. Why is the engine new?

“Anomalous overfuelling issue” was what it was.

Ah, I understand. That’s a nice car. I’m getting my S550 in about two weeks. You could name your car Minion.

Thanks, man. I’ve only been out in it for an hour, but I’m having a great time. I hope you enjoy yours as well.

That’s fantastic. The Mustang has been my dream car since childhood, and I’m finally getting one now. I can’t wait to have it in my hands.

Same here, I’ve wanted one since I was 13 (which was 10 years ago). I thought I’d have to wait until my 30s or 40s! You definitely won’t regret it. Just be cautious because the rear end can be quite lively, even with light to moderate acceleration.

Oh yes. I’m definitely a bit nervous about driving it too. I’m 23 and consider myself a cautious driver, and I really want to learn how to handle this car. Mine is also automatic.

I believe a healthy sense of unease is beneficial, to be honest. Many people lose their lives due to reckless driving.

I promise. Mustangs are known for their reputation, so I want to make sure I learn a thing or two about driving a rear-wheel-drive car, especially one with nearly 500 wheel horsepower.

I have the same model, but mine is a convertible. Just a heads up: you might get pulled over more often with a flashy color compared to a more subtle one.

Thanks for the warning. I’m 23, so I’ll likely be a target. I used to have a modified WRX and never got pulled over. In the UK, the police seem less keen on stopping drivers compared to other places, and traffic stops are generally random; unless you’re driving recklessly.

Congratulations. This is definitely one of my top five favorite Mustang models.

Thanks, man. Aside from the models from the '60s, this is my favorite.

Awesome car, man. I absolutely love it; such a badass ride with an amazing engine and stunning looks. I hope you have as much fun with yours as I’ve had with mine. I just did a 700-mile trip with the manual, and it was smooth as silk. :call_me_hand:t3: Congrats, bro. Glad you made it back safely.

Thanks, man. It’s such an incredible feeling. I was hesitant about switching to a slightly slower car, but the sound and the experience made it totally worth it. I’ve been searching actively for 6 months, and I’m so glad I finally did it.
