Summer toy - 21 Mustang GT Convertible
Discussion
After having a bit of a break from performance/hobby motoring and sticking mostly to just A-B type cars, various life goals and aims changed and I found myself looking at something to use as a 'toy' again. I'd kept my old Mustang around for sunny summer days (a 1997 GT cab with only 40,000 miles on the clock. I don't want to part with it). But I seem to have somehow ended up with a newer version of the same thing 
Today the Mrs and I went to look at a 2021 GT convertible. We're both suckers for black cars, black interiors, and this car has the triple black roof. Not too happy about the black wheels, but that's easy enough to fix. I went down to the dealers with the intention of having a look and going away to think about it. But a test drive and a good barter with the pleasant sales chap saw my wallet falling open and $$ flying out. Which makes me the soon-to-be happy owner of this 5.0 Coyote engined V8, 460hp lump of US goodness. It'll be mine in a couple of weeks when I have time to go back and pick it up. In the meantime it's having a small recall fix, some cabling to the bootlid patched up and a service.
Here's some quick snaps I took after the test drive.

Very nice - were you looking for an auto? Nice combo the auto with convertible.

I didn't mind auto or manual, either would've been fine for me. Of course manual gives you all the control. But a modern auto shifts faster and has adaptive modes. So I can slush box around in it, or set it in race mode so it bangs gears in a flash. There's also paddles for semi-manual change.Health to enjoy
