purchase a 2005. She lost her job & had to sell it. But happy days are here
as she is back on her feet & now owns a 2006 Mustang she named Bella.
Mike Winter: He is at it again. He sold a Mustang and low and behold
he found two more. An orange GT convertible and a Mach 1. Mike asked Rebecca
to help him decide which one to get. Rebecca picked the Mach 1 because "she
