DFW Metroplex   Texas
Default Counting cars

Hey everyone,
Every day when I drive to and from work, and on the weekends, when I am tooling around the DFW metroplex, I count the number of 05's I see. GT or V6. If you are familiar with the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I drive from south of the Airport (Euless), to downtown Dallas every day. (and back, to go home)

My question is, does anyone else count the 05's they see? I tried counting the pre 05's, but stopped when I got to like 50 or so in one day.

So far, I have counted up to four in one day -- total. I've never gotten over four. I know this number will change as more and more people get one, and I figure once I get to 5 I will stop counting.

BTW, if you live in the general vicinty of where I drive, I've probably counted you!

Hey jaypers...

Although I don't live in DFW area, I can count on one finger the number I see around my neck of the woods (Wichita Falls/Burkburnett) each day. Soon I can count two, if your own stang counts.

I've seen 5 in my neck of the woods and there's less than 30k people that live here. 3 GT's (counting mine), 1 GT Convertible, and 1 V6.

I work right off of 35E in Carrollton and I see at least one or two different 05s each day. I get on the highway once or twice a week and I'll see maybe one or two while on the highway. Mostly V6ers too.

I've seen only 3 in the Boston area, all V6 Coupes, and my GF saw a Red Vert with red leather on the highway once. Thats why I was allowed to get a Red Vert

I keep reminding her what a good decission it was that she let me buy it and how great she looks in it. Good thing she doesn't know the difference between a V6 and a V8, I told her this was just more expensive cause its a premium and I wanted her to sit in the best lol.

That's awesome I wished my wife had not known the difference either! She about choked when she saw how much the insurance was going to go up with the GT!

I thought it odd that I didn't see more 05's here in DFW, since our population is somewhere around 2 million.

oh, and GO PATS!!!

I see the same stangs now in my area on a weekly basis. Just noticed this week, someone at my work of 200 employees just purchased a conv V6 windveil. Now I'm not the only one at my work with the new stang. I rarely see any GTs.
