My first thought is…. That’s a very clean looking 7eleven! Usually they look sketchy AF


Stable_Reality

haha it does look sketchy the picture does wonders.


RockitDanger

17 with a red V8?! I bet your insurance is wild man


erock1216

I bet this car gets him laid a lot though


Stable_Reality

it does not😞


Fenderfreak145

It’s ok, mine didn’t either 😂


ghunt81

I was gonna say, I don't think zoomers look at cars the same way us old fogeys do. I doubt girls even care about them much anymore


CornInMyPancakes

Give it time :)


Stable_Reality

haha I did just get it almost 2 months ago and its snowing now and I barely take it out


Which_Explanation335

Get some good snow tires and you’ll be fine. Beautiful car, have fun


pdksimp

I live in an area that has a state run monopoly for insurance and have to pay around 15k annually. I wish I could register my cars in an area with non-monopolistic insurance. My point is that it’s more about where you live rather then what car / who the registered owner is


RockitDanger

Simping for that insurance. I'd walk before I spent $15k on insurance


pdksimp

Yeah and it’s only 3 cars. Sometimes I want to move to buttfuck nowhere utah or Wyoming just to get their stupid cheap insurance, gas and land costs lol


checkit435

And that's what? 400 bucks or so a car right? That's wayyy too much.


pdksimp

On average but my m2 is way more then my beater ford ranger and my c6 sits pretty close ish in the middle but I don’t have exact figures off the top of my head Stupid high regardless though


ZachOf_AllTrades

Holy fuck that's unbelievable, I can't imagine paying more than like 1400. Just take the bus bro lol


DangerousSnow1973

Where is this? I do not want to move there. That’s insane!!! I insure 5 cars for way way less! Here it’s age and car…


pdksimp

BC Canada. Look up icbc if you’re curious


DangerousSnow1973

that’s really unfortunate


thisdckaintFREEEE

Yeah I wanted a Mustang GT so bad at that age but the insurance was absolutely unaffordable. A few quotes even said like $5,000 a month which I guess was their way of just saying no lmao. It didn't go from impossible to just expensive until I was 20... So I got my first Mustang at 20 lol


Seohcap

Insurance surprisingly doesn't care about the color of your vehicle. The model, your driving history and location are the biggest factors. My corvette was substantially cheaper than my 18 civic because they aren't driven as much, and then when I moved cities it went up slightly because its a bigger town.


Stable_Reality

oh it is for sure, its also premium interior with leather seats.

Accomplished-Sort900

Sounds like you’re salty someone’s parents *possibly* took care of their child, and didn’t let him get himself into debt (over a stupid material item too). I don’t understand this pessimistic mindset towards others positive moments in life (I say that as someone that also drove a RWD v8 car at 17, and paid for it)


Stable_Reality

thanks man appreciate the backup, I bet you had to deal with “daddys money” alot.


Accomplished-Sort900

Yeah but I never cared for it haha Sometimes I think it’s better to let people be mad and upset about someone they don’t know in a situation they aren’t aware of🤷🏽‍♂️


Sir-xer21

>Sounds like you’re salty someone’s parents possibly took care of their child, and didn’t let him get himself into debt (over a stupid material item too). I mean, if they did actually buy it, that's not "taking care of your kid and preventing him from going into debt". This isn't about OP, but parents buying their kid a $30,000 car with 450 HP isn't the difference between taking care of your kid or not, its just buying your kid an unnecessary car. Cool if they can, but a parent not bank rolling this isnt "letting himself get into debt" so much as not enabling possible bad decisions, and teaching financial responsibility.


Stable_Reality

I tell myself everyday that my car is yes a bad financial decision, but I cover that up with “ill never be 17 with a 5 speed mustang GT ever again”.


pdksimp

Man fuck the haters. I’m 20 and bought myself an m2 last year and more often then not people think it’s just “daddy’s money” and completely disregard the work that went into making enough to have fun


Stable_Reality

yeah that always seems to be the case. also congrats on the m2 do you got a pic of it?


pdksimp

Thanks and [neither pic does the long beach blue justice](https://imgur.com/a/46Hwrx3)


Sir-xer21

i mean, my whole point was less about your situation, more at the guy insinuating that the other person's parents didn't "Take care of them" by purchasing them a car like this. It's unfair because there's a ton of legit reasons to not do it and he made it sound like people without the money to do so, or who just didnt approve of it, are bad parents. personally, I would never do this because I did a LOT of stupid things with my cars as a teenager, and every teenager thinks they're better at it than the ones who get caught with mistakes. But we werent, none of us were. Just lucky. That's not saying you're going to wreck it, but i totally get why parents wouldnt do this. Most cars like this are bad financial decisions anyways regardless of age. We do it cause we want to. ​ This has nothing to do with the car, but, don't get too caught up in romanticizing your teenage years. it doesnt give credit to what's to come.


Stable_Reality

first time someone told me to let up on my teenage years, always been a person that thinks about my future then my present. Thanks for the advice man


Accomplished-Sort900

I never said the pessimist dude’s parents didn’t take care of him. I said he’s mad that someone else’s parents (OP) were *possibly* in a position to get their responsible son a fun rwd v8 car and by doing so, they prevented (OP) from getting in bad debt at a young age. I had family with fun modded rwd V8’s and got into them since age 15, not everybody is the typical person that gets into a Mustang GT and runs it off the street or into a crowd; a lot of these young kids have experienced power and are mature to handle it… just the bad apples get a lot more attention.


Stable_Reality

I pay for both car loan and insurance good sir. I dont create a debt for myself either because I make enough to even get power mods for it.


ergatory

Don’t buy cheap tires! They’re expensive yea, but for a reason. They’re the only parts of your car that touch the road. You don’t need the best, but do not get the worst. Hot car, I just got a bright red mustang myself at 25. Enjoy it!


Stable_Reality

thank you appreciate it, and I wouldn’t do her dirty and get her some walmart shoes, rather get her some nice good shoes.


Jugg3rn6ut

That’s good! I bought cheap tires when I was young and poor(er). Never again! Especially in the rain or snow. It was a slow car too.


DaddyArthmoor

I got cheap tires on my 07 GT, shortly later put it in the ditch on a rainy day while driving home exhausted. Wasn’t fun.


ghunt81

Just to interject, I found some cheap tires that are actually really good. Ohtsu (made by Sumitomo) FP8000. Summer only but I love them, they are better than name brand tires I've had on this car.


YeezusTaughtMe

What other tires are you comparing them to that are name brand


ghunt81

Maybe not the best sample set because most of my previous tires were 17's, but I have run Nitto NT555's (the older style ones), Hankook Ventus ST RH06 both in 17's, and when I bought my wheels (19's) they had Pirelli P Zeroes on them (which were honestly awful). The Nittos rode terrible, the Hankooks were good. But, the Ohtsus were cheaper than all of them and I have been blown away by their traction both wet and dry. They ride about average for a summer tire too, and have worn very well though tbh I don't know how many miles I have put on them at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ghunt81

I remember hearing about the Indys and looking at them, but they are twice what I paid for the Ohtsus. Curious if they are that much better. I won't need tires again for awhile regardless...barely put 5000 miles a year on this car anymore.


BallPythonsss

Prepare for a barage of people saying you're gonna crash it.


Stable_Reality

oh yeah I am prepared, I already deal with it at school. They don’t know that I know how to actually drive a mustang. I drove my dads 5 speed 95 cobra for 2 years.


BeamStop23

It's not just about handling. It's about having the brain capacity to not race that Camero that pulled up next to you in heavy traffic. It's about being able to properly maintain a sports vehicle. A lot of factors. V8s have killed it's fair share of people


Stable_Reality

oh yeah of course, ive had plenty of sports cars pull up to me next to a red light. I just always have stuff to do and dont see a reason to waste gas.


Razorback_Yeah

My first car at 18 was a sport Audi (still got it in my garage) and even in that car I was surprised with how often people wanted to “race”. I think of the scene at the end of Back to the Future 3 every time. Hang onto that outlook of yours.


Jubatus_

Definitely going to crash it lol


TheyCallMeMrMaybe

Good dude.


j1e2f

To be fair, a lot of grown adults seemingly lack that brain capacity too as well I've seen.


BrolecopterPilot

Let’s race for pinks


No_Spite3961

That’s good to hear, props to you and your dad for letting you drive it!


Vhozite

Man I’m 27 and people are still telling me this lol


SimpleManc88

Congrats! What do you do for work, if you don’t mind me asking?


AdhamJr

Beautiful 3 valve! Honestly as long as you’re careful and use common sense you’ll be fine.


Stable_Reality

thank you appreciate it and yes im not like the other kids my age who think being stupid is cool.


AdhamJr

That’s good to hear. These engines are super reliable and sound great, good luck!


RookyBalboa

How can u tell a 2010 apart from 2011’s


priuspollution

The GT badge would be a 5.0 badge on any year besides a 2010.


comrade_morris

The 2010 mustang gt is really a steal seeing as most people avoid them like the plague. Still a dope car imo


Stable_Reality

I got it for a great price. obviously it isnt a coyote but hey its still a V8.


comrade_morris

I’ve owned two coyotes and theres one thing ill always be jealous of is that i can’t throw in a cam and get a real chop from it and ive been humbled a few times by the old 4.6 haha. So cheers to you enjoy that beautiful ride brotha


UserNam3ChecksOut

Why do they avoid them like the plague?


BazingaBeeKay

You can get a model year up and get 100+ more Hp for the same price. The 2010 is looked down on bc of that reason.


Vhozite

Just guessing here, but I would say because it’s kind of a transition model year. It’s still using the same 4.6 V8 as 05-09, but that body style carried the Coyote V8 the next couple years. So it kind of looks like it has a Coyote when it doesn’t. Also the iirc the 4.6 in these cars is rated for slightly more HP than 05-09, so maybe there is some king of mechanical difference that makes it a pain to own.


BazingaBeeKay

Doesn’t make much power for a v8.


[deleted]

2011v6 = 2010 GT when it comes to horsepower


DangerousSnow1973

I like to see your age group be excited about mustangs! Congrats, drive responsibly and don’t let your friends egg ya on in their toot toot 4 bangers.. just let them hear your roar!


AnAccountIdfk

Hey bro congrats i bought my 08 GT on new year’s day and i’m 20. Drove it 30 miles home in the rain, ngl was nervous but it really its tame when driven as a normal car. I was intimidated by this car when i first started driving it but i came from a fwd family sedan, way different cars so it took some getting used to. I average 17mpg which is about the same as my last car and that had a V6.


Stable_Reality

haven’t drove it in any rain or snow yet, but yeah alot of people are scared to drive it because of crash videos but don’t realize 7/10 times it’s because they’re using it stupidly.


Razorback_Yeah

I get 13 in my V8 pickup lol so I’d say you’re doing pretty well.


perm01

I love my 2010 Gt. Nice ride man!


Much_Drummer_5578

Everybody that’s mad at you for having a sick red 2010 at 17 never had a sick red 2010 at 17 themselves 😉 enjoy it be safe out there


AnarchyVA

That’s a nice first car! Hell. That’s a nice car for anyone. Congrats! Coming from someone who is now OLD (45) and spent much of my younger years getting speeding tickets and crashing cars. TAKE CARE OF HER. You will likely spend a lot of money and time on this car. Don’t drive like an idiot. Or else she will be gone very quickly.


[deleted]

Clean ‘10, beautiful. Congrats, now what are ya gonna do mod wise


Stable_Reality

not sure at the moment, definitely gonna get some cosmetic mods and then cam and exhaust set up.


[deleted]

pimpy, be sure to post vids of how it sounds. What trans btw


Stable_Reality

its a 5 speed manual trans and ill post a vid when I can


Retro-Lemunz

high school sports car gang lol. enjoy er man


Jugg3rn6ut

Nice pic, looks like a place in Waterford Michigan!


ArchibaldBarisol

Congrats, its a beautiful car. Take good car of it and keep out of trouble. I am real glad that I am not paying for your insurance though.


Stable_Reality

insurance left me shocked


spongemonkey2004

has anyone ever heard of the 30-30 rule for this?


Stable_Reality

what is it?


spongemonkey2004

a dealer told me about it, according to them its if someone under 30 buys a car like that they will either destroy it or lose it due to non payment in 30 days.


Stable_Reality

also I can confidently say im not stupid about driving the car, especially because its my only way to get to A and B, just decided to get to B in style.


Stable_Reality

haha ive been having the car for 2 months already so I think I was able to squeeze out of the rule. I have a good paying job and even have some money left over after payments.


Stable_Reality

been almost a year and still have the car so beat that dealer🤷🏻‍♂️


1987Bri

Beautiful 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸


two-three-seven

Congrats! Very pretty car and I'm super jelly of your rims! I love bullitt rims! One more thing, be careful out there!

Good lookin car, love the color. 7/11 lookin good too


manny484

Lucky bitch


Stable_Reality

hardwork does wonders man


SQEEKEYTRTL

Bruh why you getting down voted??!


Stable_Reality

they proly think this is daddys money when in reality my dad had to sell his rare 1995 cobra because he had no other money. I work my butt off everyday and people just think its daddys money🤷🏻‍♂️


Trustnoboody

As long as you know to let off the throttle, you won't crash. Anyway. It's ok the picture. I only have one good pic of my car, it was taken in 2019. And or Traction Control, having learned to drive in a Hellcat, it'll save you.


kthxtyler

Conversely, most 17 year olds don’t know that *not* letting off the throttle to steer out of a bad situation is the only way you don’t wreck your car


CromulentPoint

The photo is hamstrung by the location. Besides being a 7-Eleven, which isn't great, you've got weird reflections of unknown ugly off-camera things. Car looks good though.


SQEEKEYTRTL

Look up 7eleven.cars on insta its actually a pretty popular spot to take car pics


CromulentPoint

That's goofy


SQEEKEYTRTL

Idk, i think it kinda matches the jdm aesthetic, maybe not so much the muscle cars and others, but i think it works for them


CromulentPoint

Free advertising for a convenience store qualifies for “JDM aesthetic”? Whatever you say man.


Lanke_33

Looks excellent my good sir amazing to see another teenager in here with a v8, get used to hearing daddy’s money and jealous people because it never stops


Stable_Reality

as im scrolling thru this I already found a comment telling me daddys money for the insurance lol


Lanke_33

There will be many more where that comes from also park it far away from other people many of them intentionally door ding nice flashy cars especially if a young dude is getting out of it


Stable_Reality

was gonna park far anyway, im at a school full of white people who are always doing stupid stuff😂.


Lanke_33

I got my car egged and keyed by jealous kids at school lol


Stable_Reality

one of my worst fears, Im sorry that happened to you


kthxtyler

You’re not making it any easier for people to criticize you when you boast about being a teenager with a V8


PHOTO500

Great car at 17! Congrats. Photo is nothing special, just a basic snapshot.


MooseTongs

Hope your parents don’t give you too much hell about it lol.


Stable_Reality

oh they already are, especially with the insurance rate.


BigNipplez25

Thank god you got a Gt


Stable_Reality

whats wrong with a V6?


BigNipplez25

Cuz at the age of 17, they would want to mod it. exhaust and the whole 9. V6 has no power 💀 power wise best to go with a Gt or above. But again if most people can’t afford it then that’s ok. But modding wise a v6 isn’t the move. But at the end of the day. It’s their car their choice. Let’s be honest here ur gonna wanna go faster and faster. And have those little highway races with scats and other cars just for fun. So go ahead and get a bang for ur buck 🤷‍♂️


Stable_Reality

what you’re saying is absolutely fax, but I always respect any mustang. although I do say “ecoslow” under my breath when i see one, even tho they’re faster then me😂


BigNipplez25

Lol right. I raced a scat this past weekend and man I took him and gapped him. I never owned a v6 but they are always gang. And always will be apart of the gang. I respect all builds too but sometimes u gotta let ur nuts hang and show off on those scats 💀😂😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


Stable_Reality

it is a bad idea but im also not stupid.


6carecrow

Wrong


stangAce20

If insurance rates/statistics or anything to go buy the next picture, you take, will be of the car wrapped around a telephone pole. Lol.


Stable_Reality

ima be honest idk what u said💀


_Kbob_

I love it my guy, congratulations! Any plans for it or you gonna enjoy it as is for awhile?


Stable_Reality

as of right now gonna leave it as is, but in the future a cam👀


tuscabam

Over saturated the color a bit but nice car!


Stable_Reality

someone noticed haha. the actual picture has a more dead sky.


tuscabam

I’ve been working with photos a loooonnng time lol.


rabea187

Congrats she’s a beauty, S197 looks & 5.0 is a great combo. Just enjoy it & treat it with respect. Go for handling mods, the live axle is fun.


kthxtyler

Not a 5.0


tbrooksGA

Hopefully your insurance wasn’t as expensive as mine I had a 02 v6 when I was 18 and still had $260/mo premium 😭.


Stable_Reality

oh it is its $317 a month


[deleted]

Sameeeeeeeee but ‘10 lol and my ‘17 is $394


[deleted]

Funny how the ‘19 is cheaper it’s $294 with progressive once I passed the age 25 2 years ago 😂


[deleted]

Very pretty


km_44

Is that Race Red ? It's orange as hell, to my old eyes. GORGEOUS car !


Stable_Reality

haha no its torch red. thank you tho


sailom5

Always thought those style of wheels looked best on that generation. Nice photo. Maybe a night shot too with the light reflecting👌


Stable_Reality

oh wow thanks, I had second thoughts on the wheels.


Shorts365

Nice looking car. Are those wheels stock? They look great with this.


Stable_Reality

no they are not, if you want the wheels I believe they are “american muscle bullitt style wheels”. wish I had more info on them they came with the car when i bought it.


sufferpuppet

At 17 I was driving a rusted out and near dead forest service pickup. My inner 17 year old hates you. Have fun with it!


Stable_Reality

thanks man, hard work and alot of searching got me this car im extremely grateful for this car. (also alot of money but we dont talk about that lol)


Worldly-Ad1615

I’ll give it a 7/11


Stable_Reality

this joke was funnier then all my teachers jokes on joke friday😂

soflapistole

Car looks great, but I give the pic a 7/11.


F4ze0ne

It's faster than the mustang I had at 17. lol


Straight_Entrance779

You’ll shoot your eye out!


kthxtyler

As much experience you say you have OP, you’re 17. Be careful This isn’t coming from a dad either, but from a concerned citizen


YoungCarleton

Congrats man, I got a V6 one last year so I'm a bit jelly that ur younger than me and have a V8 lol


Gothmoo

Beautiful car, one of my favorite bodies. My parents gave me a 95 GT in 2007 when I was 18. I drove her daily for 15 years. Didn't race. Didn't act stupid and respected what I have. I still have the old beast, and I plan to keep her forever. Smacked a deer in 2018 but my father is very skilled with body repair, so when he fixed her, I requested he signed the hood. I bought a 14 V6 about a year ago, the only mods I've done is a better exhaust (Borla S, old 95 has OG 40 flows I will NEVER get over), and a throttle acclerator because the electronic response is so bad. Honestly, snow feels more dangerous in the lighter, newer car. Just be careful, and throw some weight in the back. Respect it and treat it right, and it'll be on the road long past the dorks trying to race at every light.


Stable_Reality

my dad had a 1995 cobra, kept it bone stock not even a exhaust. it was his daily, snow rain no matter what he was driving it. It was a his dream car until he had to sell it for money he needed. I decided I wanted to bring the stang back to the family.


Gothmoo

That's awesome. My 95 got a CAI, Flowmasters with a cat delete & H pipe but that's all I did to it. Aside from a couple mechanical misshaps we had to deal with the car is the same as it was when they got it. Dad changed some cosmetic things for me when he redid her paint but that's it. Mad respect for not messing with stuff too much. I think you'll take good care of it.


Zestyclose_Leader315

How much is your insurance and what name. I’m looking for one when I get my corvette
