That's a great car, Lynne!! Do you drive it year round?

I Love that mystic paint color!! I wonder if cars will soon be like mood rings, where they turn colors based on emotions or time of day or other things <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Lisa,
I just got it about two months ago, but I plan on driving it year round. They were made to be driven. I love it.

Very neat Lynne! I bet you get lots of looks when you drive it <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AINTD, I'm not sure that red is traditional. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I see a ton of Mustangs around here and I don't think I've seen a single red one. Maybe one, sometime, but it's not the usual color. The mustangs I have had so far have been black, grey, white, then white with blue stripes when I painted on the blue stripes, and then silver. I think my next one might be burgundy, I really like the way the burgundy color looks.

Well, I did have a candy apple red 69 mustang, fastback. But I found that I got pulled over all the time. When I had it repainted I didn't get pulled over at all! I've seen two or three red mustangs besides mine, but really there are hardly any red cars out here. It's just not a very smart color to have your car, if you don't want to deal with getting pulled over all the time. (and no, I do not break the law, usually it was silly things like, 1 mile over the limit, or just a check to make sure my car was really mine. Lot's of times I got pulled over because they didn't think I was old enough to drive)

don't they call that "Arrest Me Red" ? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Probably.... at least it sure felt like that everytime I got pulled over! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, the '65 Mustang is a classic and they were almost all red as far as I know. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here they pull over people driving the worst car possible, the ones that are like 20 years old, and have suspicious characters in it like arabs and similar. They would never pull over the Imola Red Ferrari. So, it's a bit different.

They also are very tolerant with speed breaking here. A paradise for those who want to drive faster than 120 km/h.

I don't really think that a changeable color on a car is that great. You wouldn't do it on executive cars like Mercedes, BMW and even Cadillac would you? And sports cars, only TVR has done it, but that's just an exceptional case. I think it reduces the car's status. Makes it look cheaper than it is even if the painting is expensive.

I'd be very careful buying a Jaguar since they are notorious for many awful electrical problems, especially the earlier models. I hope you never experience this.

My Jaguar specialist mechanic tells me not to worry. My car is in excellent condition and has always had excellent care. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It has nothing to do with a condition or care at all. A NEW Jaguar at those times was full of problems. I'm not trying to convince you made a bad choice or something, this is all down to you. I'm just saying the pure facts, so you're aware of them.

Thank you. I've been aware of them for some time.
