So, Who Else Can Share This Honor?
Hi all! My name is Matt, I'm turning 20 shortly and my '05 GT, which I've owned for close to a year now, is my first car! Sure I've driven my mom's Pontiac before, or my grandparents Volkswagen, etc. But my '05 is the first car I've ever personally owned. I'm kinda curious, how many other members here have the same story? I mean I have to say it is fantastic.. I still can't quite seem to believe in some years I'll have to settle down and buy some 4-door mellow family-friendly car (God forbid, an SUV!!) all for the sake of practicality! I can certainly tell you I will never let her go, though. She is my first love! How many of you guys still have yours from way back?
It's great to be here everyone!

Welcome to the site dude - just because you get older doesn't mean you gotta grow up and buy "some 4-door mellow family-friendly car" or an SUV. Hell I just got my first Mustang a couple years back and I'm well over 30. Age means nothing.

A bitch I'm gonna guess!!! Talk about the worst catagory to be in - male, early 20's, mustang GT. One step above alcoholic repeat offender hit and run drunken street racer as far as the insurance company is concerned! I hated paying those premiums.

Haha, believe it or not they're quite reasonable! My parents have multiple vehicles for business, so they added mine under my mom's name as an occasional driver, so I'm paying just $225! Contrast that to ~$500 if I was on my own.
As for getting a second car one day, it's inevitable, I need to buy a winter car at some point.. for now I take the bus during those months, as I can barely keep the rear two planted in the rain, let alone snow! and I would NEVER do that to her... in fact the guy I bought it off of runs a dealership, and I bargained out free rustproofing every year for life! YES!
It's been 5 years, but she looks like she just rolled off the assembly line!
