There are a couple different ways we fall in love with Mustangs. It could be the way they look that sets the hook for us, or it takes a little deeper inspection from behind the wheel to turn us into a Mustang fiend. Usually though, one drive is all it takes, and there is no turning back.

For Bryce Conkle, prior to joining the United States Air Force in 2012, he mostly looked at cars as a means to get him from point A to point B. “I had always dreamed of owning a really nice vehicle that expressed my personality and that I could take pride in and make my own,” he says, “but at the time the lack of a real career did not allow such a luxury.”

That all changed when Conkle joined the USAF. He says, “I had a career, I had a future, and more to the point, I had the means to purchase a really nice ride.”
