You know it could be K Brown, does look like yours. I bet it has an EB too, cause it runs strong! Damn! These EBs sound as good as V8s now.

Looks good Jim. Good choice on the motor. Glad to see you bought a real truck and not a truck with a toy motor.

I heard the 2015 Eb Mustangs have something to where it sounds like a V8 when you are driving.. The sound comes out of the radio speakers..

Pretty cool for all you v8 freaks

I said it on FB, but im sure its just an intake resonator ducting and plastic "speaker" which is like a megaphone. All plastic, no electronics.

Correct...sound tube. I read the review on it. They just dull out the frequencies. Sounds like a muted engine from what they said.

Glad I mowed the yard yesterday evening...rain and thunderstorms this morning before the cool front moves through. May even drop down into the 60's tonight! Tired of this 90 degree and humid weather in October.

That storm moved through Athens about 6:30 last night. Put the truck in the barn as it was possible hail. Ended up high wind and heavy rain for about 30 minutes.

You don't want any hail damage on a brand new truck...thankfully I keep mine under a large carport. No bad weather yet over here just heavy drizzle and some lightning. Good day to take it easy!

Cool front is already through Houston -- looked like it rained pretty good last night and it was nice and cool when I went out to grab the paper this morning! The weather is looking so nice today I might take the Ranger out for a little run in the country (I haven't driven it more than a hundred miles since I picked up the Cavalier the first week of June) and grab some lunch at a little BBQ place I like that only has outdoor seating -- should be a perfect day to sit on a picnic table, read the paper, and feast on a little brisket!
