I bought this car out of pure impulse in July of 2001. I had been driving a 1990 Ford Tempo since Fall of '97 when I started College and had to park my true baby - a 1988 Ford Mustang LX 5.0L. Upon completing school I realized I could only afford one car and I chose practicality. The GT is a good blend of that practicality plus it has a little punch to it too! It'll never replace my Mustang in power or style, but I've grown to like the little bugger!
