Don’t tell Stacey! LOL😂 Great review Matt! All your points are valid. When you have, and love an S550, the S650 might not appeal to you as much. I really appreciated your shout out and the honest / respectful way you assessed the car. The GT has some nicer exterior styling than the EcoBoost but inside they are the same. My takeaway so far is that my 650 has tighter steering, better handling and better throttle response / power than my 550 had. Beyond that, functionally, the two cars are pretty similar. Like I said….this younger girl isn’t special enough for you to break it off with Stacey! 😊 Great video my friend!! I’m happy to see you putting out vids again! Would LOVE to see another creative vid like “Fear in Silence” 😊
HA HA, I thought you would like that, Joe! 🤣 And yes, I was a little biased on the ride, but thank you for the encouraging words on how the video was handled and expressed. The beauty of life is that we have a choice to choose, and this alone is why we should never take this life for granted; this goes much deeper than a car, too 😉 I would love to try out and check out a GT and perhaps see yours one day. I switched jobs in September, and I travel from time to time for sales. I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago is in the cards sometime soon! As for the videos, life took a crazy turn in January, hence why the videos went on pause for a bit, but I am back and hopefully get back into the routine. After almost 2 decades, I was served with divorce papers. I'm doing good now and have my head in the right direction, but I will still have to work through the legality of everything, fun times. Perhaps a video of this experience alone is in the cards. It would be about how I worked through it, and if my experience can help others, that alone is worth the time of making it! I really enjoy making the videos; it exercises the creative side of my brain 😁. That said, I don't want to stop; the show must go on! Thanks again, Joe, for the awesome and encouraging words! I really appreciate them. I hope all is well in your world these days, too!
@@LifeOfaMatt very sorry to hear about your marriage Matt. 🥺 I was concerned when months went by without a single video. You will close this chapter of your life and begin a new one. It would be appropriate and helpful to others (and yourself) to do a video on this painful period. I would LOVE to meet up with you whenever you might be in the Chicago area!!! It would be amazing. I’m praying for your strength and recovery from this difficult time. Like you said…the show must go on..for both your channel and your life. Be well my friend. Everything happens for a reason. 🙏🏻
I have a manual 2018 GT convertible with the Performance Pack, my interior looks exactly like yours, I still don't like the big screen on the S650 and the loss of the toggle switches, the hand brake and the fog lights.
Thank you @SantiagoPilgrim. After turning 35 and now 40, loosing weight just didn't exist. So January first I picked up a 2 year contract gym pass and started to work my a$$ off! Well, it has finally paid off. I actually saw 179 on the scale the other day too.
@@LifeOfaMatt That's fantastic. One piece of advice if I may is look after it now. It's way too easy to get complacent and put it all back on and more. Sadly I speak from experience, but I'm getting back to where I was very slowly.
@@s550days Exactly!!! I am actually working on a video for a smart scale that I picked up. It tracks everything with no effort of having a phone around to use it. And you are right; it's all about getting back on the horse and staying on it. Believe me, I don't want to go back. In April, before I left for Hawaii, I did a big cloth shopping spree. I was fitting into Mediums again, and what a feeling that was. I was so proud, full grins on my face for each piece that I tried on. Plus, I looked damn good too 😎 Thanks again for the words of encouragement! Side note, why did the channel name change?
@@LifeOfaMatt Good work, Matt. Really proud of you brother! My channel was originally a personal vlog, now it will become my Mustang channel. I chose s550days because it's available on all platofrms. I'm going to get a sticker for the car so people can easily follow me when I they spot the car out and about. My other channel @santstravels is now my travel vlog.
@@s550days Thank you!!!! Love the concept!!! Subed to the other channel too! I can't wait to see what comes from both channels now. As silly as it sounds, I made a business card for the channel that has a QR code on it. So I give these out to people, they scan the code and then go right to my page. So much easier to remember for them that way. I took a break in filming; see my comment/response to Joe in this video. Life took a turn but doing good.
Neither am I Mitchell! Have you seen this video of mine when I first saw the 2024. My same opinion still applies today. th-cam.com/video/meQfHYJO0PQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7X-5Egn_z9_3oIDF

Thank you @@joesprostreet74gto68, I really appreciate it!!!
Hands down, really good new refresh.
For the 2024? I’m taking that you like the S650 over the S550? Both are beautiful rides needless to say.
Wow 🎉 how long have you been making video like this ??
Too long 🤣 thank you for the watch!
@ okay good 👍 so how have you been sharing or promoting your videos so far ???

Exactly!!!!!
Interesting how the headlight tip goes up instead of down. It's taking a step back to the pre-facelift s550. Good job on losing those pounds brother!
