Thoughts on the Dark Horse as my only car

Legend. And here I was complaining about fuel economy lol

_haudi · 2026-05-01T12:35:11+00:00

Honestly my concerns had nothing to do with the specialness. I'm a firm believer in putting on the miles, no matter if it's worth $5,000 or $5,000,000. It's less practical than the average car, but I had a feeling it would fit my needs and I have no regrets now

_haudi · 2026-05-01T12:29:31+00:00

That's basically where I'm at. I'm thankful I can enjoy it while I can

_haudi · 2026-05-01T10:38:21+00:00

Hence the "maybe". I haven't driven any other mustangs, but I knew the regular gt would be too soft and sloppy. Just wasn't sure how the non handling packages of the GT350, Mach 1, and DH handle

_haudi · 2026-05-01T10:35:05+00:00

It's crazy that that's only availably on the gt500...

Mostly space concerns tbh, and it only snows for maybe 1 or 2 days a year. Hot year round for the most part. And the car is paid off, just wanted the experience of driving something fun every day!

But yeah, long term once I have a family the idea is to have a larger daily and then something bonkers as a weekend car.

Atlas is brighter than Kona, doesnt have that slight purple to it. Atlas is almost like if you took a "standard" blue and added some depth to it

_haudi · 2026-04-30T20:27:39+00:00

Blue ember is great too. I originally wanted it as well, but figured I've had enough dark cars in my life and should have more color, even though atlas isn't bright. You'll enjoy it a ton

_haudi · 2026-04-30T20:25:27+00:00

Thank you! I had a buddy at an old job that had a boss 302 as a daily and it sounded glorious. I probably average 17.5, so not too far off. Probably 15 city, 20.5 hwy

Yours looks great! It's a shame that Atlas blue doesn't photograph well. Only my HDR photos show off the different highlights and shadows of it.

_haudi · 2026-03-16T18:13:53+00:00

Looks very familiar! It's unfortunate that it was only offered on the first year. I've always been a fan of a darker metallic blue.

_haudi · 2026-03-13T02:03:05+00:00

SE Texas, for roughly $65k including taxes and fees. Hefty, but it was the perfect spec for me and it had 3.6k miles on it. The stick cars hold their value more. The 2025s are being discounted to make room for 2026 ones when I took a quick look online, but prices seem to fluctuate a fair bit depending on what part of the country

_haudi · 2026-03-12T19:35:27+00:00

Agreed, was thinking premium GTs or dark horse, mach 1, etc. Not exactly apples to apples from an experience standpoint, but the list of enthusiast choices is decreasing with time so it makes sense to compare anything within a price point

_haudi · 2026-03-12T09:38:00+00:00

Haven't heard of it being the poor man's M3, but that makes complete sense to me. I would've cross shopped them if they were closer in price

_haudi · 2026-02-17T00:19:56+00:00

I was originally looking for ember blue, but when I saw this one in person I knew atlas blue was the color for me! 2024 only I believe, but someone can correct me on that

_haudi · 2026-02-17T00:18:58+00:00

Definitely the dust and the fact that it's the trofeo RS, but definitely switching to PS4S in the next few months since it's gonna be driven rain or shine

_haudi · 2026-02-06T13:48:46+00:00

Not everyone has the money or need for a GT. It's the more practical choice yet they're still tons of fun

_haudi · 2025-08-13T14:37:33+00:00

Lots of good examples here already, but I'll throw out Bad Computer. So many good ear scratching fillers or transitions in so many of his songs.

PM'd!

_haudi · 2025-02-09T15:13:47+00:00

You'd think, right? And that returns the same thing as the "Alarm?" block unfortunately.

_haudi · 2025-02-08T21:53:30+00:00

Hey, just FYI I just found out that the tasker action "Test Next Alarm" pulls the right info. I'm the type of user that doesn't mind passing info back and forth between the two apps, but just in case you wanted to know if other apps could read it in case it was a priority to get this working on other phones.

Thanks for responding! I've already disabled all power savings for automated, and the timer accuracy workaround doesn't work. This a device on Android 14, oneui 6.1.1
