Exclamation Hello all

I just started reading this message board yesterday and I have to say you guys seem like a great crowd. Sorry I'm so late to the game, but reading this stuff is killing me. yesterday I read about the guy who finally picked up his new '01 and I have to say I'm getting a little excited. See, I ordered my new Black '01 last Saturday and am going to have to wait 3 to 5 weeks until it gets here. Now, the fastest vehicle I have ever driven is my '65 mustang gt convertible (pulleys, exhaust and msd) which is fun, but not really super-powered. After reading all of your propoganda on how great these trucks are I am already sporting wood, and I still have at least 2 weeks to wait.
Just thought I would say hey and let you all know you will probably be hearing/seeing more from me in the future! HELLO!

Welcome, from another ex-65 Mustang convertible driver! Let me tell you, there is NO COMPARISON between the performance of these two vehicles. I never knew my Mustang was so slow!
