Hello from the Nations's Capital
Hi, I'm Paul from Ottawa. I bought my new 2013 V6 Premium Pony package Mustang just over a year ago.
Yes, I bought a Mustang in the middle of the winter... and I drove it home and have been driving it ever since. It is my 12 month a year daily driver. Over a winter and a half, it has handled most conditions thrown at it.
I even got in line in traffic this winter during a snow storm behind 2 other 2013-14 Mustangs. So I guess I'm not the only crazy one in town.
I do have one confession to make, I am a convert from GM. My brand has been Oldsmobile since my first car, but signs of the change might have started when I painted my '72 Cutlass Kona blue.
I hope you can welcome a convert into your group
even if he still owns 2 Oldsmobiles.
And I know everyone likes pics, so here they are.
When I first bought the car.
A few weeks later.
And here is a pic in "summer mode" from recently.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!
I appreciate the compliments on the car.
It was just pure luck that I found this exact car. Being new to the Mustang world, when I started looking in February last year, I was planning on ordering a DIB premium V6 stick with no other options or packages other than a block heater. When the salesman started to build one for me to get an exact price another salesman told him he couldn't order a Mustang anymore. I didn't know I was there right between the model years. So my next option was to pick a car out of the Canada-wide inventory. He couldn't find a DIB V6 stick premium without any other packages anywhere in the country. I left and started to wonder about other colours but I really liked the deep impact blue. I went back a week later and the salesman told me he found something close to what I wanted, but it had the Pony Package. To be honest, I liked the rear spoiler and the 18" silver wheels are nice too but I wasn't crazy about the side stripe along the bottom of the door, so I really didn't want the Pony Package.
In the end I guess it was meant to be. When I was looking at the window sticker and saw the line "Stripe Delete"
For the next couple of weeks, while it was picked up somewhere in Quebec and delivered to Ottawa I was a little excited.
After over a year, I still smile every time I get in the car.
I'll try to post some pics of the non-Mustangs soon.
