Scratch one off the Bucket List

Took this around Laguna Seca yesterday. My life is damn near complete.

Congratulations Lesley from a senior member of the GRM BB west coast overnight crew.

Hot damn girl, I would kill for that ride around the track

nice! do you have an employer who pays your expenses, or are you self-employed and write them off of your taxes at year-end?

Sweeeeeet!

I like everything about the car but the Red accents.... Make them grey or silver

Wow! So where's the review?

Me = Jealous.

I drove a Honda Civic to Iowa and back recently.

NOT FAIR!!! And I work for a Ford dealer! LOL

Congrats, that's awesome!!

That's awesome!

Did Jack Baruth hit on you?

Did Rob Kinnan keep it on the track?

I know Jim Kenzie was slumming down there with you for the press day - sounds like a fun time!

I'm hoping that somehow I'll be able to afford a 2013 Boss (with the '70-style stripes) when they come out.

Black stripes on either yellow, grabber orange, or grabber blue.

Review is on auto123 (written at 1 am that night, yawn, ain't winning no Pulitzer for that one!), the car companies issue the invitations with expenses paid and the publications send a writer, yes I travelled with Jim Kenzie - we missed our connecting flight and rented a Mercury Grand Marquis , No Baruth didn't hit on me, I think I scared him, I don't know Rob Kinnan. Oh and John Philips was there. I love John Philips - his writing makes me laugh til I snort.

The car was everything they hyped it up to be, really impressive handling.

Did they give you the Red Key for it?

i'm getting an internal server error at auto123 when i click on the link to your review

I walked most of the track a few years back and I thought THAT was awesome. You bucket list is shorter now, and mine just grew by one.

Want a Boss - first mustang I've ever wanted. Someone buy me one, please?

I just finished reading autoblog's driving impressions from the event. I got to the end of the article and wanted to yell HooRah! It's awesome to see Ford back in the game and kicking ass.

White looks better on blue, IMHO.

Congrats!

Well, that would be my third choice. What I want is black stripes on yellow or grabber orange:

The first one we drove was Grabber orange, then took out the black Laguna Seca for some fun in the hills.

Here's my review, the link works now: http://www.auto123.com/en/ford/mustang/2012/review?carid=1121803601&artid=128247

Conquest351 - yes, we got to try the red key. Pretty cool, it's like having a standalone for track days... all in a key. Completely changed the engine note, added a very lumpy cam and aggressive acceleration and deceleration. Holy cow, that thing handles well - I had a hot lap with Rolex Daytona winner Johnathan Bomarito, he's a wonderful smooth driver and the car was just in the zone. I felt pretty comfortable out there by myself (having driven it all over the coastline earlier) but wish I'd known the track better. There's a tricky hairpin, a scary dip... and that corkscrew induced some serious pucker factor.

bitch

hhhhhmmmmmmmmmm, Two redheads.
