I bought my LSx .....truck 8/30 of this year.  I traded in my 2000 Mustang GT that I've had since 01.  There's no real story to it.  I was looking at Evo IXs.  They're AWD, make good power, are fun to drive, and have 4 doors.  The SS meets all that criteria, plus it has a pimp interior.   I kinda stumbled across mine.  I got pretty good deal.  The dealership lost money on me.
